About

Tourism in Japan has a vibrant domestic sector and eight million foreign visitors each year. It has sites such as Kyoto World Historical Site, attractions in Tokyo (see Tourism in Tokyo) and Nara, Mount Fuji, ski resorts such as Niseko in Hokkaidō, Okinawa, the shinkansen and a well-developed hotel and onsen network.Tourism remains a vital part of the Japanese economy and society. Schoolchildren in many middle schools see the highlight of their years as a visit to Tokyo Disneyland or perhaps Tokyo Tower in the city. High school students visit Okinawa or Hokkaidō. The extensive rail network together with domestic flights sometimes in planes with modifications to favor the relatively short distances involved in intra-Japan travel allows efficient and speedy transport. In inbound tourism, Japan was ranked 28th in the world in 2007.
