The Yokohama Convention and Visitors Bureau today announced that it has compiled a Thai-language version of the "Yokohama Official Visitors' Guide" website to help Thai tourists enjoy Yokohama.
In a statement, it said the version (http://www.yokohamajapan.com/th/) followed a sharp increase in the number of Thai tourists to the country last year.
In 2014, the number of Thai people who visited Japan grew 45 per cent from the previous year to more than 650,000, according to Japan National Tourist Organisation. The city of Yokohama also witnessed a sharp increase in the number of visitors.
"By introducing the attractions of Yokohama in the Thai language, the bureau aims to have Thai guests spend their time in Yokohama more comfortably," the bureau said.
Last year, the bureau published a Thai-language version of the official guide map in 2014. The free map includes a list of popular tourist attractions and access information.
