Nishi-Nippon Railroad Co., Ltd., (Nishitetsu) announced on Dec. 6 that they will develop golf tours in Fukuoka aimed at Taiwanese tourists.

The first tour will start on Dec. 18 and will cost approximately ¥200,000 for a four-night, five-day trip. The tour is twice the price of the standard option, but sold out in less than three hours. Nishitetsu expects the tour to attract 1,000 visitors annually, drawing in a revenue of ¥100 million in the region. Source: Nikkei Shimbun, 12/6/2017
