Many Americans are visiting Japan this year because the Japanese yen is so weak compared to the U.S. dollar. This makes traveling to Japan very cheap for Americans. For example, in the first five months of 2024, over 900,000 Americans visited Japan by air, which is 17.4% more than last year and 35.5% more than before COVID-19.The weak yen is a big reason for this increase, as it gives Americans more spending power.
In addition to Americans, the demand for travel is growing in the Asia-Pacific region, with many visitors from China and North America.American hotel companies like Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, and Choice are expanding in Japan by partnering with local companies. Airbnb also saw a 130% increase in bookings by Americans in 2023.
Airlines are adding more seats to their flights. For example, United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and American Airlines have all increased the number of seats available for travel to Japan this summer. (Read more on the Japan Times at this link )
