According to a survey by relevant authorities on “the most desired travel destinations for 2015,” 39.6% of Chinese tourists chose Japan as their top pick, marking an increase of over 10 percentage points compared to the previous year. Additionally, starting from January 19, 2015, Japan relaxed the visa application requirements for individual Chinese tourists, which is certain to push Chinese travel to Japan to yet another peak.
As cherry blossoms gradually come into full bloom, the Shinjuku Takashimaya Cherry Blossom Festival held from March 18 to April 12 has drawn considerable attention from travelers. Shinjuku Gyoen in Japan is an ideal spot for cherry blossom viewing, attracting a large influx of Chinese tourists who flock there to admire the blossoms and take photos. Moreover, at the exit of Meiji Dori on the first floor of Shinjuku Takashimaya, a blooming information board is set up, providing daily updates in both Chinese and English on the flowering status of Shinjuku Gyoen, making travel planning more convenient for visitors.
