Japan Travel Fair 2018
This time around, JNTO or the Japan National Tourism Organization, has selected the venue at one of the new shopping malls in Damansara Utama.
Instead, you will see more unique destinations that are not too far from the usual popular places. Train travel is one of the main highlights as they are the best method to move from city to city in Japan.

You can get travel brochures for these interesting places from the main JNTO booth at the travel fair. The main mission is to introduce other regions from around Japan to Malaysians.
If you should already know, most Malaysians have been to Japan, and to the main commercial cities.
This is where contest and performances are conducted. A beautiful photo booth is also located next to the JNTO booth.

This photo booth is where you can wear the Japanese Yukata to take photos against the famous Japanese bamboo wall, which is quite nice.

Fun activities at the fair |
The event itinerary for Japan Travel Fair 2018 |
Visitors to the travel fair can get valuable information from the above companies, and if you still need more information, you can just visit the main JNTO booth or any of the travel agents there.
There are numerous brochures available on various parts of Japan for you to take home and read. They have destinations, food, adventure, Muslim travel and more, and if you have questions, you can always ask the JNTO Malaysia staff.

The Tokyo Metro booth seems to be one of the popular vendors as there is a lot of information for anyone planning to visit Tokyo.
Namely travelling around this metropolis where the daily train passes are the most important item one needs.
And if you fill up their questionnaire, you can get a special gift from them which is quite interesting. Even I filled up a form for that unique souvenir from Tokyo Metro.
As for fun and games, visitors can have the opportunity to meet a real live Pokemon at the Japan Travel Fair 2018. This is only on the selected hours.
But there is a cute Pokemon game where anyone can play to win some cute Pokemon sticker sheets.
You can also find out the previous Japan travel fair in Malaysia as I had visited the event to see what was being promoted. The last event was held at One Utama Shopping Mall in Petaling Jaya.
Overall, the Japan Travel Fair is catered to the people of Petaling Jaya and also from around the other parts of the Klang Valley.
If you are not doing anything this weekend, bring your family, friends or loved ones here as there is much to discover about the other interesting places in Japan.
