Alibaba, Lawson join to sell Chinese tourists tickets for Japan sites

Advance online purchases will capitalize on rising visits

TOKYO -- E-shopping giant Alibaba Group Holding and convenience store chain Lawson will sell in China tickets for Japanese museums and other leisure facilities, bridging gaps of language and online availability to profit from steadily growing tourism.

Many Japan-bound visitors have come to value experiences over goods, yet many facilities there do not support buying tickets from overseas.
