Today, September 16, 2022, we celebrate the second anniversary of COOL JAPAN VIDEOS, a social, video curation website featuring videos that highlight the charms of Japan. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the many people, both in Japan and abroad, who have helped make this possible by enjoying our website. In 2020, the Japan's tourism industry was hit hard by the spread of the novel coronavirus. COOL JAPAN VIDEOS was released to help boost tourism to Japan in the midst of the raging coronavirus pandemic. Two years have passed since the start of the pandemic, and we have finally begun to hear some good news, such as the easing of restrictions on foreign travelers entering Japan, which is a promising sign. Although it will take some more time for things to return to the way they were before the coronavirus pandemic, we hope that you will continue to learn about the charms of Japan online through COOL JAPAN VIDEOS. We hope that you'll join us in sharing information about Japan, its products, and its services with people around the world using the social features on COOL JAPAN VIDEOS, and enjoy communicating with said people as well. We are planning to release an app version of COOL JAPAN VIDEOS in the near future, and we are also working hard to support other languages. We will continue to strive to provide better service and be as reliable as possible going forward. We look forward to your continued support.
