Strengthening provision of information for foreign tourists by approaching typhoon Government Oct. 11 6:45
In response to the approach of Typhoon No.19, the government will provide information such as weather information and transportation operation status, such as providing a telephone window and a dedicated app that will provide consultation in foreign languages so that foreign tourists can spend time with peace of mind. I will give it to you.
As the number of foreign tourists continues to increase, last year's typhoons and earthquakes made it difficult to provide information in the event of a disaster, such as being left behind at the airport or being stuck at the destination.
In this typhoon No.19, many foreigners are visiting Japan during the Rugby World Cup, and there are plans to cancel flights and railway suspensions.
For this reason, the government has a policy to deal with related ministries and agencies based on the measures compiled in the wake of the series of disasters last year. In addition, the call center of the Japanese National Tourism Bureau will be available for consultation 24 hours a day in English, Chinese and Korean.
In addition, information on weather and evacuation centers is transmitted through mobile phone apps and SNS, and emergency power sources and mobile phone chargers are installed at tourist information centers in various locations.
Secretary of the Secretary of the Secretariat said, “I want to make sure that foreign tourists can spend their time with peace of mind by taking thorough measures.”
The telephone number of the Japan National Tourism Organization call center is 050-3816-2787.
