“Buddhism has made the two countries — Japan and India — close for centuries. I propose the establishment of a Japanese village near Ajanta-Ellora to further attract tourist footfalls from Japan and welcome our Japanese brothers with better warmth and hospitality,” said state Tourism Minister Jayakumar Jitendrasinh Rawal on Monday, indicating that land for such an establishment will be provided.
“We must also organise special Japanese tours in the state,” he said, adding that the proposed village will incorporate Japanese hospitality and culture to make tourists and visitors from Japan feel at home.
Meanwhile, the state government also signed a MoU with WPG, under which the Japan International Cooperation Agency is funding the Ajanta-Ellora Development Phase 3.
The MoU also highlights the joint efforts of Maharashtra and WPG to enhance mutual economic growth, promote agro and food processing between local enterprises through existing framework that both the governments have established.
The renewal of the MoU term and this association will help increase tourism inflow in Maharashtra and Wakayama through the agreement.
