In recent years, Japan has experienced record-breaking growth in tourism from people from the United Kingdom.

In 2017, the Japan National Tourism Organization, or JNTO, recorded more than 28,600,000 international visitors, with over 310,000 of them coming from the UK. If you look at the trend over the last few years, Japan has been experiencing an annual increase of 6.2% of visitors from the UK, with 2017 being the first time in history that the number of UK tourists went over the 300,000 mark.

According to a Consumption Trend Survey for Foreigners Visiting Japan study conducted in 2017, the majority of UK tourists to Japan spent between 7 and 13 days in the country that year, and the rest chose to do 14- to 20- day or 4- to 6- day vacations.

Between 2018 and 2019, the rise in the number of tourists from the UK to Japan has continued to increase. In January of 2018, Japan welcomed 19,913 UK visitors, and a year later, the figure rose to 21,600, accounting for an 8.5% rise in a 12-month period.

And, because two major sporting events are set to be held in Japan within the next year or so — the 2019 Rugby World Cup and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, more tourists from the UK and other parts of the world are expected to arrive and cause a huge boost in the tourism figures.

In Japan, the major tourist cities, such as Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, are pretty easy to get around even for a newbie traveler who does not know any Japanese, as there are English signages at the airports, train stations, and sightseeing sites and attractions. However, if you want to ease your worries and fears more, you can look into getting a Japan SIM Card prior to your Japan trip.
