Chinese tourists during the Spring Festival... some areas have seen a reduction of nearly 10th, while other countries and regions have seen an increase of 8 times or 4 times. 'South Korean customers have increased by nearly 10 times.'
The Chinese Lunar New Year, "Spring Festival," began on the 17th in China.
As the Japan-China relationship deteriorates, the number of Chinese tourists visiting Japan is expected to decrease. However, when visiting a ryokan in Yonago City, Tottori Prefecture, the number of overnight guests from certain regions has dropped by nearly one tenth.
On the other hand, there are regions that have seen a sharp increase.

I'm staying at a ryokan in Iwate Onsen. Please take a look here. You can see the Japan Sea. It's luxurious.
"Minamiyama Yuzuki" hotel located in the hot spring area of Minamiyama, Yonago City.
The infinity open-air bath offers a view of the sea and the bath together, and all rooms offer an ocean view. Many tourists, not only from within the country but also from overseas, visit this unusual space, but this year there has been a change.

Chinese customers, and especially Hong Kong customers, have decreased significantly compared to the previous year.
The Japan-China relations suddenly cooled down following Prime Minister Takashima's remarks about the Taiwan issue.
As a result, the number of overnight visitors from Hong Kong had sharply decreased by about 10% compared to the same period last year.
Meanwhile, at this ryokan targeting individual travelers, the number of guests from China other than Hong Kong is almost the same as last year.
And then.

Customer numbers from South Korea have increased by nearly ten times. Also, customers from Taiwan have increased by about four times compared to the previous year.
The number of overnight visitors from South Korea, which started daily flights from Yonago to Soul last December, increased to about 100, eight times higher than the previous year, and those from Taiwan also rose to 81, nearly four times as much.
