Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) reported that the number of Japanese overseas travelers in October 2019 was up 1.0% to year on year to 1,663,500, showing growths for 20 months in a row. The small growth rate resulted from influences by the 19th Typhoon Hagibis and heavy rain disasters. 

The total for the first ten months of 2019 was up 6.9% to 16,726,100. The yearly goal of 20 million will be accomplished with another 3.3 million in the rest of two months.
