According to the report, the estimated number of foreign visitors to Japan in October surged 17.6 percent from a year earlier to 3,896,300, marking a record high for the month, the Japan National Tourism Organization said Tuesday.
The report also stated that the cumulative number of visitors from abroad in January-October totaled 35,547,200. The annual number of visitors to Japan is highly likely to exceed 40 million for the first time in 2025.
The report added that the cumulative figure for the first 10 months of this year, the number of visitors from mainland China was the largest, at about 8.2 million, up 40.7 percent year-on-year, and accounting for some 20 percent of the total.
The report also said that Japan, through its Prime Minister, hopes to see visitors coming to the country to boost their tourism industry.
Additionally, despite the possible impact of the Chinese government's call, Japan Tourism Agency Commissioner Shigeki Murata said at a press conference, stating that Chinese must avoid visiting Japan. This cannot decrease the interest of foreigners in visiting Japan.
Meanwhile, the estimated number of Japanese nationals who traveled abroad in October rose 8.3 percent to 1,243,600.
