Japan prepares for more foreign tourists
1. JAPAN IS endowed with an embarrassment of riches. Beyond the skyscrapers and Shibuya crossing in Tokyo, there are sublime temples and gardens in Kyoto, pristine tropical beaches in Okinawa and some of the world's best skiing in Hokkaido. Activities abound, from sumo wrestling and baseball to onsens (hot springs) and karaoke, complemented by sushi and sake. So it makes sense that Japan's companies and government see tourism as a key source of cash, especially as the archipelago's population shrinks (by around 1,000 people a day) and gets ever more wrinkly (the median age is 47). They aim to welcome 40m visitors a year by 2020.
