WaWo Japan Travel Launches New Platform for Global Tourists to Explore Local Japan with Personalized Tours Focused on Unique Cultural Experiences

Published on November 14, 2024

Japan’s popularity as a travel destination continues to soar, Traveler ranking it as the number one country on its “Best Countries in the World” list for two consecutive years. While iconic cities like Tokyo and Kyoto have drawn significant attention, there is an increasing demand for authentic and immersive experiences in Japan’s local regions. To meet this demand, WaWo Japan Travel has unveiled its newly launched tour site, offering hand-crafted tours that introduce visitors to the hidden gems of Japan.

WaWo Japan Travel, renowned for its long-standing collaboration with local organizations, has used its expertise in arranging tours for overseas travel agencies to develop original tours tailored to offer genuine experiences outside the typical tourist hotspots. The newly launched site offers a selection of sample tours, which can be customized to meet individual preferences, as well as original shared tours that follow suggested routes. Each tour is led by experienced guide-interpreters who ensure a deeper connection with local culture and provide insightful commentary throughout the journey.

One of the standout experiences available on WaWo Japan Tours is the “Shimane Highlights Tour – The Home of Gods, Myth & Samurai Steel.” This immersive tour focuses on Shimane Prefecture, a region rich in history and myth, where guests can witness a traditional kagura performance. This elaborate and visually striking performance, with its intricate costumes and stage props, is performed alongside local residents, allowing travelers to intimately engage with the region’s unique cultural heritage. The tour is a direct result of WaWo’s extensive partnerships with local agencies, ensuring a truly authentic and one-of-a-kind experience in Shimane.

In addition to its curated tours, the site also features articles written by WaWo’s team of consultants, who bring a wealth of personal insights to each destination. These consultants, all of whom hail from outside Japan, share their unique perspectives on lesser-known destinations in Japan. The articles, which provide a rich narrative of local destinations, are based on WaWo’s deep involvement with communities across Japan. Recent stories include feature articles on Shimane Prefecture and Imizu in Toyama Prefecture.

WaWo Japan Travel continues to fulfill its mission of sharing the local charms of Japan with the world, providing travelers with an opportunity to explore Japan’s hidden treasures through its thoughtfully crafted tours and articles.
