Masks are more less sold out at most stores in Japan, even drug stores, and the shelves at the stores are often empty. Before planning a trip to Japan, it is strongly recommended to buy boxes of surgical masks in your country and bring it upon your travel. While travelling, to help prevent the spread of the diseases, things that you could do is to wash your hands frequently, avoid close contact with people who are sick, stay home when you are sick, use a tissue instead of hand to cover your cough or sneeze and immediately throw the tissue in the trash.
