Inbound Visitors

The number of Chinese tourists to Japan grew by just 3.0% year-on-year in November, a sharp drop from October's 22.8% increase. The Japan National Tourism Organization's data suggests deteriorating Japan-China relations played a role in this slowdown. Meanwhile, total inbound visitors from January to November hit 39,065,600, surpassing the 2024 annual record of 36,870,148.
