Headline News for March 26, 2025



Travel reservation website 'WILLER TRAVEL' has compiled bus reservation status and announced that the number of reservations for spring break (March 20th to April 10th) is 125% higher than the same period last year, and that the most popular area, excluding intercity routes connecting Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka, is the Mt. Fuji and Fuji Five Lakes area. The popularity of the Mt. Fuji and Fuji Five Lakes area is believed to be due to the fact that it is known as a famous cherry blossom viewing spot, and that inbound tourists choose it because they can enjoy nature in the refreshing spring weather.

The top 10 cities from 2nd place onwards are Hiroshima (Hiroshima Prefecture), Takayama (Gifu Prefecture), Beppu (Oita Prefecture), Yufuin (Oita Prefecture), Kanazawa (Ishikawa Prefecture), Kumamoto (Kumamoto Prefecture), Shirakawa-go (Gifu Prefecture), Sendai (Miyagi Prefecture), and Toyako (Hokkaido), and are all popular places where you can feel Japan's history and hot spring resorts.

Travel portal site 'WILLER TRAVEL' summarizes inbound tourist trends during winter and spring break - Bus reservations this winter up 138% year-on-year, with the most popular area being the 'Mt. Fuji area' - | WILLER Co., Ltd.
