The number of foreign visitors to Japan in one month exceeded 2 million for the first time in 3 years and 5 months in June, according to the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO).
There were an estimated 2,073,300 foreign visitors for the month, the JNTO said Wednesday. The last time the monthly number topped 2 million was in January 2020, when it reached 2.66 million.
June's figure was 72% of that in June 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic struck the world. The amount of money spent by foreign visitors also continues to steadily recover.
