It is Izumo Airport of Shimane, Japan.

Even though it is a small country airport, low-cost airline that traveled to and from Korea since May has been irregular.

Large tourist buses that have been busy for a few months are lined up in the parking lot with no guests.

The number of Korean tourists who had been driven to Japan by the Sadhwa and JPY weakened since September last year when the so-called reconciliation and the healing foundation were announced.

In October, the number of visitors decreased more rapidly as the relationship between Korea and Japan was rapidly cooled by the ruling.

The number of Koreans who visited Japan in the first half of this year declined by 150,000.

It is only eight years since 2011 that the number of tourists per semester has decreased.

After the controversy over export regulation this month, the cancellation of tourist bookings is increasing even though it is summer season.

Unless there is a dramatic reversal of the export control situation, the decline in Japanese travelers is expected to continue for the time being.
