According to data released by the Japan National Tourism Organization on the 19th, the number of visitors to Japan from mainland China fell 56.3% year on year in the first 7 months of this year. Among them, July fell 56.1% year on year, which is the 8th consecutive month of year-on-year decline. Since Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae made erroneous remarks about Taiwan, the number of mainland Chinese tourists visiting Japan has continued to decline. According to the “Nihon Keizai Shimbun” report on the 19th, mainland Chinese tourists accounted for 10.1% of the total number of foreign visitors to Japan in the first seven months of this year, far lower than 22.8% in the same period in 2025. There was also a year-on-year decline in the total number of foreign visitors to Japan in the first seven months of this year. Some analysts believe that according to current trends, the number of foreign visitors to Japan in 2026 may be lower than the previous year, and will drop again after a lapse of 5 years.
