Why is there a Japanese translation on the introduction of tourist attractions?

Because there are many Japanese tourists visiting China, for the sake of convenience, there are generally Japanese translations in the introduction of scenic spots.

Japanese (Japanese /にほんご Nihongo_), referred to as Japanese, is the language mainly used by Yamato people on Japanese islands. Almost all Japanese nationals born and raised in Japan speak Japanese as their mother tongue.

In the field of Japanese grammar, unless otherwise specified, the word "Japanese" generally refers to modern standard Japanese based on the middle-class dialect in the Edo Yamanote area (now around the center of Tokyo), and is sometimes called "* * * lingua franca".
