Sports events and tourism in Japan

Overview

In September 2026, travel data indicated a significant surge in accommodation searches for Japan’s Aichi and Nagoya regions. This interest was driven by a major Asian sporting event scheduled for September and October 2026, with notable search increases in Toyota City and Ichinomiya City. International demand was particularly high from travelers in Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and China.

Concurrently, various regional sports festivals were scheduled for October 2026 across different prefectures. In Chiba Prefecture, the 9th Ichikawa Sports Festa was organized to include soccer, tennis, baseball, and basketball clinics. In Fukui Prefecture, the “AWARA-n Pick” festival was set to feature relay races, digital-integrated physical activities via a new “Spotech Park,” and street sports such as skateboarding and parkour.
