The Japan National Tourism Organisation (JNTO) has launched a new e-learning platform for travel agents which is designed to aid training and development across a growing product base. The portal delivers a complete suite of online training and engagement tools using the latest principles in e-learning, ensuring learners gain and retain knowledge in an “enjoyable, engaging and more effective way”.

The e-platform uses varied modules to guide agents through all aspects of Japan, highlighting key information about each region and location.

Each course allows users to explore and learn about a variety of Japanese food, lifestyle, traditions, landscapes, sightseeing spots, and view the country’s futuristic cities.

There are a total of five courses, beginning with an introduction to Japan, with additional courses to be unlocked upon completion of the first course.

The training modules also highlight The Golden Route as it is the most popular route for the UK travellers visiting Tokyo, Hakone, and Kyoto.
