Tainan Bundan is not only eaten, but also "soaked" in the foot bath at Oita Airport in Japan! The Nanshi Tourism Bureau has joined hands with Oita Air Terminal to launch the "Tainan Bundan IN Oita Airport Foot Bath" tourism promotion event at Oita Airport in Japan from September 25 to 30. The season's Bundan is integrated into Oita's special foot bath, paired with Tainan tourism displays and promotional videos, allowing tourists to soak their feet while getting to know Tainan and feeling the Mid-Autumn Festival atmosphere.
Tainan Mayor Huang Weizhe said that Japan has always been an important international tourist market in Tainan. Oita County is located in the northeastern part of Kyushu and is famous for its rich hot spring resources. Currently, direct flights between Tainan and Kumamoto run back and forth every Tuesday and Friday, providing convenient transportation for exchanges between Tainan and Kyushu. This time, through the creative combination of bundan and foot bath, we hope to expand the customer base of Oita and Kyushu and attract more Japanese tourists to visit Tainan.

In addition to visiting historical sites, old streets, temples and coastal attractions in Tainan in autumn, you can also taste seasonal Wendan and local delicacies. It will continue to use Tainan's characteristics and launch diversified overseas promotion activities to attract more Japanese tourists to include Tainan as a tourist destination in Taiwan.

Japan is expected to fully implement a new airport tax refund system from November. Instead, the tax-included price will be paid first, and the tax will be refunded after the goods are confirmed at the exit airport. Travel expert Lin Thi Pik pointed out that ordinary travelers can arrive at the airport 2 hours in advance, but only those with large tax refunds who spend a lot of money or purchase a large number of high-quality goods need to make special efforts.
