Take our user survey and make your voice heard.
Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) conducted a social media campaign aimed at foreigners currently living, or have had experience of living in Japan, titled #MyOwnPersonalJapan SNS Posting Campaign, from Oct 19 to Dec 6, 2020. Participants were asked to post recommended memorable tourism spots along with their personal memories regarding the experience to social media. The campaign drew over 2,500 posts.
Although it is currently difficult to freely travel due to the pandemic, JNTO said it believes these posts have led to more yearning for travel to Japan.
Ten winners were chosen. JNTO said the decision was made through evaluation and discussion with third party experts on whether the images and/or videos as well as the caption convey a story, uniqueness and a degree of attractiveness.
