The Japanese Ministry of Tourism announced that it will be offering free flights to 10,000 foreigners wishing to visit the country in 2012. This initiative intends to increase tourists after the sharp decline in tourism after the earthquake and tsunami that hit the country in March.
THe application is not out yet, but stay tuned to the Japan National Tourism Organization website: http://www.jnto.go.jp/
My husband (who can speak Japanese) and I want to visit Japan in October 2012,but are not sure how much it will cost, so any free flights would be great.
Will get you book to get the full ins and outs.

That’s great! It will take some planning, but you’ll have a fantastic time in Japan – October is perfect.
