Saudis Show Admiration to Japanese Event in the Heart of Riyadh

Saudi travelers have attended the first event of the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) in Riyadh enjoying various tourism offerings and attractions.

Themed “FEEL YOUR FOUR SEASONS,” the event provided visitors with a brief introduction to Japan’s various seasonal attractions, such as different luxury travel experiences available across the Japanese regions.

The occasion took place on December 6 and 7, boasting two domes showcasing Japan’s spring and autumn landscapes, along with exhibitions introducing delicacies, activities and travel content specific to each season.

“We are honored to have hosted our very first consumer event in Riyadh at such a meaningful time, as we approach the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Japan and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 2025,” Daisuke Kobayashi, Executive Director of the JNTO’s office in Dubai.

As the Kingdom is currently preparing to host Expo 2030 in Riyadh, the event also highlighted the participation of the Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau, representing Osaka, the host city of Expo 2025.

In addition, it featured the attendance of 2,000 guests, including local consumers, media representatives, and influencers.

It is worth mentioning that the first half of 2024 marked a surge of 72.2% in visitors from Saudi Arabia to Japan, in comparison to the same period in 2023, according to Kobayashi.
