Some elements of this text to consider:
- The IB subject guide provides a list of text types and “travel writing” is one of them. This is a quite broad category though that includes many different kinds of texts.
- The Japan National Tourism Organization (the author of the text / website) is part of the Japanese government. An independent writer might tackle some of the same topics / destinations in different ways.
- This article gives a broad overview of Nikko but does not discuss hotels, restaurants etc. as some other writers might do.
- There are multiple images from different parts of Nikko but interestingly none of the images show any actual tourists.
