“I’m excited to share some positive news about Canadian tourism in Japan,” said Yuka Suzuki, executive director of the Japanese National Tourism Office of Toronto (JNTO). The news? In 2024, 580,000 Canadians visited Japan. A new record. This represents a 36 per cent increase for this year, and a 50 per cent jump compared to 2019 levels. “This momentum has continued into 2025, with visitor numbers from Canada consistently setting new records,” Suzuki said.
