The latest Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) report finds that visitors from Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia each reached record-high for June. For the first half of 2015 (January to June 2015), visitors from all of four Southeast Asia markets including Indonesia broke the previous records.
In June 2015, Japan welcomed 43,400 visitors from Thailand (+19.5%), 29,200 visitors from Singapore (+25.3%), 18,500 visitors from Malaysia (+8.6%) and 17,100 visitors from Indonesia (+9.2%).
The following table shows monthly results in the last 12 months:
JNTO said that Thai travelers to Hokkaido increased because they have already recognized that June is the best month to travel in Hokkaido. In Singapore, a good holiday sequence including the national holiday on June 1 in addition to a variety of promotional campaigns motivated travelers to go Japan. From Malaysia, many incentive tours of domestic companies visited Japan. Travelers from Indonesia to Japan resulted in year-on -year growth despite overall reduction of overseas travelers from Indonesia.
