Japan Summit in Oahu 2025

Reuniting with Japan’s Travel Industry in Oahu—Showcasing the Beauty of the Sandbar

Aloha! I’m Yuka from Captain Bruce.

Recently, we had the opportunity to participate in the Japan Summit held in Oahu, Hawaii.

This summit was a valuable gathering where many tour agents and major travel industry professionals from Japan came together. As a local tour operator based in Oahu, Captain Bruce was honored to meet with everyone directly and exchange insights.

One of the key highlights we introduced was our signature tour, the Kaneohe Sandbar Tours. For travel agents unfamiliar with Oahu’s sandbar, we had the important role of showcasing this breathtaking location and the unforgettable moments it offers.

As you may know, since the pandemic, the number of visitors from Japan has decreased to 45% of 2019 levels. With ongoing challenges such as inflation, global economic uncertainty, and the depreciation of the yen, we, as a local tour operator, are fully prepared and eagerly awaiting the arrival of our Japanese guests.
