Japan-based inbound tourism media site “tsunagu Japan” has been revamped, with 2 additional languages and a simpler interface.

Japan-based inbound tourism media site “tsunagu Japan,” operated by D2C X Inc. (Location: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Ryo Hagiwara; hereafter “D2C X”), has been renewed! In addition to adding two new languages (Korean and Vietnamese), we have made several improvements to the site for smartphone users, including revamping the website navigation, in order to make it easier for them to find relevant information. Furthermore, we added a clip function that allows users to save their favorite articles! Overall, the site has become even easier and simpler to use.

tsunagu Japan is an inbound tourism media site that publishes information about Japan in multiple languages. It is available in English, Chinese (traditional and simplified), and Thai. Each language has native editorial staff who are deeply knowledgeable about their culture and curate the site’s content and social media platforms to best meet the needs of readers from their country. You’ll find info on recommended restaurants, souvenirs, tourist spots, and so on, all written from a non-Japanese perspective. By adding Korean and Vietnamese to the list of available languages, we will be able to provide our services to Korean tourists, who make up approximately 1/4 of foreign visitors to Japan, as well as to Vietnamese tourists, whose numbers have been increasing considerably in recent years (*1).

Aiming to provide more convenient and easy-to-use services, tsunagu Japan will further strive to increase the number of available languages, strengthen its content, and improve its UI. In the future, we hope to implement functions that will further improve our readers’ travel experiences in Japan, such as being able to reserve hotels, restaurants, and cultural experiences directly from the tsunagu Japan website.
