BEIJING - Japan is expected to get back on the tourist map of Chinese visitors after a temporary plunge caused by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami and the nuclear crisis at the Fukushima Daiichi plant.
The Consulate-General of Japan in Shanghai accepted visa applications from a group of tourists from Zhejiang province last Friday who want to visit Tokyo.
According to Kyodo News, the 30-member tour group will arrive at Tokyo's Haneda Airport on May 23 and leave Japan from Kansai International Airport on May 28.
