We are considering private packages that meet the needs of wealthy visitors, such as a luxurious accommodation experience with an emphasis on privacy. We provide luxury travel for the wealthy by offering exclusive services such as transportation from villas and resorts, special dining experiences, and VIP access. We will proceed with development in collaboration with Yamanashi Prefecture in order to widely communicate Yamanashi Prefecture’s appeal to wealthy people through tourism promotion and marketing activities.
