　ANA Akindo Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Seiichi Takahashi, headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo), ANA X Inc. (President and CEO: Shinichi Inoue, headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo) and Kumamoto City (Mayor: Kazufumi Onishi) are launching the Remote Work Supporting City Kumamoto Online Tour (with ANA cabin attendant) – “Work, Play and Rest! Come home to Kumamoto Castle” at 14:00 on November 19. The package aims to promote “remote workations (working vacations)” in user-friendly Kumamato, a city where a visitor can work, rest and play within a 2km radius of the city center.

This online tour will showcase all that Kumamoto has to offer as a remote workation destination and comes with Enjoy Kumamoto Yokatoko Coupons (1), which were released on November 5 as part of the ANA Traveler’s Dynamic Package (2) Kumamoto Workation Plan and the new menu of the ANA Traveler’s Play and Experiences service (3).

　Five years have passed since the Kumamoto earthquakes and the main keep, or tower, of Kumamoto Castle has been restored. The downtown area adjacent to the castle is now known as “Kumamoto remote work supporting city”, offering everything needed for work, rest and play in a compact area. Find out about it together with your tour guides, an ANA cabin attendant and the Kumamoto-jo Omotenashi Bushotai  (“Kumamoto Castle hospitality samurai troupe”). You can enjoy communication with the locals thanks to a question corner using the Zoom Q&A function. What’s more, you will receive a gift if you answer the survey.

　Once you have experienced Work, Rest and Play online, please come down to Kumamoto to see it for yourself!
