最新报道:Asian tourism to Japan declined sharply in Q2 2025, with visitor numbers dropping 18% year-over-year, according to Japan National Tourism Organization data. Analysts attribute the slump to a viral manga storyline predicting a major earthquake hitting Tokyo this summer, which spread widely on social media despite government reassurances. The tourism dip particularly affected Tokyo-area businesses, with hotel occupancy rates falling to 65% compared to 82% last year. Industry experts note this marks Japan's first significant tourism downturn since the 2020 pandemic, with airlines reporting 23% fewer advance bookings from key Asian markets through August.
