InsideJapan Tours establishes tsunami relief fund

InsideJapan Tours (IJT), the specialist for Japan travel, aims to raise £25,000 to support relief efforts in the devastated Tohoku region

InsideJapan Tours is appealing to everyone to support the people of Japan by donating to the Japanese charity, Civic Force, which is working directly with people who have been hardest hit by the Tohoku tsunami.

InsideJapan Tours has been in operation for over ten years and owes a large part of its success to the support of the Japanese people. IJT clients and staff have all been treated to the kindness and hospitality of the Japanese on numerous occasions and now IJT is determined to raise as much money as possible to support the relief fund following the recent disaster.

For those who would like to donate, please follow the link www.justgiving.com/InsideJapan. This link will also be posted on the InsideJapan Tours website, www.insidejapantours.com

InsideJapan Tours continues to monitor the situation in Japan with the help of its staff in Nagoya and Tokyo.
