Since that time, JTB has developed into a global specialist, not only for travel to Japan, but to various destinations. Now the JTB Group is a globally operating group with around 28,000 employees in 196 different companies. JTB itself has become the largest travel organisation in Asia. JTB provides travel services – either directly or indirectly - for more than half of all holidays undertaken in Japan by overseas visitors. JTB’s expertise in providing travellers with an unforgettable experience over and over again is entrusted to the thousands of professionals who specialize in their local markets. They form a bridge between Japan and travellers wordwide. Our Japan specialists are based in London. The team consists of both British and Japanese professionals with extensive knowledge about Japan. They have lived in the country and know it in depth, but also understand the needs and expectations of the UK traveller. This “best of both worlds” is part of the JTB mission to give every traveller a unique journey and to get acquainted with Japan’s unique culture. JTB attaches great importance to long-term relationships with customers and business partners and always strives for the best result: Perfect moments, always! The Japan Tourist Bureau headquarters in 1912. JTB Headquarters in Tokyo source: Japan Travel Bureau Semicentennial History JAPAN Yokoso! Japan is a destination like no other – the unique country not only leaves an unforgettable impression on who visit for the first time, but also ensures that people keep coming back. CENTURIES-OLD TRADITIONS AND MODERN TECHNOLOGY As an archipelago, Japan, with its centuries-old traditions, has developed its own culture, society and way of life. Art and religion show the clear influence of China and Korea, but have been refined and adapted to a unique Japanese pattern. This has ensured that daily activities such as writing, tea drinking and bathing, have become meaningful rituals for Japanese people - or even art forms. Japan is also a forerunner in technology and research in the field of robotics, infrastructure and consumer electronics. It is precisely this contrast between old traditions and modern life and technological development that makes Japan a unique destination. SEASONS Japan has very distinct and characteristic seasons. Spring and autumn are the most pleasant times to visit. And because the country extends so far from north to south there is a wide variation in climate and landscape, from the powder snow of the northern island of Hokkaido in winter, to the subtropical forests and beaches on Kyushu and Okinawa. 6 About Japan JAPANESE CUISINE Japanese food is popular worldwide. But the real Japanese cuisine with fresh ingredients and the best regional specialties can only be tasted in the country itself. Japanese food is not limited to the well-known dishes like sushi, but comes in a whole variety from a bowl of noodles at a simple food stall to a luxurious set-course kaiseki menu in a five-star restaurant. HOSPITALITY Japan is a popular travel destination because the Japanese people offer a warm and hospitality welcome to visitors. Very often, locals who do not speak English will help overseas travellers by walking them all the way to where they want to go. This politeness and goodwill make Japan not only a pleasant country to visit but also one of the safest destinations in the world. ACCOMMODATION Most well-known international hotel chains have properties in Japan, and there are many Japanese hotel chains too, offering accommodation in western-style rooms. But a stay at a ryokan or Japanese inn is an experience not to be missed. Staying at a ryokan is a fascinating way to experience traditional Japanese culture and to escape from the hectic pace of daily life. Stay in a room with tatami mats and sleep on the futon mattress put out on the floor for you in the evening. Your accommodation usually includes Japanese dinner and breakfast. Japan has many areas famous for their onsen (natural hot springs); in those places, many ryokans have hot spring bathing facilities. 7 JAPAN RAIL PASS Affordable and efficient travel through Japan! 8 Japan Rail Pass Unlimited train travel Cheaper than individual tickets Valid on the shinkansen The Japan Rail Pass is ideal for discovering Japan, using the country’s efficient rail network. The nationwide rail pass offers unlimited travel on the Japan Rail (JR) network for 7, 14 or 21 days. Trains in Japan are safe, fast and always on time. Going by train is the most efficient way of travelling: the famous bullet train (shinkansen) connects all major cities and together with other express and local trains, provides a fast and reliable train service throughout the country. PRICE Single train ticket on the following route: Tokyo – Kyoto – Hiroshima – Tokyo Adult Ordinary class tickets ∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙ ¥44,400 7-day Japan Rail Pass ∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙ ¥29,110 DURATION CLASS PRICE Ordinary (2nd) class ¥29,110 7 days Green (1st) class ¥38,880 Ordinary class ¥46,390 14 days Green class ¥62,950 Ordinary class ¥59,350 21 days Green class ¥81,870 REGIONAL PASSES The general Japan Rail Pass can be used on the JR network throughout Japan, but for a short stay in one of the local regions, a regional pass is a good option. JTB is an official point of sale for the full range of Regional Passes including the Kyushu, Hokkaido, Shikoku and Kansai Regional passes.

Be the first of your friends. 49 Tweet 579 Tokyo -- a city hard to describe. But we've given it a shot. By Steve Trautlein, Matt Alt, Hiroko Yoda, Melinda Joe, Andrew Szymanski and W. David Marx. 1. The world's most sophisticated railways With 13 subway lines and more than 100 surface routes run by Japan Railways and other private companies, Tokyo's railway system seems like it was designed to win world records. It's rare to find a location in the metropolitan area that can’t be reached with a train ride and a short walk. Now, if only the government could devise a way to keep middle-aged salarymen from groping women onboard. 2. Sky-high one-upmanship Tokyo Sky Tree. (Tim Hornyak/CNNGo) When officials in Tokyo learned that the new Guangzhou TV & Sightseeing Tower in China would be 610 meters tall -- the same height that was planned for Tokyo Sky Tree, then under construction -- they did what any rational person would do: They added 24 meters to the top of Sky Tree to preserve its claim as the world’s tallest tower. Now complete and scheduled to open in May, the Guinness-certified structure features shops, restaurants and an observation deck that lets you see almost all the way to Guangzhou.

  • James Loves Severus, but Only in Japan. Harry Potter in Japanese and English-Language Fanwork
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Lirias James loves Severus, but only in Japan. Harry Potter in Japanese and English-language fanwork Nele Noppe [email protected] Katholieke Universiteit Leuven J.K. Rowling's wildly popular Harry Potter (1997-2007) novels have sparked an avalanche of fanwork both in Japan and on the English-speaking Internet -shelves and shelves of dôjinshi in Japan, countless pieces of fan fiction online. However, a reader unfamiliar with the boy wizard might be forgiven for assuming that the “fanfics” and dôjinshi in question are based on two different sets of novels altogether. Take fan stories that feature Severus Snape and James Potter, two young men who hate each other with a vengeance in the original books. In fanfic the two do indeed interact mostly through insults and violence. In dôjinshi, however, James Potter spends the better part of nearly every story using every trick in the book to convince the surly Severus Snape into entering a romantic relationship with him -usually with success. Suppose we wished to find out why Japanese Harry Potter fans write apparently outlandish interpretations of these two characters. How would we go about that? Western academia has a considerable head start in the area of fan studies; in Japan, the discipline barely registers. The non- Japanese scholar wishing to study Japanese fans with the help of methodologies developed in Western fan studies, however, immediately runs into a thick brick wall. There is a near-total lack of detailed factual data (as opposed to general observations) about the behavior of Japanese fans, let alone data that is accessible to those without a high-level command of Japanese.

  • The Cultural Dynamic of Doujinshi and Cosplay: Local Anime Fandom in Japan, USA and Europe
    . Volume 10, Issue 1 May 2013 The cultural dynamic of doujinshi and cosplay: Local anime fandom in Japan, USA and Europe Nicolle Lamerichs Maastricht University, Netherlands Abstract: Japanese popular culture unifies fans from different countries and backgrounds. Its rich participatory culture is beyond any other and flourishes around comics (manga), animation (anime), games and music. Japanese storytelling showcases elaborate story worlds whose characters are branded on many products. The sub genres of Japanese pop-culture and the lingua franca of their audiences shape Western fandom. In this article, I scrutinize the global dynamic of manga. I specifically focus on the creation of fan manga (‘doujinshi’) and dress- up (‘cosplay’) as two migratory fan practices. The form and content of fan works, and the organizational structure behind them, varies intensely per country. If manga is an international language and style, where is its international fan identity located? In this article, I explore this uncharted territory through ethnographic views of diverse Western and Japanese fan sites where these creative practices emerge. This ethnographic overview is thus concerned with the heterogeneous make-up and social protocols of anime fandom. Keywords: Anime fandom, doujinshi, cosplay, conventions, ethnography Introduction Japan’s global and exotic identity is historically rooted. In the nineteenth century, Euro- Americans performed their fascination for the island through ‘Orientalism’ in Western impressionist art, Zen gardens and architecture (Napier, 2007; Said, 1978). When World War II penetrated this culturally rich image, the fascination for Japan became more ambivalent, characterized by both fear and curiosity. By now, the country’s global identity, which lingers between East and West, inspires Western corporate businesses, art and media as it represents a mixture of spiritual traditions, strong labour and family morals, as well as an advanced technocapitalist model (Ivy, 1995; Wolferen, 1995).
