This is the first time that this scheme has been held in collaboration with the global shopping division of the huge Chinese online travel agency (OTA) Ctrip. The campaign is expected to benefit from the company's information sharing capabilities.

If during the campaign you have any questions you want to ask, but don't speak much Japanese, or you want ask a member of staff about the availability of an item you want to buy, but aren't sure what to say, there is no need to worry. A special helpline (092-687-4963) will be available for tourists who encounter any difficulties, which will offer help and assistance in 14 languages. This means that you can go shopping in the various participating stores with complete peace of mind. (Editorial Dept.: canna)
