The Japanese government wants to make Kyushu more accessible – and ANA–JR Kyushu's partnership goes in line with the governmental tourism strategy that aims to publicize destinations outside of already well-known tourism hot spots.
ANA has recently launched a special tourism page in their Japan Travel Planner that lists all of Kyushu's main tourist attractions and features a guide for reaching them by rail. The Japan Travel Planner is a tourist website that supports several languages and provides information to both seasoned travellers and first time visitors. It helps overseas visitors to make an easier dive into the Japanese culture and plan their trip more efficiently.
"ANA strives to make sure that it is as convenient as possible for travelers to reach destinations across the entire country," said Seiichi Takahashi, Senior Vice President of ANA. "Kyushu is celebrated for its natural beauty, unique cuisine and distinct culture, all of which deserved to be experienced by global and domestic travelers alike. ANA believes that service and hospitality are integral to our mission, and that taking care of passengers after they have touched down is just as important as their in-flight experience."
