TripAdvisor also announced the top 10 destinations in the winter holiday season from December 2015 to February 2016, based on access date to TripAdvisor in October 2015. The result shows that popularity of Japan rises as tourist destinations, as five Japanese cities are in the top 10 including Osaka of No.1. Interestingly, Sapporo or Kyoto is ranked higher than Tokyo, which may represent that many Chinese travelers are interested in other cities than Tokyo.
