"The Japanese Government Railways (JGR) was the national railway system directly operated by the central government of Japan until 1949. It is a predecessor of Japanese National Railways and the Japan Railways Group. One of the roles of the Japanese Government Railways was to attract foreign tourists to Japan.
In 1930, the government created the Board of Tourist Industry (Kokusai Kanko Kyoku) as a section of the Japanese Government Railways (Ministry of Railways). The Board printed and distributed picture posters and English guidebooks overseas and encouraged development of resort hotels at home. The Board was dissolved in 1942, following the breakout of the Pacific War in 1941" (Wikipedia).
