Many Japanese travel to China every year. Why do they seldom hear the Japanese coming?

Where does the data come from? Official website, the official residence of the Japanese Prime Minister.

In 20 15, the number of Japanese tourists to China was more than 2.497 million.

In 20 16, the number of Japanese tourists from China was 6.37 million. The difference is about 2-3 times, which is not bad for a country with a population difference of 13 times. The proportion of Japanese tourists coming to China is also quite high.

There may be several reasons why the Japanese come less.

China is too big, and Japanese tourists are scattered everywhere, which makes you feel that there are not many people.

There is not so much movement in Japan with group tours. Most of them are self-help tours, and tourists are relatively low-key. I don't think so.
