Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) announced that the number of international arrivals in Japan in August 2025 was up 16.9% year on year to 3,428,000, exceeding 3 million for the first time for August. After the single-digit growths for the past two months, the growth rate returned to double-digit again.
JNTO said that visitors from East Asia, U.S., Europe, Australia and Middle East increased due to the school holiday season. Visitors from Taiwan and Spain were record-high on a single month basis, and those from 18 source markets reached record-high for August.
The largest origin market was China with 1,018,600 visitors (up 36.5% year on year), followed by South Korea with 660,900 (up 8%), Taiwan with 620,700 visitors (up 10%), Hong Kong with 226,100 visitors (down 8.3%) and U.S. with 194,500 visitors (up 11.7%).
On the contrary, visitors from Singapore were down 17.3% to 20,500. JNTO analyzed that Singapore people seemed to hesitate to travel abroad because August 2025 was the 60th anniversary of the founding of the nation.
The following graphs show international arrivals by month and by source market.
