TBH, diversifying away from Chinese tourists is a good idea. With the CCCPs views on Japan relations they could easily turn off this revenue stream whenever they feel.
In addition, of all the major groups of inflow tourists, the Mainland Chinese travellers seem to feature more often in the media for negative reasons.
Copium.
If they’d end tax free purchases for Chinese tourists there’d be even less. Good riddance!

Good. Chinese tourists are the worst.
Disregarding what the individuals behavior’s like, the fact that they are always in such massive groups is annoying as hell when you try to navigate around them.
Clean air, low crime, food that doesn’t kill you and polite people make Japan a perfect tourist destination.
I prefer that honestly anyways.
What’s not mentioned in the article it seems is that there are far fewer flights now than there were in 2019 between Japan and China, so flights are more expensive and less room for groups
Source: Travel frequently between the two and have for years. I’d guess there are less than half the CN > JP flights there were in 2019
Good, we should definitely move away from any sort of reliance on China when their government can randomly decide to null/ban anything they want and we can’t do anything about it. We should tighten relationships with Taiwan and Korean and other SEA countries instead
Well China is suffering from the gloomy economic forecast as jobs are cut and manufacturers are closing shops.
How about Filipino
Taiwan tourists are incredibly polite from my experience, lovely guests.
Good we love Taiwan 🇹🇼 they are independent from the ccp
Back in 2019 it was Chinese tourists making up for the drop in Korean tourists
Edit: It just shows the power of propaganda. Back in 2019, the S.Korean government used the Japan-S.Korea trade dispute to distract people from internal problems, they spread anti-Japan propaganda and promoted that boycott movement against Japan which resulted in the drop of Korean tourists, now China is spreading propaganda about Fukushima issue and encouraging anti-Japan sentiment to distract people from internal problems, this resulted in the drop of Chinese tourists.
In other words the sun will rise tomorrow
A win win
Korean tourists in Japanese are not far off etiquette from the Chinese. Taiwanese seem to be more well behaved
When I was visiting Japan for the first time last summer, I was on the subway and there was this guy, talking extremely loudly on the phone in Chinese, on speakerphone. Otherwise perfectly silent car as you’d expect. He just kept blabbering at maximum volume. When I got off I got his attention as I passed and called him an asshole, he seemed taken aback. Do they really have no awareness?
The Korean aunties doing those huge group tours I had the pleasure of meeting in Shirakawa-go last year weren’t all that different from the Chinese aunties doing those huge group tours I had the pleasure of meeting in Kyoto in 2019 lol
This is a win-win for everyone. Tourism money is still coming in and misbehaving adult children are staying home.
