Japan hikes visa fees amid tourism surge
Japan has increased visa fees by up to 400% starting from July, in an effort to cover the rising costs resulting from the surge in tourist numbers. The number of visitors increased from 36.8 million in 2024 to 42.6 million in 2025, despite attempts to support the weak currency. This comes amid a tourism boom and pressures on infrastructure, with the percentage of foreigners among those leaving Japan rising to 74%, as the Japanese economy benefits from this tourist growth.
