Chubu Centrair International Airport in Nagoya has started various new services to cater to foreign visitors, including new bus services to the city, tourist information and announcements in Chinese and Korean.

The weakened yen and booming Southeast Asian economies have caused an influx of tourists to Japan in recent years, and Centrair is keen on improving services for foreigners to get those numbers higher.

One morning last month, a group of foreigners alighted from a bus in front of the airport terminal. Dubbed the Centrair Limousine, the bus takes paying passengers to and from three major hotels in central Nagoya, which is about 48 minutes away.
