JTB Corp.
JTB began in 1912 as Japan Tourist Bureau, Japan's first travel agency.
It became an independent company, JTB Inc., in 1963. In the following year - the year of the Tokyo Olympics - JTB introduced English guided tours within Japan for foreign visitors: "Sunrise Tours". This brand still offers one of the most popular and highly-regarded range of tours for overseas visitors to Japan.
The JTB Group of companies now numbers around 150 enterprises operating in various travel-related businesses, from tour operation to insurance, travel-related supplies and publishing.
JTB Corp. remains the largest travel agency in Japan, with its Head office in Tokyo, over 300 branches throughout Japan and around 70 offices overseas.
