We exist to promote and the city of Portland and its surrounding areas amongst travelers. For many years Travel Portland has worked with the travel trade and media in Japan. We know that we offer Japanese guests a unique experience one of the most beautiful, delicious, dynamic, yet relaxed cities in the world. It's a city where Japanese visitors can experience something delightful around every corner, yet feel completely at home. This is not a money-chasing, competition-driven city, but it is most definitely not a country town. It's a thriving, thoughtfully planned metropolis that is a magnet to creative people who enjoy great food, great wine and beer, and a closeness to and respect for nature that informs all we do.
