Officials from the Japan Tourism Agency on Friday inspected the Tokyo head office of Amuse-Travel Co., the travel agency that organized the trekking tour in China in which three Japanese tourists died in a blizzard last week.
Five officials from the tourism agency and the transport ministry's Kanto district bureau in Yokohama checked in detail Amuse-Travel's safety management system for tourists.
The agency has the power to order Amuse-Travel to halt its business activities if it finds problems.
