My name is Rafael Alves, known as Shinzo. I created the AnimeNew website in 2009 to offer news about anime, manga, and games directly from Japan.

Traveling in Japan has become much cheaper thanks to a new initiative from Kagoshima . The local government announced it will pay for bullet train for international visitors. This way, tourists save approximately 11,500 yen on the journey between Hakata and Kagoshima-Chuo.

Currently, the south of the country is facing low hotel occupancy rates following the pandemic. Therefore, Governor Koichi Shiota decided to subsidize 100% of one-way tickets on the Kyushu Shinkansen . This fast route connects popular destinations like Fukuoka to the southernmost tip of the island. Meanwhile, famous cities like Tokyo are suffering from an excess of visitors.

Take the opportunity to visit the active Sakurajima volcano and the famous hot sand baths. Furthermore, the region is the perfect setting for those seeking the aesthetics of rural and tranquil anime. However, the promotion initially focuses on Asian tourists, with immediate plans for expansion to other countries. Therefore, get your passport ready to secure this exclusive benefit on your next otaku adventure .
