Japan has experienced a significant increase in foreign tourist numbers, with the Japanese National Tourism Organization (JNTO) announcing record-breaking figures for April. The country welcomed a staggering 3.91 million foreign visitors, marking a new high in the six-month season.
The surge in tourist numbers can be attributed to two primary factors: the cherry blossom season and the European Easter holidays. The allure of these cultural events, combined with the picturesque blossoms, drew visitors from around the globe.
Among the top countries contributing to this record-breaking influx were the UK and Germany. The UK had the second highest number of travelers to Japan in April, with 69,500 visitors, just behind Germany, which saw 57,200 and 57,100 travelers from France, respectively.
Germany's high number of travelers placed it ahead of other European countries, including Italy (45,600 travelers) and Spain (24,200 travelers), whose numbers combined were still less than those from Germany.
The popularity of Japan during this period was evident, with the number of travelers from Germany in April being one of the highest among European countries. The UK, with its 69,500 travelers, even held the title of having the highest number of tourists to Japan, just edging out Germany.
Despite the lack of direct data on the top tourist origin countries for Japan in April of the past year, it is clear that the country's appeal during the cherry blossom season and European Easter holidays was undeniable. The JNTO's announcement of these record-breaking foreign visitor numbers serves as a testament to Japan's growing status as a global tourist destination.
