Foreign visitors to Diet building hit record high in 2025

In 2025, the number of foreign visitors to Japan's National Diet Building reached 13,697, setting a new record since records began in 1993. This marks nearly double the previous year's figure of 7,261 and reflects broader trends of increasing inbound tourism, with 42.7 million foreign visitors to Japan in 2024. While overall visitor numbers to the building have historically fluctuated between 600,000 and 900,000, foreign visitors saw a significant increase, with the percentage of foreign tourists among all visitors hitting a record high of 1.86%. The surge is attributed partly to the building's location near popular tourist areas like Ginza and Akasaka, and the availability of English-language tours in the lower house.
