Unique Japan Tours Official Launch

Unique Japan Tours was officially launched on February 17th with guest speakers Hideki Tomioka (JNTO London) and Ambassador Toshinao Urabe (Japanese Embassy in Ireland) there to mark this exciting occasion.

Since 2006, tours to Japan traded under Japan Ireland Travel - specialists in travel to and from Japan and Ireland. After four years of steady growth, Darina and her husband Masaki decided to re-brand their Japan tours to 'Unique Japan Tours' (UJT) to appeal to a broader (English speaking) audience. Japan Ireland Travel is still operating their inbound business bringing Japanese tourists into Ireland.

The evening began with a sake reception followed by an all-you-can-eat sushi  buffet, at one of Dublin's Karaoke and Sake Wine Bars, Ukiyo. Those who attended were a mix of travel trade, media partners, Embassy colleagues and friends of both Japan Ireland Travel and Unique Japan Tours. 

Guest speakers on the night included the Japanese Ambassador in Ireland, Toshinao Urabe, who gave an interesting talk on Japan's tourism industry and the importance tourism plays in Japan's economy; Tomioka Hideki from the Japanese National Tourist Office in London who highlighted the must see places to visit when you go to Japan; followed by Darina Nakagawa's presentation on Unique Japan Tours - the story behind it and the products and services they now offer.
