Is it still more or less socially expected to wear a face mask everywhere, even outside? My wife and I are interested to return to Japan, but it won't feel like much of a vacation if we have to be masked 16 hours per day.

I'm currently in Tokyo on holidays. Everywhere I've visited (Hakone, Nikko, Kamakura, Fujiyoshida), everyone is wearing masks both inside and outside. The only times I take my mask off are when I'm eating, drinking or in my hotel room.
The only people I have seen that aren't wearing masks outside are foreigners. This is only a subset of people visiting. Most tourists also wear masks outside.
