JCB and TOKYO TOWER Co., Ltd. have partnered to welcome tourists from outside of Japan with this special offer to enrich the experience of visiting Japan for JCB cardmembers outside of Japan, and to welcome many visitors to Japan to Tokyo Tower, which has been the symbol of Tokyo and a familiar face since it opened in 1958, as a “uniquely Japanese” experience.
According to the Japan National Tourism Organization, the number of visitors to Japan has increased, with approximately 1.81 million foreign tourists visiting Japan in March 2023 (66% of the figure in FY2019), of which 72% were from Asian countries after the government’s removal of entry restrictions in October 2022. JCB is actively increasing the number of cardmembers, mainly in East Asia and the ASEAN region, and is continuously developing new services and special offers for JCB cardmembers around the world.
As a Japanese brand with a spirit of hospitality, JCB provides services that enrich JCB cardmembers’ travel experience. Visit “JCB Global,” the official YouTube channel, and the JCB Special Offers website[1] for beneficial campaigns and convenient services in multiple languages.
