Tokyo, January 22 (Xinhua) — The number of visitors from mainland China to Japan fell by 45.3 percent in December 2025 compared to the same period a year earlier, the Japan National Tourism Organization reported on Wednesday.
According to its data, the number of tourists from mainland China fell to approximately 330,400 people in December 2025.
The decline became noticeable after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi made erroneous statements regarding Taiwan last November. The number of visitors from mainland China fell from 715,700 in October to 562,600 in November.
Japanese media and experts note that tensions in relations between Beijing and Tokyo, which arose after the Japanese prime minister's erroneous statements, have had a negative impact on many sectors of the Japanese economy and society, including retail, hospitality, and food services.
Japan's largest travel agency, the Japan Travel Bureau Foundation, forecasts a 3 percent decline in tourist arrivals in 2026 amid uncertainty over visits from mainland China.
