Japan saw an influx of foreign visitors in the first quarter of 2025, with the number surpassing 10.53 million at the fastest pace ever recorded. According to the Japan National Tourism Organization, this marked the shortest period on record to reach the 10 million mark. In March alone, Japan welcomed 3.49 million foreign visitors, a 13.5% increase from the previous year. This surge contributed to the rapid accumulation of visitor numbers. The increase in tourism was driven by the cherry blossom season, which traditionally boosts visitor numbers. Notably, there was a significant rise in visitors from China, with a 46.2% increase to 661,700 people in March, attributed to more frequent flights. South Korea led the visitor count with 691,700 arrivals, up 4.3% from last year. Foreign visitor spending in Japan during the first quarter reached 2.27 trillion yen, a 28.4% increase from the previous year, fueled by higher expenditures on accommodation and dining.
