   KIPPO, since the establishment in 1994, has organized KIPPO Press Tours to provide foreign correspondents based in Tokyo with opportunities to report on various topics in Kansai including its history, culture, advanced R&D and economic activities etc.
   Foreign correspondents participating in KIPPO Press Tour do articles based on the news-gathering activities during the tour and send them to their countries. KIPPO Press Tour is highly popular among correspondents as it allows them to see and report news and topics in Kansai that may hardly be covered in the metropolitan area.
