Number of foreign visitors to Japan topped 3.29 million in July, the highest single month on record, and the fastest cumulative total from January to July.

The number of foreign visitors to Japan in July 2024 exceeded 3.29 million, a record high for a single month, and the total for the period from January to July was 21.06 million, the fastest time since the beginning of the year to surpass 20 million visitors. The increase in the number of visitors to Japan has been on a remarkable recovery trend, and the yen's depreciation is also serving as a tailwind.
