Japanese tourists's most popular countries? 2014/5/27 04:56
Hi,

I would like to know what are the most popular countries where Japanese tourists go.
If someone has a web link with numbers, statistics, thanks in advance.

By the way, I hear that a lot of Japanese tourists visit Hawaii. But actually I don't know if those tourists are accounted in the "tourists who visit the USA".

I couldn't find the statistics regarding the Japanese tourists's most popular places, but I could find, on the other hand, the arrival of tourists in Japan per country. The main source of tourists in Japan is China. The main "western" source of tourists is USA.

Thanks for your help

But the statistic doesn't indicate whether those visitors are tourist, business or others.

Soryy, the line was "International visitors to Japan".

Here is the "Japanese Tourists departed overseas" from JTB institution.

Thank you for your links !

So it seems like China has become the favorite destination for Japanese tourists.

Moreover, regarding non-Asian countries, USA is the most visited country.

It's quite similar with the "tourists's arrival in Japan" numbers
