Website relaunched with easy-to-understand guidance for travel in Japan (sightseeing and transport)
Official Facebook page opened simultaneously!
On January 18 (Friday), 2013, Odakyu Electric Railway Co., Ltd. (owner of lines in the Shinjuku, Hakone and Enoshima/Kamakura areas, where tourists can fully enjoy the charms of Japan) will reopen its foreign-language sightseeing website (http://www.odakyu.jp/global_site/) supporting four different languages (English, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese).
Based on the concept of "ODAKYU HAS A JAPAN", the website enhances enjoyment of travel by displaying pages that are relevant to visitors before and during their visits to Japan.
Pre-visit information is provided with a focus on the appeal of the sightseeing areas, including "area movies" giving digests of attractions in Shinjuku, Hakone and Enoshima/Kamakura, "model courses" for full enjoyment of the sightseeing areas, and "feature contents" with hot spring and seasonal recommendations. In addition, during visitors' stays, the website provides a wealth of guidance to ease any travel-related concerns, including a "Guide to using the train" that covers everything from ticket purchases through to train riding etiquette, and an "Access guide" to help foreign visitors navigate complex transfers within the Shinjuku Station building.
