For Vietnamese visitors, Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto are still the most attractive cities for Vietnamese travellers. The country's massive architectural works, beautiful natural landscapes, and the harmony between traditional and modern features have left many impressions on visitors.

In addition, other regions and destinations in Japan possess their beauty, promising to bring diverse experiences for international guests.

The JNTO in Vietnam launched a campaign to promote Japanese tourism in 2024, with the theme of “Japan - local experiences, diverse discoveries", providing information related to the diversity and richness of Japan's destinations and travel experiences.
