Japan inbound tourism and digital connectivity

Overview

International tourism in Japan is increasing, driven by seasonal attractions such as autumn foliage. Travelers are utilizing digital connectivity, specifically eSIM services, to manage logistics like railway schedules and hotel reservations while moving between urban and rural areas.

To support this growth, Japanese tech companies have introduced new data services to analyze tourist movement and demographics. Common Creation Co., Ltd. launched “Tabimetry,” which uses eSIM technology to collect movement data and traveler attributes via surveys, even in areas with weak GPS signals. Additionally, Navitime Japan released “Inbound Profiler Focus,” a web-based tool that uses GPS data and app-based surveys to help businesses monitor visitor numbers, nationality, and seasonal trends.
