VISIT | Japan Rail Fair
Though Japan may not be added into the list of countries that Singapore has a VTL with, you can still savour a little of what Japan has to offer in this virtual gateway. Back for its second year following the success of its debut event, Japan Rail Cafe is hosting yet another Japan Rail Fair. We’re talking a combination of free and ticketed live programmes comprising interactive seminars and activities revolving around Japan travel, food and culture.
