TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan welcomed Japan`s Yuzawa Mayor, Masayuki Tamura, at the City Hall, Thursday, January 11. During the meeting, Tamura offers cooperation in the tourism sector.

Yuzawa is a city in Tokyo, Japan. As many as 440,000 tourists visited the city with around 8,000 residents each year. Yuzawa's main attraction is a nature tourism, which is skiing.
"His explanation is well received and I said that we want tourist centers in Japan can participate to convey messages on tourism in Jakarta," said Anies.

"I hope from today we will be 'match' and both (Jakarta-Yuzawa) will talk to each other about future, not just tourism. We learn from each other's cultures and many things," Yuzawa Mayor Tamura said through his translator.
