Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi and foreign ambassadors from nine countries visited Okayama Prefecture on Sunday as part of efforts to promote regional cities.
It is hoped the visit — which included diplomats from the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy — will help attract foreign visitors following Japan’s easing of COVID-19-related border control measures.
Hayashi and the ambassadors strolled around Kurashiki City’s historical quarter, known for its streets lined with white-walled traditional warehouses.
Hayashi requested that the ambassadors share their experiences via social media.
