Akihabara tour service most used by Hongkongers
The Tourism Industry Association of Japan conducted a survey early this year on the New Discovery of Akihabara tour that started regular service in July last year has found that the majority of the participants have been people from Hong Kong, followed by Singaporeans, Americans, and Australians.
There were even participants from Slovenia and Iceland apparently.
On the other hand, the survey period was during the Chinese New Year holidays in China, but there were no participants from China. The reason for this was because people from China tend to visit Japan via tour groups and there weren’t many that visited Akihabara on an individual basis. However they expect that the numbers will rise when individual tour visas are allowed in the future.
They had an average of 11 participants for each tour, I didn’t know there were so many tourists visiting…
