The Japan Tourism & Local Products Expo has been running for four years, bringing together various regions and private enterprises across Japan, including Hokkaido, Shizuoka Hamamatsu, Nagoya, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, and Kyushu. On-site, they offer a wide range of tourism information. In addition to abundant travel brochures and guides available for free, you can also ask questions directly.
If you’re a Hello Kitty fan, she will make a special appearance at Taipei Main Station on the morning of the 24th for photo opportunities. Visitors must first queue up at booth No. 52, Japan Travel 'RENTALKIMONO VASARA, to get a number. There will be three sessions for number drawing and photo ops on the 24th.
