Japan remains as one of the most favorite countries visited by Filipinos. Though I always hear woes about getting a visa, this is never a hindrance to a lot of our fellow kababayans. Last Thursday, I was able to join the press launching of Tokyo Metro together with media and fellow bloggers. I learned quite a few about it being the first established in the continent of Asia. If you are or you know anyone going to Tokyo, I definitely recommend taking the Tokyo train stations!
In 2016, an increase of 347, 800 Filipinos were able to see the Land of Cherry Blossoms. That is almost 30% increase compared to the previous year. That is why it is just right that this coming Travel Tour Expo at SMX on February 9-12 we should see more push to travel to Japan. That's the main reason why Tokyo Metro, the one behind running the capital of Japan's subways and railways is in the country to promote it as the best way to get around fastest in Tokyo to Filipino tourists.
Using Tokyo Metro isn't only about efficiency because these stations are already connections to many of Tokyo's tourist attractions including Ginza, Omotesando, Asakusa, Shibuya, Shinjuku and Ikebukuro. No need to go far or take another expensive cab ride. Just a few walks and you'll be finding another a great spot that showcases Japan's beautiful scenery.
