The Singapore Office of the Japan National Tourism Organisation (JNTO) is offering three fully funded and supervised tours to Hokkaido, Hiroshima, and San’in.
These tours are sponsored by Japan by Japan (JbyJ), the official community website of JNTO’s Singapore Office.
The design of these three tours will be carried out by participants and representatives from JbyJ.
The theme of the trip is centered around celebrating a loved one’s birthday in Japan, allowing participants to create an itinerary based on this theme.
All expenses related to the trip, including airfare, accommodation, transportation, and meals mentioned in the itinerary, will be covered by JbyJ.
Scenic locations
The first tour is scheduled for September 3 to 8, 2023, specifically targeting a family of up to four members, with a maximum of two children aged 11 and above. The focus of this tour will be exploring eastern Hokkaido.
Hokkaido Airports Co. Ltd, Hiroshima Tourism Association, and San’in Tourism Organisation are also supporting and sponsoring this tour.
The second tour, taking place in November 2023, will allow a couple to explore Hiroshima and San’in. The tour will include visits to Iwami-Ginzan, Onomichi, Fukuyama, and other featured locations.
JbyJ staff members, along with a photographer or videographer, will accompany the tours.
Application process
Anyone can apply for consideration; however, this experience is only open to residents of Singapore, and at least one member of the group must be a Singapore citizen.
Participants of the tour must agree to have their photos and videos taken, which will be utilized for social media, advertisements, and promotional materials promoting Japan.
The application period will run from June 2 to 18, 2023, and interested applicants need to register as JbyJ members.
Applicants are also required to create a 3-minute video explaining why they should be chosen for the sponsored trip and submit it to JbyJ.
Shortlisted candidates will be contacted for an online or in-person interview before the final selection process.
