ANA (All Nippon Airways) Group has announced their Discovering Japan Project which will focus on different regions of Japan.

According to JapanToday:

TOKYO —ANA Group is launching the Discovering Japan Project to inform international passengers about Japan’s “hidden gems.” The project will highlight interesting, unusual and attractive aspects of Japan which are less well known among an international audience, for example region and seasons. These attractions will be advertised to passengers throughout ANA’s expanding international network, through various channels including the airline’s in-flight magazine and Facebook page. 

The first focus will be Kumamoto Prefecture, a region of Japan located at the heart of the southernmost island, Kyushu.
