Tokyo Overview –
Tokyo is located to the East of Japan which is
shown on the map to the left. Tokyo is a city
which population reaches 37,468,303 in 2018
(world population review, n.d), meaning this is
the largest population in a city.
Tokyo past events and the
Type of Clients
Although there is little information on experience of
past events and the success rate of Tokyo dealing
(Google images, n.d)
with them, there is set to be a world heart congress in 2019 starting
from the 6th of May and ending on the 8th. The conference is to
explore the latest technologies, it also provides a ‘platform for cardiologists, cardiac surgeons,
medical practitioners, researchers and clinical research organisations. (Heart World Congress,
n.d, no author).
I could not find any information on the hotel regarding the amount of conferences are held
and how successful they have been. Although after contacting emailed the hotel, they said
they had no information besides another email to contact which then I received a reply
informing me that the information is confidential. I also looked for numbers of business
travellers to Tokyo and found little information on websites such as Statista.
Tokyo is a known as a business district due to the various
business buildings and vast amount of business visitors each
year for conferences and meetings, this can be seen in the
graph to the right. It shows the number of international
conferences in Japan and Tokyo. There are a vast number of
conferences in 2019 which include; Education and training
conferences, scientific conferences and medical conferences.

Visitor Activities
Tokyo offers a variety of choice of things to do which includes; shopping, culture, dining
experiences and entertainment. (Japan guide, 2018). Some examples are shown below:
• Shopping locations - Shinjuku ‘the
largest shopping and entertainment
district’ as written in Tokyo's
shopping guide from Japan-
Guide.com in 2018. Shinjuku is home
to department stores and various
boutiques. On the other Hand Ginza,
is for the upmarket shoppers with
high end shops, art galleries and
electronics stores such as Apple.
(Japan-Guide.com, 2018).

activities. These can differ due to the
climate of the country, because many
activities might be suitable at
different points of the year. A season
that most visitors avoid is the rainy
season which starts beginning of June
to mid-July, this is so they can plan
their outdoor holidays before arriving
to Japan (JNTO Organisation, 2018).
• Tokyo Imperial Palace - The Imperial
Palace is located on a site within
Tokyo, which is called Edo Castle. The
area of the imperial palace is
surrounded by tall moats and stone
walls. This historic site is a short walk
from the main railways station in
Tokyo. The Imperial Palace has been
voted fifteenth most visited place in
Tokyo and it was built in the fifteenth
century by Japanese people. With
this attraction tourists can discover
the history of Tokyo (Japan Guide,
2018).
go on two different observation
decks at the top of the building,
which gives great views of the city of
Tokyo (Japan Guide, 2018). The
bottom of Tokyo Sky tree is home to
Tokyo Solamachi which is a complex
containing shops and restaurants.
(Japan-Guide.com, 2018).
• Tsukiji Fish Market - This is a very
popular place for tourists, as this is an
outer fish market. The whole market
consists of a couple of blocks of
wholesale and there after retail
shops, as well as restaurants. In this

Overall Visitors –
To the Right the graph shows the overall visitors that went to
Japan till the October 2018 which was 2,640,600 visits and it also
shows the months and how many visitors when there.
(Japan National Tourism Organization, n.d).
Visitor Spend
Cards, Cash and ATM’s
In Japan, the currency is measured in ‘Yen’. It has been said that
Japan is a cash-based society, although bank cards are getting very
popular, tourists that visit Japan shouldn’t assume success with the bank cards outside of any
major cities. When tourist travel to Japan, they’re mostly shocked to find that the local public
carry around large amounts of cash. In the country of Japan, it is not uncommon to carry
thousands in your wallet. Many of the tourists adopt these practises, due to a lot of shops in
Japan not accepting credit or debit cards. With addition to this, many monthly payments, such
as flat rent, is paid with cash only (Just Landed, 2018).
Currency Exchange
The currency exchange is normally handled by banks, post offices, larger hotels and other
handful changers which are normally found at International airports. When tourist visit Japan,
it is always better to change to Yen currency before flying over. A good example of this is the
US dollar, when exchanging US dollar into Yen in Japan, the exchange rate is good. This differs
to other Southeast Asian countries, because the foreign exchange market, is at all time very
competitive and the pupils that exchange the money take a smaller cut. So, it is ideal to
exchange money before travelling to Japan unless you are travelling from United States
(Japan-Guide, 2018).
Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO)
Results show that the estimated number of travellers to
Japan, in October 2018, estimates to about 2.6 million,
which is a massive increase of visitors from the past year
2017. It shows that 1.8% more visitors came in 2018. The
graph shows statics from 2014 to 2018 (JTB Tourism
Research & Consulting CO, 2018).

Visitors Expenditure 2010 - 2016
In the year 2010 to 2016, the number of expenditures from the international tourism visitors
that visit Japan, was increasing yearly, bringing in more profits for local businesses and the
economy. In the year 2010 1.15 trillion Japanese Yen was bought in by international tourism
visitors. In the year 2016 3.75 trillion Japanese Yen was bought in by international tourism
visitors, this clearly shows 2 benefits
to the country. The first benefit is
the number of visitors increasing
throughout the years, as the above
table showed. The second benefit of
this increase is the money income
for Japan, it appears that Japan’s
Tourism economy, only seems to
increase throughout the years, the
table below will show the statistics
(Statista, 2018).
Visitor Expenditure by Category
In the year 2017, JNTO (Japan National Tourism Organisation) released statics for overseas
visitors, on what they spend their money on when travelling to Japan. The table below shows
that accommodation is the biggest money in take from tourism to the country with 22,378 Yen
spent by tourists in 2017. Meaning the hotels in Japan, must meet oversea visitor’s needs.
Most leisure travellers are normally preferring to stay in 3 star or even higher star of hotels.
Japanese women, in their twenty’s or thirty’s, who travel to Japan, prefer to stay in greater
luxury hotels such as 4star – 5star hotels. For the students who travel to explore, are preferred
to stay in budget hotels (Visit Britain,
2018). The second biggest money in take
from tourism to the country is for general
shopping with 19,530 Yen spent by
tourists in 2017. This states that local
businesses, have a real benefit from
overseas tourists, as they bring in a lot of
profit for the business as well as the
economy (JNTO, 2018).

Seasonality
The weather in Tokyo follows a general
pattern of hot summers and cold winters
which temperatures reaching a maximum of
31 Celsius and lows of three Celsius. (National
Climate Data Centre). Therefore, the best
time to visit for tourists seeking hot weather
is the summer. Although this is peak season
and Tokyo can become more crowded.
Furthermore, April and November are often
perceived as being more appropriate and
manageable regarding skipping long lines for
museums which cannot be avoided in busier
periods. (U.S News – Tokyo travel guide, n.d).
Tourism Resources Audit
For our tourism audit, we will be using the 5 A’s of tourism (Attractions, Accessibility,
Amenities, Accommodation and Activities) to give an analysis of the full resources in our
destination. From this, we will identify the key tourism elements Tokyo has to offer.
Attractions –
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hr_TbL5ejuQ#action=share
t- This video explains the top 5 attractions in Tokyo and the surrounding areas. It also gives a
small over view of Tokyo history and how these attractions have come about. These
attractions will mainly be for the family and friends who have come along since they have
more time to explore the surrounding areas.

Activities – A social program has been put in place for the surgeons to see the surrounding
areas. It will be for people to do instead of attending a certain conference. they can choose
whether they would like to visit around Tokyo or attend that conference. The social
programme will take over an afternoon conference.
1. Around 2pm start the social programme and get in
coaches (momentuncoachhire.com, 2016) which will be
used throughout the day first stop can be the Meiji Shrine
(japan-guide.com, 2018). Here they can spend around an
hour and a half since there are many different sites
around the area of the shrine which they can visit like the
Yoyogi park, nearby is Harajuku which is a very popular
place with young teenagers, but they may want to pay a
visit to see what it is like since it is a big attraction in
Tokyo. Or they can visit Omotesando which is a more
high-end shopping area, this may be more attractive for
them to visit.
2. At around 3.30pm they can take the coach again to Shinjuku where they can shop for
more traditional Japanese goods, so they can try traditional Japanese street food getting
a taste of their
culture. This can be good for
the surgeons because
they get to experience more
of the culture. The
main shopping area for this
is called ‘Beams’
(beams.co.jp, n.d). It is a
more high-end
shopping area which will be
more appropriate for
them to be shopping in. They
can shop for around
an hour here or longer if
they need it. (timeout.com, 2018).
3. They can now have choice to go visit Akihabara
(japan-guide.com, 2018) - Since this is a unique place people may not enjoy visiting here
so they can go straight to the Genyadana Hamadaya restaurant (hamadaya.info, n.d). If
they chose to go to Akihabara they can take the same coach, there and spend around an
hour including travel time which is around 20 mins there before heading to the
restaurant. From Akihabara they can catch the coach again for 10 mins to the
restaurant.
4. The social program will end at the Genyadana Hamadaya, this is a 3-star Michelin
restaurant which holds many people, it is a very historic restaurant going back to 1912 it
continues with the traditional practices from the Meiji period by having famous Geishas.
It has connections with Geisha this allows them to be served and entertained in the old
Geisha traditions; serving traditional Japanese foods.

Accommodation –
As our client is the American Heart Association, they fall under the ‘Businessperson’ tourist
typology. This gives us a small insight into what sort of things these people would typically be
known for/ associated with. Under the businessperson typology, it states that:
• They are concerned with their social status.
• They contribute to the economy.
• They do not take photos.
• They prefer interacting with people of their own kind.
• They go to famous places.
There are many different types of accommodation across Tokyo including Hostels e.g. Unplan
Kagurazaka (Hostelworld, 2018), Guesthouses e.g. LY INN Oshiage (Booking.com, 2018), Hotels
e.g. Ana Intercontinental Tokyo (Ana Intercontinental Tokyo, 2018), Capsule Hotels which are
quite unique and well known to Japan e.g. Capsule Hotel Anshin Oyado Premier Tokyo
Shinjuku Station (Expedia, 2018) and Air BnB are just some examples.
There are many luxury hotels across Tokyo, some of which include
the Hilton Tokyo, The Prince Park Tower Tokyo, The Ritz-Carlton
Tokyo and more (Booking.com, 2018).
We have chosen the Ana Intercontinental Tokyo for the clients as
we feel this is the best suited for the requirements. As the clients
from the Heart Association will be bringing their partners along to
the conference, this means that there will be around 400
attendees and therefore they need somewhere that is big enough
to accommodate everyone so that it is easy for everyone to attend
conferences and be within a close distance of each other and any
events being held over the period of time they are visiting, and as
specified in the client brief, a destination with the right amenities
and attractions is something that they are prepared to pay more
for. With, the Ana Intercontinental is located very centrally, and is
close to a lot of amenities and attractions. It is just a 20-minute
walk or 6-minute drive from Tokyo Tower which is one of the city’s most popular attractions.
Typically, people associated under the ‘businessperson’ typology prefer luxury, our chosen
hotel is 5-stars, and with the clients working several hours a week, they will expect to be
looked after in every aspect when they go away. There are 844 rooms in the hotel, meaning
there are more than double required for the clients. There are also many different types of
Destination Tokyo

room available, ranging from the classic room to the presidential suite (Ana Intercontinental
Tokyo, 2018).
Another reason that we have chosen this hotel is the
amenities it has to offer, including 7 different restaurants,
4 bars & Lounges, a patisserie, different business rooms
and facilities, there is also an open-air swimming pool,
health and fitness centre, spa, shopping arcade and a
medical clinic (Ana Intercontinental Tokyo, 2018).
Furthermore why we have chosen this hotel for the
clients is the Business amenities on offer, as they are able
to hold any conferences/ business events at the hotel and therefore do not have to worry
about travelling through the city for any events. The hotel has many different rooms for
different purposes, including small and mid-size event suites and the prominence ballroom,
which can hold anywhere from 870 – 2200 people depending on the type of event being held.
(Ana Intercontinental Tokyo, 2018).
The prominence ballroom will be where the clients spend most of their time as this is where
any conferences/ business events will be held as well as the black-tie dinner event being held
here on the final night.
Accessibility –
Destination Tokyo

13
In Tokyo, there are two main airports, Narita and Haneda. (gotokyo.org, n.d.) This makes it
accessible to other countries around the globe. The most international flights enter via Narita
(35 miles from the city.) (narita-airport.jp, n.d.) From there, the quickest way to get into town
is using the JR Narita Express train, connecting with all major stations, such as Shinjuku,
Shinagawa, Shibuya and Tokyo, taking around an hour. (jreast.co.jp, n.d.) Haneda airport is
much closer and more convenient to access as it is centrally located (only around 12 miles
from Tokyo Station), but it has fewer international flights. (haneda-airport.jp, n.d.) Which
means our client (American Association of Heart Surgeons) who will be mainly coming from
America (80%) and the rest from different places around Europe (20%) will fly there. However,
this isn’t a concern as they have excellent transport links from the Airports to the city. Each
airport has buses, express trains and taxis that will go to all the major hotel districts in they
want to get one. (Demetriou, 2016) On the other hand, we will be able to provide limousine
transfers from the Airport if they wish to arrive in luxury and comfort after a long flight.
As mentioned in our PowerPoint, we break the different typologies of tourists going to Japan,
into the segmentation model. Using this, we can anticipate what types of transport they would
use.

Other than the travel mentioned, Tokyo can be walked around. As all the attractions are close
together. However, the human congestion around the streets might make it hard to do so, or
longer to get to places.

Ease of accessibility of the destination’s component attractions
1. The accessibility of Akihabara
Destination Tokyo

16
You can easily get to Akihabara Station on the JR Yamanote Line, Keihin-Tohoku Line, Sobu
Line or Tokyo Metro's Hibiya Line. From Haneda Airport: On the Limousine bus it takes 50
minutes, or if you get the train 45 minutes. From Narita Airport: The Limousine bus takes two
hours, or the train takes an hour and half. (gotokyo.org, n.d.) However, when you get there
the accessibility of akihabara is very poor. It is an over-crowded shopping area. Also, it does
not cater for wheelchair users. (accessible-japan.com, 2018)
2. The accessibility of Meiji shrine
The entrance to Meiji Shrine South Gate is very close to Harajuku Station, taking about a 3-
minute walk so is accessible easily by train. (planetyze.com, 2018) On a further note, the
ramps in the shrine complex and the barrier free toilet mean that it is quite accessible to most
people with a disability. (accessible-japan.com, 2018)
3. The accessibility of Shinjiku
It takes 25 minutes from Ueno Station. By JR Yamanote Line to get there and costs 200 yen
(1.77 US dollars). Also available is a slightly quicker way if you take the JR Yamanote or JR
Keihin-Tohoku Line from Ueno to Kanda Station, and then the JR Chuo Line from Kanda to
Shinjuku. (japan-guide.com, 2018) Shinjuku is a large area. However, different places have
better accessibility than others. The department stores and Skyscraper District allow
wheelchair access and have accessible toilets and restaurants. On the other hand, Omoide
Yokocho, Kabukicho and Golden Gai aren’t that accessible and most restaurants and bars can
only be enjoyed from outside. (accessible-japan.com, 2018)
4. The accessibility of Asakusa
Take the JR Yamanote Line to Kanda Station from Tokyo Station (2 minutes, 140 yen (1.24 US
dollars)) and transfer to the Ginza Subway Line for Asakusa (10 minutes, 170 yen (1.24 US
dollars)). The accessibility varies as the crowd capacity changes by day-of-the week (weekends
are the busiest) and time of the year. In the new year, from January 1-15th Japanese go visit
temples to pray. Therefore, it is not adviced to go there. Other than the crowds though the
main temple is accessible, there are toilets and most restaurants in the surrounding area are
more accessible than others in Japan. (accessible-japan.com, 2018)
Destination Tokyo

17
Amenities –
here are two types of amenities (natural and manmade.) Beaches, sea-bathing, fishing, climbing,
trekking, viewing etc. are come under the former category. Various types of entertainments and
facilities which cater for the special needs of the tourists come under the latter category.
(coursehero.com, 2018)
A limitation to the carrying capacity of destinations
Due to daily tourism the carrying capacity of two cities are 150,000 peolple/day in Tokyo. (Bo, 2013)
The carrying capacity of Toyko has no structure and is struggling, leading to urban-sprawl. However,
there is plans to build a new airport runway, which people have protested against because they can’t
handle the tourists coming in. (Humstokyo.weebly.com, n.d.) Tokyo needs to measure its carrying
capacity better so they can have a strategic plan in place to help limit the use of resources.
(Japanfs.org, 2014)
Tourist shops, café, toilets & othr necessary facilities
Toilets
While it may be difficult to locate a restroom in a rural area, its quite easy to find relatively clean public
restromms in japan’s metropolitan areas. (livejapan.com, 2018)

• Bongen
• Foodmood

Hotel Amenities
Amenities help with the protection of destination (Tokyo)
Facilities are very essential for any tourist centre. They help protect the destination because it
makes tourism run more smoothly. Also, they help employ local people in places such as cafés,
restaurants etc. If people spend money in the amenities, such as tourist shops, this money
goes back into the local community, and then that money can be spent protecting the
destination further. They can also protect the destination because natural amenities such as
gardens like Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden help the environment. This is because trees
absorb carbon dioxide to remove it from the atmosphere. This reduces greenhouse gasses
which lessens the impact on global warming. (Evans, n.d.)
Destination Tokyo

19
Amenities can influence visitor expectations & satisfaction
Amenities can have a huge impact on whether a tourist enjoys their stay or not. This is
because they are a huge part of a visitors stay. Every tourist will come into contact with
amenities at some point, from toilets to cafés to tourist shops. If this doesn’t live up to
expectations it can ruin the whole outlook of their stay.
