American Airlines is working with the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) to share travel tips and highlight deals for travelers visiting Japan this fall and winter.

            Customers can visit www.AA.com/Tokyo to find dining, shopping, events and attractions information -- courtesy of Frommer's Unlimited -- or explore the new "Travel Tips" tab on American's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/AA. JNTO's website, www.japantravelinfo.com, also has useful information and recommendations. On flights to Japan, American Airlines offers customers the option to request a traditional Japanese meal by calling 800-433-7300 24 hours in advance.

            While in Japan food enthusiasts will enjoy a nation that the 2012 Michelin Guide identifies as having the most restaurants that have three Michelin stars, visitors who want to explore the region can take advantage of free local tours guided in English and other languages by JNTO-registered Systematized Goodwill Guides.
