Tabinaka day

Today, and January 30th annually, is Tabinaka Day (タビナカの日). The Tokyo‑based company Tabinaka, created the day. As a company's name, "Tabinaka" is not translated, but the name was chosen to reflect a meaning like "inside trip". The company operate an overseas optional‑tour and activity booking site of the same name.

The date comes from using the numbers of the date "1‑3‑0" to represent “iza, chikyū o tanoshimō”; “Come on, let’s enjoy the world.” The anniversary reflects the company’s mission to help more people experience the richness of travel: breathtaking landscapes, encounters with rare animals, delicious local food, and cultural discoveries that make life feel fuller. 

They were smart to associate the date with their company in particular, but it is generally a day to think about planning a much-deserved holiday! Have you any international travel plans this year?
