- Tokyo recorded 4.34M foreign overnight stays in June 2025, +7.9% year-on-year — reflecting continued momentum across global source markets.
- India reached 86K stays (ranked #9), its highest single-month Tokyo figure on record, reflecting emerging long-haul demand from India's growing upper-middle class.
- South Korea ranked #3 at 310K (-11.8% YoY) — holding ground in the typically softening summer-entry period before holiday season.
- Western long-haul markets — USA, UK, Australia, Canada — were key drivers of broad-based growth as the weak JPY sustained Japan's price competitiveness.
Tokyo Foreign Overnight Stays: June 2025
Tokyo prefecture recorded 4.34M foreign overnight stays in June 2025, a +7.9% year-on-year increase from 4.03M in June 2024. June's USA vs China near-parity (902K vs 868K) and India's emergence as #9 are the defining structural stories of mid-2025.
USA Barely Edges China in Race to #1 — 902K vs 868K Stays
June 2025 produced one of the most competitive source-market match-ups in Tokyo's overnight stay history: USA and China separated by just 33K stays — 902K vs 868K — with USA retaining #1 by the narrowest margin of 2025.
The 4.34M total (+7.9% YoY) reflects the pre-summer buildup phase in Tokyo, with the tsuyu (rainy season) typically dampening some demand relative to April-May peaks. Despite this, the June 2025 figure surpassed June 2024 significantly across most Western markets.
USA (902K, +21.9% YoY) benefited from US summer vacation season beginning, with school breaks driving family and young adult travel to Tokyo.
China (868K, -0.5% YoY) grew YoY as boycott pressure modestly softened relative to Q1 2025. Chinese international tourism tends to pick up in June as the Dragon Boat Festival holiday drives short outbound trips.
India at 86K stays emerged as a notable story — ranking #9 in Tokyo's source market hierarchy, a position India has historically not held. The growth reflects India's expanding middle class, Air India and IndiGo route expansions, and the aspirational value of Tokyo as a travel destination.
Revenue Management Implications
June's near-parity between USA and China signals a healthy diversification of Tokyo's demand base. Hotels should maintain strong USD and CNY rate parity coverage. India's emergence as a top-10 market warrants adding MakeMyTrip/Cleartrip OTA channels to Tokyo hotel distribution strategies for the first time.
