Appeal of tourist destinations to Russian travel agencies Yamaguchi Nagato February 20, 19:26

In Nagato City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, where the Japan-Russia Summit was held in 2016, a tour is being held to appeal to Russian travel agencies about the appeal of tourist destinations.

This tour was planned by Nagato City in cooperation with Shimonoseki City, and nine people in charge of Japanese from a Russian travel company participated in this tour, aiming for visitors from Russia to Tokyo and Kyoto to go to Yamaguchi Prefecture.

On the 20th, the group toured a tourist spot such as a shrine and a hot spring town with a guide from a Russian woman serving as a "local revitalization cooperation member" in Nagato City.
I was taking pictures on the rocky shores of the coast and going through the red-painted torii gates to check out what appeal to Russian tourists.

A tour organizer at a Russian travel agency said, "It's a modern place with a history and an attractive place." The woman who organized the tour also said, "I think fresh fish can be eaten in a quiet place and the wealthy will like it."

The tour will end on the 23rd of this month, and we will visit Shimonoseki City on the 21st.
