Personal tours of Osaka and nine other Japanese cities for international meeting and event planners

The Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) has created a series of video tours of cities across Japan who are capable of providing unique experiences and services for organizers of meetings and events from around the world. This Virtual Visit series includes Osaka as well as Chiba, Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Kiyakyushu, Nara, Okayama, Otsu, Sendai, and Yokohama. Each video features a local expert giving a personal tour in English of the city’s primary facilities and unique venues.

The Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau (OCTB) collaborated with the JNTO to create the Osaka video, which emphasizes the city’s convention facilities, luxurious accommodations, and the uniquely Osaka venues that make events memorable. The video also provides an overview on the upcoming World Expo 2025 in Osaka, Kansai, for which Osaka is eagerly preparing, making this video a valuable tool for meeting and event planners interested in choosing Japan and Osaka as their next event destination.
