Nope, calling bull on this. Not by a long shot. Japan has been a major international tourist destination, particularly in the winter for at least 20 years.

Well, the graph on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism_in_Japan does seem to suggest in 2017 there were 20 million more foreign tourists in the year compared with 2010, an increase of about 250%.

BS, but until 2012 tourism had not increased by much, then exploded quickly. Went from about 8M to 28M in 5 years
