Japan attracts more and more international visitors each year. According to data gathered by the Japan National Tourism Organization, or JNTO, Japan welcomed 31 million visitors in 2018, which is 8.7% more than the previous year.

And, among these foreign travelers, more than 1.7 million were from the United States. From January to December of 2018, around 130,000 to 150,000 Americans visited Japan each month, with the numbers peaking during the summer months, and the sakura and autumn foliage seasons.

Recently, JNTO released information on the tourist traffic for the start of 2019. For January, they recorded 103,200 Americans visiting Japan, a 12.2% increase from the 92,014 US visitors recorded for the same month of the previous year.

Because Japan is hosting two major worldwide events soon —- the 2019 Rugby World Cup from September to November of 2019, and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics from July to August of 2020 — a rush of tourists from all parts of the globe is expected starting from around summer time this year to autumn next year.

If you have plans to go to Japan soon, whether to watch the best athletes in the world in action or to experience the unique and vibrant culture that this country has to offer, you should consider getting a Japan SIM Card. With one in hand, you can make the most out of your vacation time.
