Popular Japan offers bang for your buck!

Japan is continuing to be a popular Asian destination for Aussie holidaymakers and part of that is the Yen.

New data released by Japan National Tourism Organisation (JNTO) shows the number of Aussies visiting Japan between January to March this year increased by 46.3 per cent compared to the same period in 2019, with visitors in March alone up a staggering 87.4 per cent compared to March 2019.

A key reason has been the historic low Japanese yen.

“The Australian dollar is purchasing much more JPY now compared to the lows we saw in the years leading up to the pandemic pause, and this favourable exchange rate makes Japan more affordable and accessible for Australian travellers,” JNTO Sydney Office executive director Naoki Kitazawa said.

Now is a great time to book one of our Japan pack-free guided walks. So where do we go?
