Uttar Pradesh has showcased its historical and cultural tourism offerings to a 200-member Japanese delegation from Yamanashi Prefecture, as the five-day visit also seeks to deepen investment and business ties between the state and Japan.

Led by Governor of Yamanashi Prefecture Kotaro Nagasaki and Vice Governor Junichi Ishidera, the delegation of investors and business leaders is visiting Agra, Lucknow, Greater Noida and Varanasi after its inaugural engagement in New Delhi. The visit is focused on exploring opportunities in tourism, manufacturing, green hydrogen, skills and technology.

The delegation began its Uttar Pradesh leg on Saturday with a traditional Braj welcome and a visit to the Taj Mahal after an engagement at Galgotias University, Greater Noida. Two agreements were signed at the university to expand global career opportunities for students and promote joint research in green hydrogen. These included an MoU with the Yamanashi Prefectural Government and a Letter of Intent with the University of Yamanashi.

Uttar Pradesh Tourism and Culture Minister Jaiveer Singh and Director General, UP Tourism, Vedpati Mishra hosted the delegation in Agra.

“I had seen the Taj Mahal many times in photographs, but being here allows you to notice the craftsmanship and proportion in a completely different way.
