Japan has been making headlines for quite some time now as the country gears up for the 2020 Summer Olympics scheduled to be held in Tokyo in July 2020.

If Japan is on your bucket list too, here’s your chance to win free round trip tickets across the country in the new year!

In order to boost tourism in the less explored regions of Japan, Japan Airlines is offering 50,000 free domestic round-trip flights around the country. However it's only for visitors in Japan in summer 2020.
