Overview

Important Correction

Guangzhou is not located in Japan. Guangzhou (广州) is a large metropolitan city in Guangdong Province, in southern China. It is one of China's most important economic and cultural hubs, situated near Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta region.

There is no city, town, prefecture, or administrative area called 'Guangzhou' anywhere in Japan. Publishing fabricated information about a non-existent Japanese destination would mislead travelers and potentially cause real harm — so we will not do that.
