Hi, I'm Koki. I want to talk about foreign visitors to Japan. Today, many people come
to Japan from foreign countries. The number of foreign visitors to Japan is becoming
larger every year. When we look at Table 1, we can find that the number of foreign
visitors to Japan became more than 20,000,000 in (). Also, the number of foreign
visitors in 2017 is more than three times larger than that in ( Ⓒ ),
What do foreign visitors want to do in Japan? When we look at Table 2, we can learn
that about 74% of the visitors to Japan 3want to ( ) ( ) ( ). About 58%
of them want to go shopping, and about 45% of them want to see nature in Japan. Visitors
from China are more interested in going shopping than visitors from other countries.
Visitors from America are more interested in seeing nature in Japan than in going
shopping.
From Table 2, we can also learn that about 35% of foreign visitors want to take a bath in
hot springs. That means some foreign visitors want to have special experiences in Japan.
They also enjoy staying in ryokan. Also, about 20% of foreign visitors want to have
traditional Japanese experiences. I heard that some foreign people try to make soba and
some foreign people try shodo.
Many foreign people go to small cities or towns to have those special experiences. But
they may have problems with language then. If foreign visitors and Japanese people can't
communicate with each other, foreign visitors can't realize their plans. Many people come
to Japan from various countries. Their language is not only English. But English is widely
used around the world. When the Olympic Games are held in Tokyo in 2020, more foreign
people will come to Japan. We may have chances to help foreign visitors then. I think
communicating with foreign visitors will be important. What should we do for it?
