After a long day of traveling, NBC News journalist Savannah Guthrie has touched down in Tokyo, Japan ahead of this summer's Olympic Games.
Guthrie took to Instagram with travel updates, saying when she finally arrived in a video clip, "It was worth every minute, every hour and every mile. This is Tokyo. It's after midnight, and we're here!"
The video showed off the Tokyo skyline with the caption, "1.5 hour commute to airport / 3 hours at JFK / 14 hour flight / 2.5 hours at Tokyo airport for COVID test / customs / immigration / 30 min ride to hotel / Worth. Every. Minute. / I ❤️ Tokyo."
Before announcing that she had indeed arrived in the Japanese city, Guthrie posted a pre-travel photo of herself sipping on a beverage and studying from a book.
"Pre flight Olympic studying (with cocktail #Fridaynight) - see you on the other side from Tokyo!!!" she wrote alongside the image reel.
The Summer Olympics were postponed last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, and still, the pandemic continues to keep a tight grip on the Games as spectators have been banned from this year's event.
Just days before the Games are scheduled to begin, Japan has announced it's fourth state of emergency.
Tokyo 2020 President Seiko Hashimoto said on Saturday during a news conference, "I understand that there are still many worrying factors. Organizers must try to make sure that people will understand that these games are safe and secure."
