The number of foreign tourists who visited Japan in June is estimated to be about 9,000, which is a record low level, and the impact on related industries such as tourism is likely to continue.
According to the Japan National Tourism Organization, the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan in June was estimated to be 9,300, a slight increase from the same month last year, but compared to the same month before the spread of the new coronavirus. With a significant decrease of 99.7%, the record low level continues.
By country or region, China has 2000 people, the United States has 1200 people, and South Korea has 800 people.
The government completely restricts foreigners from entering Japan, except for "special circumstances" such as re-entry of foreigners with a status of residence and funerals of relatives.
For this reason, foreign tourists who arrived in June are expected to be limited to expatriates, their families, and international students, not for tourism or business purposes.
The number of foreign tourists this month is expected to increase temporarily due to the large number of athletes and staff entering the country in time for the Tokyo Olympics, which will start on the 23rd, but the recovery of tourists other than those involved in the Games is expected. In a situation where it cannot be expected, the impact on related industries such as tourism is likely to continue.
