Tokyo (Japan), Oct 22 (ANI): With tourism coming to a standstill during the pandemic, Japan's tourism industry was no exception. After a four-year hiatus, the "Tourism Expo Japan 2022" was held in Tokyo with the motive of reviving tourism in the country. At the expo, major players from the tourism industry, along with Japanese authorities, set up booths and invited tourists to the country. Okinawa is a popular tourist destination. Tourists visit Okinawa to see the beautiful ocean, and mountains, and to taste unique food. Okinawa Prefecture is promoting "Okinawa Karate" as a new way to attract tourists while they spread awareness regarding the origin of Karate in Okinawa. In addition, Okinawa Prefecture is promoting "workcation," combining work and vacation. Teleworking job style accelerates moving to the countryside to enjoy the rural atmosphere and work. It is the change of lifestyle that derives from the coronavirus pandemic. Hokkaido is also popular among tourists from Southeast Asia. The local government, Noboribetsu Toya, is trying to attract more tourists by promoting "Upopoi," a museum that allows visitors to experience its nature and Ainu culture. The Ainu have a long history of living in Hokkaido. Japan has significantly eased entry from foreign countries due to the reduction of coronavirus cases.
