Attending the Shinjuku Convention & Visitors Bureau's Annual General Meeting and 10th Anniversary Celebration

Shinjuku Convention & Visitors Bureau Hosts 10th Anniversary Celebration

On Tuesday, June 4th, the 11th Annual General Meeting and the 10th Anniversary Celebration of the Shinjuku Convention & Visitors Bureau were held at Keio Plaza Hotel. I attended as a member of the Shinjuku Convention & Visitors Bureau.

The 10th Anniversary Celebration was a great success, with over 200 participants. Many distinguished guests were invited, including the current Shinjuku Mayor, Kenichi Yoshizumi, and former Shinjuku Mayor, Hiroko Nakayama, who gave speeches. The large number of participants and the lively atmosphere made me realize the strength of Shinjuku. As a resident of Shinjuku and with our company based in Shinjuku, I felt very proud.

Our company’s traditional cultural experience tour, "Kagurazaka Refined Wander: Cultural Awakening Around Every Bend," in Shinjuku, was introduced not only by the Shinjuku Convention & Visitors Bureau but also by Mayor Yoshizumi as one of the highlights of Shinjuku tourism. As a travel agency promoting these traditional cultural experience tours supported by the entire Shinjuku area, I felt a renewed sense of responsibility.

Recruit's New Website 'Ah! MAZE! SHINJUKU' Features Our Traditional Cultural Experience Tour

Additionally, the website "Ah! MAZE! SHINJUKU," managed by Recruit Co., Ltd. and entrusted by the Shinjuku Convention & Visitors Bureau as part of the "Shinjuku Attraction Development and Tourism Revitalization Project," was also unveiled. This website features the traditional cultural experience tour "Kagurazaka Refined Wander" as part of the content developed by the Shinjuku Attraction Creation Council. I am very grateful for these various forms of support.

The 10th Anniversary Celebration also saw the participation of Kagurazaka Geisha. Watching their elegant dance, music, and singing, I was once again reminded of their incredible talent. Our company's experience tours also offer various banquets featuring Kagurazaka Geisha.

Finally, I received a castella cake with the new "Shinjuku Tourism" logo as a souvenir. As Shinjuku tourism continues to thrive, we aim to contribute in any way we can. We appreciate your continued support.
