During the GW period, popular facilities and experiences with good suburban views are popular, not only in urban areas but also in the suburbs, as compared to the annual search volume.

The Top 10 popular spots and experiences in the metropolitan area for 2022 include famous facilities such as Tokyo Disneyland and teamLab, as well as Shibuya Sky, which opened in 2019 and is popular among visitors.

During the GW period, there is a greater focus on popular facilities and experiential activities that offer good suburban views, such as the Mount Fuji Day Tour, Kawaguchiko, Mt. Fuji Flower Festival Tour, and Hitachi Seaside Park & Ashikaga Flower Park, in addition to urban areas.

Tokyo Disneyland, Universal Studios Japan, and teamLab continue to be popular attractions!

Foreign visitors from Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the United States have the highest search volumes for Japan by country for 2022.

During the GW period, the top 10 countries searching for Japan are Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, the United States, Australia, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Canada.

Tokyo Disneyland, Universal Studios Japan, and teamLab continue to maintain their popularity, which may explain the trend of focusing on Tokyo and Osaka for 2022.

However, compared to annual search volumes, suburbs near Tokyo are ranked higher during the GW period in 2023, possibly due to an increase in foreign visitors' length of stay.

There is not much change in search volumes by country or region annually or during the GW period, but Canada ranks during the GW period. This may be due to a significant increase in tourists from the United States, Canada, Australia, and the Middle East.

Here is an introduction to noteworthy facilities.

Apart from being home to the symbol of Japan, the Mt. Fuji area offers several attractions that appeal to foreign visitors such as outlets and hot springs. The convenience of a direct bus from Tokyo is the key reason for its popularity. The number of foreign tourists visiting the Fuji area during the GW period is on the rise, making it an excellent travel destination both within and outside the city center.

Kimono rentals boast unwavering popularity as something unique that visitors to Japan can experience. Kimonos that shine in photos and videos for posting on social media are always ranked high!
