Abstract
The aim of this research is to uncover what kind of factors affect the number of overnight tourists in Japan from China, Korea and Taiwan, which has a large impact on the amount of tourist consumption in Japan, through statistical analysis of data, including an accommodation travel survey by the Japan Tourism Agency. The main results of this research are as follows: exchange fluctuation affects tourists from Taiwan the most; direct flights have a great effect on tourists from all three countries; and the most famous travel tour, “The Golden Route,” including Tokyo, Mt Fuji, Kyoto and Osaka, has a greater effect on tourists from China.
