This information was revealed at a recent Ha Noi-Japan investment conference in the captial city of Viet Nam. A total of nearly 600,000 Japanese visited Viet Nam last year, 7.8% more than in 2016.

The 1,000-year-old capital city welcomed 290,000 of them whilst Da Nang received 177,000 in total, according to the Viet Nam National Administration of Tourism.

The Japanese ambassador to Viet Nam, Mr Umeda Kunio, said an online survey of Japanese youngsters’ travel preferences found them saying Ha Noi and Da Nang have piqued their curiosity with their special culture, centuries-old heritages and world-renowned landmarks.

Japan is the third largest market for Viet Nam’s tourism sector behind China and South Korea, and the country is hopeful of receiving one million Japanese visitors this year.
