KUALA LUMPUR, May 31 (Bernama) -- The Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) has launched a new insider guide to Japan, categorised into seven themes that will motivate tourists.

The themes are Nature, Outdoors, Tradition, Cuisine, Relaxation, Art and Cities, linking to a concept of Wellcation (well being and vacation) which help visitors relieve stress and anxiety arising from ‘new norms’.

According to a statement, the contents also cover various Japanese attractions from culture and cuisine, to up-to-date events, newly-established sightseeing spots and recent travel trends.

One example is travel by luxury train in the Kyushu area. The train itself is a jewel box on wheels and is serviced by white gloved-staff providing guests with delicious cuisines ranging from Japanese to Italian-style dishes prepared by local restaurants using select local foods.

There are also stops along the way to allow guests to visit tourist sites and shops for local artisanal products.

Visiting Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan in Osaka Prefecture may be another way to unwind from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Nintendo’s first foray into the world of theme parks is designed as an interactive game with visitors able to purchase a smartphone-linked Power Up Band upon entry, enabling them to collect virtual coins and play against enemy characters.

For those who need spiritual relaxation, the sacred route, ‘a modern pilgrimage in Shikoku’, may be the perfect thing to do.

The sacred route, which spans a 1,200-kilometre loop, cuts a picturesque path through the natural landscape of Shikoku and takes in rugged mountains, forests and villages along the way.
