The trip started in Tokyo where they met with the Japanese Association of Travel Agents, one of the largest booking agencies for trips to Anaheim. From there they went to Mito, where they met with Mayor Yasushi Takahashi and other officials. In Mito, they had the chance to present an investment opportunity and share with them about opportunities available in Anaheim.
