Japan Visitor Newsletter

Dear

Welcome to our July newsletter! We'd like to thank all our readers who entered our previous competitions and let you know that there is a new competition this month. See the 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.

The first five people with the correct answer picked out of a hat will each win a solar maneki neko lucky cat to bring never-ending sun-powered good fortune. The first prize is a Jumbo maneki cat.

The next five people selected will each receive a free clone kendama - an ideal way to pass these long summer days, practising your cup and ball skills.

All you have to do is answer these three questions (follow the links to find the answers).

What is the name of the dog whose statue stands outside Shibuya Station?
In what year was the National Diet Building in Tokyo completed?
Where in Tokyo is the "theme park for ladies" located?

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

We will select the 10 winners who will receive the prizes listed above from all entries received before August 31.
