According to The Asahi Shimbun, a total of 13.15 million foreign nationals booked into hotels and other lodgings in April, the largest number ever for a single month, according to the Japan Tourism Agency.
The number of foreign visitors to Japan has been increasing, and duration of stays lengthening, against the backdrop of the weak yen and other factors, the agency said May 31 in announcing the figures. It said comparable data is only available as far back as 2010. According to the agency’s monthly survey on overnight travel statistics, the number of overnight stays in April increased 11.9 percent from the same month last year to a total of 50.96 million. Foreign nationals accounted for 25.8 percent of the total. It marked the second consecutive month for the number of foreign overnight guests to reach a record high. https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/15289485
