Tourism in the Colonies

The acquisition of colonies meant an expansion in travel destinations. The number of people visiting the colonies for sightseeing increased as ships and railroads were built. Travel agencies were established in Japan to facilitate tourism in the colonies, to sell discounted tickets, and provide travel information to make it easier to visit them. In particular, Manchuria was the first place to offer school excursions. Manchuria was especially popular as a school excursion destination and many students wrote down what they saw and heard there. In this way, the colonies were not only places frequented by Japanese soldiers, bureaucrats, businessmen, and immigrants, but also tourists.
