Our Hearts Are with Kumamoto

The entire Tohoku Travel Services LLC and Yokohama Travel Inc. family are deeply saddened by the earthquake that struck Kumamoto, Japan. Our hearts and prayers are with everyone affected, especially the families who have lost loved ones, those who have been injured, and those whose homes, businesses, and communities have been impacted.

Kumamoto holds a very special place in our hearts. Over the years, many of our tour groups have visited this beautiful region, creating unforgettable memories and lasting friendships with the wonderful people who call Kumamoto and Kyushu home.

We are especially grateful to the first responders, emergency personnel, volunteers, and community members who are working tirelessly to assist those in need and help their communities recover.

When it is safe to do so, Tohoku Travel Services LLC and Yokohama Travel Inc. remain committed to bringing our tour groups back to Kumamoto and the surrounding areas. By visiting local attractions, staying at area hotels, dining at local restaurants, and shopping at local businesses, we hope our tours will help support the local economy and contribute to the region's recovery.

Travel is more than sightseeing—it is an opportunity to connect with people, support local communities, and help preserve the places we love. We encourage everyone to continue supporting Kumamoto and its resilient people as they rebuild.

Please join us in keeping the people of Kumamoto in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

From all of us at Tohoku Travel Services LLC and Yokohama Travel Inc., we send our heartfelt aloha, prayers, and unwavering support to the people of Kumamoto. We stand with you today and throughout your recovery.
