The one-stop guide website for international tourists LIVE JAPAN PERFECT GUIDE TOKYO celebrates its first anniversary on Thursday, the 13th of April. To celebrate this occasion, we will host the LIVE JAPAN Awards 2017 on the very same date!
The LIVE JAPAN Awards 2017 feature five different categories, made up of Gourmet, Experience, Shopping (divided into large retailers and small retailers), Sightseeing, and LIVE JAPAN Staff Recommendation. The winners were decided in accordance with how many people clicked on articles about them and their own spot information on LIVE JAPAN.
