For foreign ministers and others who have come to Tokyo to discuss international cooperation on difficult subjects such as the European debt crisis, the Japanese government has prepared some entertainment.

The office set up by the Ministry of Finance for the preparation of the IMF and World Bank meetings, which run through Oct. 14, announces such entertainment plans as tours to Tokyo Sky Tree and the Asakusa historical district on its website.

Under the "Hospitality Measures" section of the website, the office says the government has set up purikura booths at the Tokyo International Forum in the Yurakucho district, one of the venues for various events of the IMF and World Bank meetings.
