Tourism helps in many ways, from personal enrichment to area economy to cross-cultural understanding. Most importantly, tourism allow us to build friendship and spread love in person.

At a sad moment like this in Japan, tourism allows us travelers, whether past or future visitors, to think about what the country and the people were like before and what is going to happen in the future. When you look at the devastating photos, think about what you can help - this is a moment where we should contribute what we can to help restore it's past and build a better tomorrow.

We encourage you to help. Following is an article with a list of charities accepting donations for Japan's Earthquake Relief.
