LATEST TRAVEL TIPS + OUR NEW BUSINESS
1: INTRODUCTION OF ACTIVITY:
--- HORSE RIDING (PART. 01) ---
In these day, where big crowds and confined places cause discomfort to so many people, there has been a new trend surfacing in Japan.
Horse riding along beautiful beaches and in stunning forests has given people the opportunity to escape bustling noises of the city and reconnect with nature in a very special way. With horse stables offering their services all around Japan, customers have the chance to experience horse riding from the beaches of Okinawa to the frosty planes of Hokkaido.
When people think of Japanese culture, the standards like Sushi and Samurai come to mind straight away, but what many people do not know, is that “breathing air” and experiencing the world outside is also an inherent part of Japanese culture.
Not only can you keep to the rules of social distancing on the back of a horse, the natural equine survival characteristics of horses have long been speculated to have healing abilities towards the human psyche. Therefore horse riding is not just good for the body, but also for the soul.
These small optional tours are highly recommended for small groups of clients with a slightly higher budget, since the number of horses are rather limited and their meticulous training takes a lot of time and resources.
In the next newsletter we will tell you about a first-hand experience with horse riding in Chiba prefecture, so stay tuned.
2: OUR NEW BUSINESS:
---PHOTOCATALYST (Vol. 02) ---
We, Hankyu Travel DMC Japan, have just started to work on a photocatalyst coating construction service as a new business. We believe that this business may contribute to creating a safe and secure environment for both travelers who go on a trip and our suppliers who welcome those.
Photocatalytic coating is one of the countermeasures against infectious diseases in which titanium oxide, which is a raw material, reacts with sunlight or even with indoor light, to oxidize organic substances, such as viruses and germs, and neutralize them.
We propose this business mainly to our suppliers, such as transportation, hotels, restaurants, etc. For sales promotions & making offers on this business, we are working by ourselves, mostly by managers. Moreover, the construction on site will be done by trained employees from our department.
At the beginning, we have tried doorknobs, inside the toilet, buttons on elevators, & etc. in our offices, as well as our owned luxury bus in order to gain construction experience and to improve our skills.
We will do our best every day, hoping that a safe & a secure environment should be set up quickly in this business industry and that travel can be resumed.

Since then, we have trained more and had more construction experiences at:
- restrooms in one of the most major baseball field in Japan.
- nap rooms for crews in stations of one of the famous private railway companies in Kansai Area, such as
in Kyoto, Osaka, & Kobe.
- nursery schools in Kyushu Island and in Kansai Area.
- commuter ships and the company’s office in Northern Japan.
- a clinic in Tokyo.
Finally, some of us have been appointed as a “Certified Contractor” after engaged in the construction more than 50 hours. With such more experiences and sales promotion, we are expanding this business.
Moreover, we have just received very good news. Though the solvent was said to be effective in inactivating Covid-19, it was actually proved it by the experiment of Nara Medical University.
As informed before, much safer and more secured travels in Japan is our motto at this moment. We hope that we would like to welcome your tours with more participants under the better situation in near future.
