Japan Visitor Newsletter

Dear

Welcome to our May newsletter! Thank you to all our subscribers who entered our previous competitions. We are running a new competition this month. See the entry details below.

Quiz

This month Goods from Japan is sponsoring our competition, which is open only to subscribers to our newsletter. Each month we will be offering new prizes for our members. This month we have a number of prizes on offer.

Our prizes include some character USB memory sticks, Hanshin Tigers baseball caps, official World Cup soccer posters and a variety of Japanese kendama.

All you have to do is answer these four questions (follow the links to find the answers; there's one question about China).

When and where does the Dontsuku Festival take place?
What are the origins of the Aoi Matsuri?
Name two Kyoto restaurants listed in the Michelin Guide?
How many souls are enshrined at Yasukuni Shrine, Japan's most controversial shrine?

To enter the competition, just reply to this email with the subject line "JV competition".

We will select the winners who will receive the prizes listed above from all entries received before we send out our next newsletter.
