According to the data collected, on November 15 active ticket bookings to Japan fell from 1.5 million to 1 million bookings two days later.Li then concluded that around 500 thousand trips had been cancelled.

.
Furthermore, he said active ticket orders usually fell by around five percent every day.However, from November 15-17 the decrease in active tickets was up to 33 percent.
Several Chinese airlines, including the three largest airlines, are offering full refunds for flights to Japan booked through December 31.
China-based travel agents gave mixed reactions to the travel advisory.
One major state-owned tourism company removed all travel options to Japan from its app, while another Beijing-based agency no longer accepted bookings from Japan.
Tourists from China are the largest number of visitors to Japan.During the first nine months of 2025, as many as 7.5 million residents of the Bamboo Curtain Country visited Sakura Country.
This ticket cancellation came after China issued a travel ban warning to Japan last week.
China asks its citizens to avoid traveling to Japan.In a post on social media, the Chinese Embassy in Japan warned its citizens not to travel to the neighboring country, which is one of its favorite destinations.
“Recently, the Japanese leader has openly made provocative statements regarding Taiwan, damaging the climate of people-to-people relations between the two countries,” read a statement from the Chinese Embassy in Japan as quoted by The Guardian.
The travel ban occurred after China was angry with Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s statement.The woman had said that an armed attack on Taiwan could be the basis for Japan to deploy troops as part of the concept of collective defense.
China did not accept this statement and asked the Japanese PM to withdraw his comments.However, Takaichi was reluctant to do so and said his words were in accordance with principles.
In the midst of the dispute, Chinese Consul General in Osaka Xue Jian threatened to behead Takaich on social media.This time, it was Japan who was furious.They consider it inappropriate for diplomats to post such statements.
