A new survey published on Saturday (May 2) shows that top destinations for international travelers in Japan are heavily concentrated in just seven of the country's 47 prefectures. Specifically, 72 of the 100 most popular spots are located in areas such as Kyoto and Hokkaido.
The survey results underscore an imbalance in the distribution of foreign tourists, with the majority flocking to traditional tourism hotspots. The remaining prefectures account for only 28 spots on the list of the top 100 destinations.
Conducted by a tourism research organization, the survey draws on booking data, reviews, and visitor traffic from international tourists over the past year. The findings highlight the need to diversify destinations to ease pressure on crowded areas and promote sustainable tourism in Japan.
