Number of Japanese overseas travelers 2013-2022
In 2022, the number of Japanese travelling overseas amounted to approximately 2.8 million a fraction of what it was in 2019. With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, Japan's inbound and outbound travel shrank dramatically. In pre-COVID-19 times, popular destinations of Japanese tourists included the United States (esp. Hawaii) and regions in close proximity to the Japanese archipelago such as South Korea and Taiwan.
