409<p>We have also been a <a title="TripAdvisor Strategic Partner Japan" href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3937710-10775740?URL=http://www.tripadvisor.com/SmartDeals-g294232-a_cja.10775740-a_cjp.3937710-m13092-Japan-Hotel-Deals.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Tripadvisor Strategic Partner Japan</a> since 2009.</p>
410<h4 style="text-align: justify;">About Us: A Potted History</h4>
411<p style="text-align: justify;">Our principal first arrived in Japan in 1995. Our initial local tourism portal was launched in 2003 as a simple one page of links, hints and pictures in an effort to consolidate the multitude of English information on the <a href="https://myoko.jp/">Myoko Kogen</a> area and make it more readily accessible. At that time there was very little information available on the area in English but that had changed by 2006 with <a title="Myoko's expanding international profile" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/snowandski/4030838/Snowboarding-the-worlds-best-resorts.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">the area’s expanding international profile</a> &#8211; partly due to our efforts we believe.</p>
412<p style="text-align: justify;">After the site grew to a number of pages with expanded coverage, it’s popularity increased, links were made from other sites and we were even mentioned in a number of newspaper, magazine and web articles. Since then the Explore The Heart of Japan sites have also been linked or recognised as the authoritative guide by a variety of websites and travel companies including <a href="http://travel.ninemsn.com.au/world/1034966/ten-things-you-have-to-know-about-skiing-in-japan" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">MSN Travel</a>, HIS, <a href="http://www.tourisme-japon.fr/A-voir-a-faire/Sports-et-plein-air/Activites-de-plein-air/Skier-au-Japon/Skier-dans-le-Chubu" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">JNTO France</a>, <a title="Myoko Kogen could well be your idea of alpine heaven" href="http://www.smh.com.au/travel/travel-feature/powder-and-the-passion-20090909-fh6r.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sydney Morning Herald</a>, <a title="Lonely Planet Myoko Kogen" href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/japan/tokyo/travel-tips-and-articles/42/39549" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Lonely Planet</a>, <a href="http://www.news.com.au/travel/story/0,23483,22511182-35675,00.html" target="blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The News Corporation Travel Section</a> and <a href="http://travelinsider.qantas.com.au/ski_japan.htm">Qantas Travel Insider</a>. So in due course Explore the Heart of Japan further established itself as the most popular and informative one-stop English portal for the Northern Nagano area.</p>
413<p style="text-align: justify;">Around the end of 2007 we became aware that there was a growing body of international skiers and snowboarders coming to <a href="https://myoko.jp/">Myoko Kogen</a>. After visiting Myoko many skiers and snowboarders, both local and foreign, despaired of the accolades poured out on <a title="Hakuba Accommodation Guide" href="https://hakubatravel.com/">Hakuba</a>, <a title="The Nozawa Onsen Guide" href="https://madaraokogen.com/nozawa-onsen/">Nozawa</a>, <a title="Accommodation in Shiga Kogen Ski Resort" href="https://shigakogen.info/">Shiga-kogen</a>, etc., whilst Myoko Kogen, with snow every bit as good, went seemingly unnoticed. This was in part due again to a lack of regularly updated and substantive ski information on the area.</p>
414<p style="text-align: justify;">Hence in 2008 we added the <a href="https://myokoskiresort.com/">Destination Myoko Kogen</a> site as well to serve these needs. Destination Myoko Kogen quickly established itself as the authoritative site for ski information in and around <a href="https://myoko.net/">Myoko Kogen</a>. Our <a title="Myoko-Nagano accommodation pages" href="https://naganonow.com/nagano-accommodation/">hotel and accommodation pages</a> were also expanded in late 2008, as demand increased, to include not only <a href="https://myoko.jp/">Myoko Kogen</a> but also <a href="https://togakushivillage.com/">Togakushi</a>, <a href="https://madaraokogen.com/madarao-accommodation/">Madarao</a>, <a href="https://joetsu-myoko.com/joetsu-myoko-accommodation/joetsu-accommodation/">Joetsu</a>, <a href="https://naganonow.com/nagano-accommodation/">Nagano City</a>, <a title="Hakuba Accommodation Guide" href="https://hakubatravel.com/">Hakuba</a> and <a href="https://thesnowmonkeys.com/japan-snow-monkey-accommodation/">The Snow Monkeys</a> as well as stopover options in <a href="https://www.booking.com/city/jp/tokyo.en-gb.html?aid=341425" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Tokyo</a>, <a href="https://www.booking.com/city/jp/tokyo-narita-airport.en-gb.html?aid=341425" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Narita Airport</a>, <a href="https://www.booking.com/city/jp/osaka.en-gb.html?aid=341425" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Osaka</a>, <a href="http://www.booking.com/city/jp/kyoto.html?aid=341425">Kyoto</a> and <a href="http://www.booking.com/city/jp/nagoya.html?aid=341425">Nagoya</a>. Additionally, there was the provision of improved support from our major accommodation providers, as well as an increase in the number of establishments able to be booked in English.</p>
415<p style="text-align: justify;">In 2010 and 2011 we expanded our popular <a title="Hakuba Accommodation Guide" href="https://hakubatravel.com/">Hakuba</a> and <a href="https://madaraokogen.com/nozawa-onsen/">Nozawa Onsen</a> sub-sites into their own stand-alone guides. These additions now provided the Explore the Heart of Japan group the most substantive web presence for visitors to Japan’s ‘White Triangle’ area covering Niigata and Nagano.</p>
416<p>Between 2016-2018 we rationalised and moved some sites to management by local partners to help us focus on core areas before more growth in 2023-2024 &#8211;
416 adding standalone boutique sites for <a href="https://lakenojiri.com/">Lake Nojiri</a>, <a href="https://shigakogen.info/">Shiga Kogen</a>, <a href="https://togari-onsen.com/">Togari Onsen</a>, <a title="Togakushi" href="https://togakushivillage.com/">Togakushi</a> and <a href="https://thesnowmonkeys.com/japan-snow-monkey-accommodation/">The Snow Monkeys</a>. At least two more are planned for by mid-2026.</p>
