Foreign Visitors to Japan Reach 3 Million in July: A Historic Peak
Record Surge in Foreign Visitors
In a striking development, foreign visitors to Japan reached 3.29 million in July, marking a historic increase of 41.9 percent compared to the previous year. This upswing represents the highest number of foreign tourists visiting in a single month, driven largely by the favorable exchange rate resulting from the weak yen.
Fueling the Tourism Boom
