Kanto Region
Chiba prefecture, located in Kanto Region, holds Narita International Airport, functioning as a gateway to Japan. Therefore, Tokyo is visited by many overseas tourists as it only takes about an hour from Narita. The access to sightseeing places such as Tokyo Skytree, Sensouji temple in Asakusa, and the national sports hall, Kokugikann, may be quite easy for them. Not only Tokyo but also Yokohama in Kanagawa prefecture has historical places such as China Town and Red Brick Warehouse. Various efforts are being made to call in “Inbound” tourists to Japan. For example, by recording a video of a traditional Japanese culture and uploading a on the Internet, they can promote Japan to anywhere in the world. We have conducted a questionnaire survey on how people serve to “Inbound” tourists both in Tokyo and in Yokohama.
