A record number of visitors came to Japan in 2024, thanks to surging post-pandemic global tourism and a decline in the yen that’s making the island nation an attractive and affordable destination.
The number of foreign travelers rose 47% to a record 36.9 million last year, led by visitors from South Korea, Taiwan and China, figures released by the Japan National Tourism Organization showed on Wednesday. The previous record was 31.9 million visitors in 2019, just before Covid-19 shut down international travel.
