#MyOwnPersonalJapan SNS posting campaign for foreign nationals living in Japan

To all foreign nationals living in Japan. Don’t you feel frustrated that you can’t just freely go on a trip? Some of you may be thinking “I can’t meet my families back home...” or “My friends planned to come and meet me in Japan but now it’s cancelled...” To feed that longing for travel, and to reawaken that feeling of excitement that your families and friends had, why don’t you share your past travel experiences and places you want your friends to visit with us?

To double your families and friends’ excitement to travel to Japan after restrictions for the pandemic are eased, JNTO is holding a social media campaign with the theme of “#MyOwnPersonalJapan” where you can share your personal experiences of Japan’s charms on social media. For the winners, JNTO has prepared the perfect gifts to accompany you on your next trip in Japan.

The theme for the social media post will be “My own personal Japan; scenery to see and things to experience with your loved ones.” Share the scenery you wish to revisit and activities you wish to re-experience along with photos and/or videos you took during the trip to Instagram and/or Facebook and have a chance to win some prizes.
