TORONTO — Goway has refurbished its Japan travel packages to meet increased demand following the country’s full reopening and elimination of Visa restrictions for travellers from Canada and the United States last month.

The news comes on the heels of a Goway member’s recent trip to Japan. Aren Bergstrom, Head of Content & Communications, recently returned from a six-day visit that was hosted by the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO). During his trip, he enjoyed exclusive accommodations in Tokyo, Shikoku and the islands of the Seto Inland Sea, and also took part in a wide array of exciting activities, including cycling the Shimanami Kaido cycling route along Japan’s famous suspension bridge system.

Upon his return, Bergstrom provided Goway’s sales and product teams with updated information on travel experiences in Japan, as well as insight into the latest trends within the country.

“It was a delight to return to Japan and experience a taste of its wonders, which have been sorely missed throughout the pandemic,” said Bergstrom. “Japan is capable of satisfying so many diverse traveller interests. Whether you’re looking to sample cutting-edge haute cuisine, enjoy a restful stay amidst peaceful natural surroundings, or experience the excitement of some of the world’s biggest cities, you’ll find so much to fascinate you within its borders.”

Goway’s refreshed travel packages to Japan include the 10-day Japan Zen & Wellness and 11-day Japan for Families. The company has also launched additional luxury tours throughout the nation, including the 15-day Ultimate Japan, which includes deluxe hotels, unforgettable ryokan stays, and private-guided experiences in Tokyo, Kanazawa, Kyoto, Hiroshima, and Osaka.

“We’re thrilled that Japan has fully reopened and to once again help our globetrotters experience its cultural delights and natural wonders for themselves,” says Brittany Banks, Product Manager for Asia. “Japan is at the core of our travel products to Asia, and we expect it to be one of our most popular destinations in 2023 and beyond.”

Goway will be showcasing its wide variety of Japanese travel products at the Rediscover Japan Virtual Travel Expo on November 24, 2022. During this exhibition, Goway will present highlights from some of its over 20 fully-customizable travel packages to Japan, which include a variety of deluxe and private-guided experiences, as well as combination stays in Japan and South Korea.
