Last Update : 2019/4/3

The Japan Tourism Agency, in the form of push notifications through the Safety Tips apps, provides information on disasters to international visitors notifying them of Earthquake Early Warnings, Tsunami Warnings and other Weather Warnings in Japan so they can feeling safe while travelling throughout the country.

In order to provide up-to-date information to more international visitors visiting Japan, the Japan Tourism Agency, with the cooperation of an application production company, has made it possible for other apps to share services that provide disaster information on Safety tips. By using the Safety tips API (*1), it is possible for operators to distribute disaster information using their application services in 5 different languages (English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean and Japanese) without having to create a new system from scratch.

Please consider using the Safety tips API that has been helping international visitors stay safe during their trip to Japan.

*1 API= Application Programming Interface
*2 There may be introduction and maintenance costs. Please inquire for more details.
