34% increase in Korean visiting skiers/snowboarders


Recommended Posts

SJ#1 sent this on to me this evening and thought it might be of interest.

 

It seems that the official number of Koreans who visited Japan to ski/snowboard between December and March this past winter season was over 15,200 people, which is an increase of over 34% on last season.

 

By region:

 

Hokkaido - 4,047 ... (previous season 1,567)

Aomori - 1,599 ... (previous season 1,128)

Iwate - 2,539 ... (previous season 1,894)

Akita - 700 ... (previous season 1,083)

Yamagata - 2,809 ... (previous season 2,411)

Nagano - 2,683 ... (previous season 2,830)

Fukushima - 641 ... (previous season 155)

Toyama - 64 ... (previous season 155)

Niigata - 124 ... (previous season 64)

 

These numbers are coming from JNTO ( Japan National Tourist Organization www.jnto.go.jp )

No, not at the moment. I think I remember the people over at JNTO telling me that they only really have numbers for South Korea for some reason. I'll get back on this thread in the future if I can find out more.
