The number of coronavirus cases has been rising sharply at airport quarantine among people arriving in Japan even though the epidemic is subsiding in many parts of the country.
The health ministry says 131 people were confirmed to have the coronavirus at airport quarantine stations from May 25, when a state of emergency was completely lifted in Japan, to Wednesday.
The number is about four times the figure for the month ahead of the lifting. Over 70 percent of the 131 were foreign nationals.
Experts suspect that the lifting of the state of emergency may have led to the rise.
They say another factor may be an increase in the number of people entering Japan, including those with resident status, as the virus spread in other countries.
The government plans to ease entry restrictions only for businesspeople from countries where the infection situation is calm.
Wada Koji, a public health expert and professor at International University of Health and Welfare, says that if a certain number of people enter Japan in the current situation, it could be a trigger for the virus to spread widely again.
The professor also referred to the need for wide-ranging discussions on easing restrictions while considering how much risk Japan should take.

Health authorities in China say the country is capable of carrying out 3.78 million tests for the new coronavirus in a single day -- triple its daily testing capacity of 1.26 million people in early March.
The disclosure by the National Health Commission on Wednesday comes as Beijing is hit by a coronavirus outbreak this month.
The Chinese government has pledged to promptly carry out polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, tests to isolate those that test positive.
An official at the National Health Commission, Guo Yanhong, told reporters on Wednesday that 90 million people had undergone PCR testing as of Monday.
The outbreak in the Chinese capital stemming from a wholesale food market this month has resulted in 256 known infections since June 11.
Beijing authorities say some 2.3 million people were tested and instructed those leaving the city on business and for other reasons to have the tests.

France's iconic Louvre Museum has unveiled its anti-coronavirus measures in place ahead of its reopening on July 6.
The museum, which attracts some 10 million visitors each year, shut down following a lockdown imposed by the French government in March.
The museum opened its doors to journalists on Wednesday.
Visitors are required to book a time slot in advance to avoid crowds. Both staff members and visitors over the age of 11 must wear a mask in the museum.
Social-distancing measures are also in place. Signs have been placed to guide visitors and prevent overcrowding.
The gallery housing Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, Mona Lisa, is usually crowded. Ropes and floor markings are now in place to manage queues and keep distance between visitors.
The president-director of the museum, Jean-Luc Martinez, told reporters advance bookings will allow visitors to enter the premises without lining up and said he wants them to visit free of concerns.

Health authorities in China say the country can do 3.78 million coronavirus tests in a single day. That's triple its daily testing capacity of 1.26 million people in early March.
The disclosure by the National Health Commission comes as Beijing is hit by a fresh outbreak this month.
The flare-up stemming from a wholesale food market has resulted in over 250 known infections since June 11.
Beijing authorities say 2.3 million people have been tested. They've instructed those leaving the city to have the test.
While many countries are struggling to ease lockdown measures, France's Louvre Museum is set to reopen.
The gallery attracts some 10 million visitors a year.
It showed its antivirus measures to the media ahead of its reopening on July 6.
Signs have been placed to encourage visitors to maintain social distancing. Staffers and visitors over the age of 11 must wear a mask in the museum. Visitors have to book a time slot in advance.
Louvre Museum President-Director Jean-Luc Martinez says, "Visitors can enter the museum without standing in line by making reservations. Please feel it's safe to visit."
Johns Hopkins University says COVID-19 infections exceed 9.3 million worldwide.
The World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says the surge will continue. He urged countries around the world to take urgent countermeasures.
He said, "In the first month of this outbreak, less than 10,000 cases were reported to WHO. In the last month, almost 4 million cases have been reported. We expect to reach a total of 10 million cases within the next week."
The head of the WHO's Health Emergencies Programme, Michael Ryan, says the pandemic in the Americas is "intense" and has yet to peak.
The global death toll tops 479,000.

The International Monetary Fund has once again slashed its economic forecast for the global economy. It now estimates a contraction of 4.9 percent in 2020 --- 1.9 percentage points lower than its forecast in April.
The IMF released its World Economic Outlook Update on Wednesday.
The report warns that by the end of 2021 global activity will take a hit of more than 12 trillion dollars as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
Among advanced economies, the IMF in particular sharply lowered its forecast for European countries.
France is now expected to see a decline of 12.5 percent, down 5.3 percentage points from its April figure, and Italy, minus 12.8 percent, down 3.7 percentage points.
The United States will contract by 8 percent, down 2.1 percentage points, and Japan, minus 5.8 percent, down by 0.6 percentage points.
The IMF notes consumption growth has been downgraded for most economies, reflecting the larger-than-anticipated disruption to domestic activity.
It also says the projections of weaker private consumption reflect a combination of a large adverse aggregate demand shock from social distancing and lockdowns, as well as a rise in precautionary savings.
Among emerging markets and developing economies, where infections are spreading, the fund expects a contraction of 4.5 percent in India, down 6.4 percentage points from its previous forecast, and minus 9.1 percent in Brazil, down 3.8 percentage points.
IMF Economic Counsellor Gita Gopinath said given that there's so much uncertainty and the health risk is not over yet they are projecting a slower recovery.
Gopinath adds that the IMF expects to see a pickup as many countries reopen, but that the growth will be uneven.

Japanese Defense Minister Kono Taro says the government has decided to retract its plan to deploy a land-based missile defense system called Aegis Ashore in Yamaguchi and Akita prefectures.
Kono told a security meeting of Japan's main governing Liberal Democratic Party on Thursday that the government made the decision at Wednesday's meeting of the National Security Council.

Japan's Defense Minister Kono Taro says the government will withdraw a multi-billion-dollar plan to deploy the land-based missile defense system, known as Aegis Ashore.
Kono said, "The National Security Council discussed the matter and decided to give up on the plan to deploy Aegis Ashore in two prefectures, Akita and Yamaguchi."
Kono laid out the government's reasoning at the meeting of Japan's main ruling Liberal Democratic Party.
He called it unwise to have Aegis destroyers focus solely on missile defense, when developments in the East China Sea also threaten Japan.
There was also pushback about the proposed sites.
The US-designed Aegis Ashore system intercepts ballistic missiles outside the atmosphere.
Japan planned to deploy it in response to an uptick in North Korea's ballistic missile tests.
Residents close to the sites had concerns.
They worried about falling rocket boosters.
But Kono says it would be difficult to find alternative locations.
The government also admitted last week that modifying the technology could be too costly.
The government wants to outline a revised national security strategy before the end of September.

A nationwide vote on constitutional reform kicked off in Russia on Thursday. The changes include a revision that would allow President Vladimir Putin to seek a fifth term.
Russians are being asked whether they are in favor of constitutional reform. The voting will continue through next Wednesday.
The draft amendments were proposed by Putin in January. They would allow him to run in another presidential election after his tenure expires in 2024.
The Putin administration held a military parade on Wednesday and called for national unity.
The coronavirus pandemic has worsened Russia's economic situation. But Putin relaxed restrictions ahead of the vote, allowing restaurants to reopen in Moscow, in an apparent effort to ease public discontent.
