Kyushu Earthquakes Update
The Kumamoto region on the southern Japanese island of Kyushu continues
to see sizeable earthquakes, as reported across international media.
Although
April is a peak travel season for Japan, InsideJapan Tours has only a
small number of customers in Kyushu itself, none of whom are close to
the earthquake epicentre in Kumamoto. All are safe and well.
The
Japan specialist's operations team on the ground is in contact with all
customers in Kyushu and is keeping them updated on the evolving
situation. The earthquake has caused transport disruption in parts of
Kyushu which will affect the small number of clients in the area, but
ground staff are currently working on solutions for the few who are
affected.
InsideJapan's team is also in contact with customers
with plans to head to the region over the next week and is rerouting
them away from the affected areas where necessary. The vast majority of
InsideJapan's customers are in mainland Honshu and are thus completely
unaffected by the events in Kyushu.
The InsideJapan teams in the
UK and the US remain in close contact with the operations team on the
ground in Japan and continue to monitor the situation closely.
InsideJapan
Tours' Co-Director, Alastair Donnelly, says: "We are of course very
relieved that the few clients we have travelling in this area are safe
and sound. Our operations team in Nagoya is doing a great job of
supporting our clients on the ground and our UK and US offices are
available to answer any questions customers may have about their
upcoming trips.
"My thoughts and those of the whole team are with
the Japanese people and their families who are caught up in this
natural disaster."
