Japan Travel Bureau Foundation, abbreviated as JTBF, is a research institute representing Japan in the field of travel and tourism. Since its establishment in March 1912 (Meiji 45) as Japan Tourist Bureau for the purpose of welcoming foreign visitors to Japan, it has undergone several reorganizations and name changes, and in 1945 (Showa 20) became the Japan Travel Bureau Foundation. In addition to research and studies on travel and tourism, it is also involved in public interest activities to promote tourism culture, such as holding symposiums and seminars, issuing publications, and operating the "Travel Library." In April 2012 (Heisei 24), it became a public interest foundation. In 1963, the sales department was separated to form Japan Travel Bureau Co., Ltd., which became Japan's largest travel agency and changed its name to JTB Corporation in 2001.
