3rd My OMOTENASHI Contest

Enjoy Hiroshima with your family and friends from Your Home Country!

What would you like to experience with your family and friends from your home country if they visited Japan? Whether it’s enjoying the famous Sakura (cherry blossom) together or having them attend your graduation ceremony, why not share your ideas with us?

For those who express strong feelings of “OMOTENASHI”* toward their loved ones from their home country, we are offering a reward of up to 100,000 yen after the trip!

“Omotenashi” is a Japanese concept essentially about hospitality. It captures the way in which the hosts pay attention to every detail and anticipate their guests’ needs, aiming for the greatest experience possible for them.
