International Visitors

According the news, Japan achieved 10 million international visitors last year. Everywhere I go, I see foreigners and hear other languages. The reasons are the weakening yen, recovery from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, and easing visa regulation for Southeast Asian countries. Although the government is now aiming to double its goal to 20 million, and drawing in 30 million by 2030!!!

I think it's a good thing and that the number of visitors will be definitely increase because the Tokyo Olympics will be held on 2020. But it also made me think that the government has a strong attitude:) I think there are still some problems remaining among the rapid progression of internationalization, such as security and environment.
