Tokyo: An estimated 1,475,300 foreign citizens visited Japan in February, up about 88-fold from a year before, the Japan National Tourism Organization said Wednesday.

The February figure reached 56.6 pct of the level four years ago, before the spread of COVID-19. The rate rose from 55.7 pct in January.

The number of foreign visitors to Japan has been on the rise since the Japanese government significantly eased its COVID-19 border controls last autumn.
