New Tour Highlights for 2023
1. The new “Rainbow Route to Tokyo, Kanazawa, and Kyoto” for international visitors.
Ahead of the extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen between Kanazawa and Tsuruga stations around March 2024, we have planned a new inbound route “Rainbow Route to Tokyo, Kanazawa, and Kyoto” product that travels round trip from Tokyo area to Kansai area (Kyoto/Osaka) via Hokuriku area (Kanazawa). This route is highly anticipated with regard to the creation of inbound tourism flow to the Hokuriku area and the development of the tourism economy in the Hokuriku region.
2. Small-group “hands-on, private tours” to meet the demands of the times.
For repeat visitors to Japan, we will launch small-group “experience-type private tours” with a focus on experiential consumption. Specifically, “adventure tourism” products that incorporate “activities,” “nature,”
and “cultural experiences,” which have become increasingly popular in recent years, are one example. In November, we also plan to release “Countryside Stays” plans that incorporate agricultural experiences, traditional crafts, interaction with local people, and accommodations in traditional Japanese-style houses.
