Cancellation of Chinese tourist's lodging To a nationwide situation survey Tourism Agency January 27 19:28

Due to the spread of new coronavirus infections and the continued cancellation of hotel reservations by Chinese tourists in Japan, the Japan Tourism Agency has to investigate the nationwide situation.

Due to the spread of the new coronavirus in China, travel agencies in China will cease group travel overseas, including Japan, for the time being on May 27. Many tourists have been canceled.

For this reason, the Japan Tourism Agency will check the status of cancellations nationwide through industry groups created at hotels and inns.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism said that during the Chinese New Year, approximately 400,000 passengers and 35,000 Chinese cruise ships would visit Japan during the Chinese New Year. Travel users account for about 30% of the total, and there is concern about the impact on hotel and inn businesses.
