Working closely with the Kyoto City Tourist Board,
Visa found that many inbound travelers to Kyoto seek to experience the city’s
historical attraction. The special Four Seasons in Kyoto starting with the
cherry blossom festival this March, will enable Visa cardholders to experience
Kyoto in all four seasons this year.
Cherry blossoms are forecasted to bloom around
March 24 in Kyoto, according to the latest cherry blossom forecast released by
the Japan Meteorological Corporation.[1] Visa has partnered with Voyagin, a well-known
online travel reservation platform, to launch the Kyoto City Visa Offer. The
offers comprise a series of distinctive travel experiences in the ancient
capital including a half day tour to explore Sanzenin Temple, Raigoin Temple,
and Hosenin Temple. The experiential offers also include Kyoto obanzai and
nabemono traditional Japanese cooking class and kiyomizu ware pottery making
experience at Kyoto Unraku-gama. All Visa cardholders are entitled to a discount
when purchasing the Kyoto package tours and activities on Voyagin. They can also
enjoy discount offers on EBISUYA Rickshaw’s Special plan “Kyoto Arashiyama tour”
while enjoying breathtaking cherry blossom views.
Visa has collaborated with tastetrip, an online
restaurant reservation platform in Japan, where gourmands can experience special
privileges when dining at one of the participating restaurants. Visa
cardholders are offered discounts on dining reservations at over 800 local
restaurants including “Kyoto Kitcho Arashiyama”, a Michelin-starred Japanese kaiseki
cuisine, and the famous yudofu restaurant “Nanzenji Junsei”.
Visa also partners with popular retailers including
BIC Camera, Kojima and Matsumoto Kiyoshi to provide exclusive shopping
privileges for Taiwan cardholders.
