日本将从7月1日起大幅提高签证费用，单次入境签证费将从3000日元涨至15000日元。这是自1978年以来的首次调整，预计中国游客将成为受影响最大的主要客源国群体。
日本政府宣布将单次入境签证费用调整为15000日元，多次入境签证费用调整为30000日元。官员们将此举归因于通货膨胀和近期日元贬值，并指出新费率使日本与欧洲的标准更为接近。
中国大陆仍然是日本五大入境旅游市场中唯一仍需签证的地区。北京的一位业内人士表示，此次涨价主要影响单次入境签证申请者，而多次入境签证申请者本身已需满足20万人民币的年收入要求。
此外，航班限制和机票价格上涨等因素也预计将减少对价格敏感的中国游客的赴日旅行需求。
