Apple CEO Tim Cook and SVP of Marketing Greg Joswiak took a trip to the Prefectural University of Kumamoto, Japan, to visit students and landmarks.
Cook and other Apple executives tend to go on PR tours of different countries to reinforce Apple's commitment to a program or enterprise. The recent trip to Japan marks Cook's second major outing since the coronavirus pandemic began.
"Great to be back in Japan," Tim Cook tweeted. "Visited the historic Kumamoto Castle and learned about their work to restore this incredible landmark."
