From Nikkei Asian Review:
“Foreign tourist consumption in Japan — including travel expenditures while in the country — totaled 4.5 trillion yen in 2018, up about 30% from 2015. Consumption in rural areas soared at a much faster pace, nearly 60%, during the same period.
More foreign tourists are finding their way out of the Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka metropolitan areas. In 2018, 18 million foreign tourists trekked into rural areas, about 5 million more than those who simply enjoyed city indulgences. The gap is wider than it was in 2015, when 10.2 million foreign tourists ventured into the countryside and 9.5 million contented themselves in one of the big burgs.”

From AsianPrivateBanker.com:
Odyssey Asset Management, the wealth management subsidiary of alternative asset manager Odyssey Group, has hired a former Indosuez WM banker to build out its NRI division, Asian Private Banker can reveal.
Mullikkottu Veetil Ramadasan has joined Odyssey Asset Management as senior director and head of the NRI division and has been tasked with hiring a team of India private bankers to build out the firm’s NRI client base.
Ramadasan will be based out of Hong Kong and will cover the Hong Kong, Singapore, and Dubai markets, among others.
A spokesperson for the IAM confirmed the hire.
Ramadasan has over 35 years of industry experience and, in addition to Indosuez WM, previously worked with the likes of EFG Bank, J Safra Sarasin, and UBS.
In April, the Odyssey Group launched CapConnectAsia, an Asia-focused third-party fund distribution platform for the region’s family offices and institutional investors. Shortly after the launch, it hired former Standard Chartered private banker Peter Stertzenbach as director of private clients.
“In the coming years, more Southeast Asian countries will reach a level of economic development that will leave their citizens with enough discretionary income to start indulging their travel fantasies. As more Southeast Asians take to the sky, they will go a long way toward helping Japan reach its goal of boosting the number of foreign tourists to 60 million by 2030.”

From Asia.Nikkei.com:
“Thai tourists to Japan topped 1 million in 2018, while their Vietnamese and Filipino counterparts also came over in large numbers. What is even better for Japan’s economy is that many of these travelers ended up in stores, where they were not shy about spending.”
“In the coming years, more Southeast Asian countries will reach a level of economic development that will leave their citizens with enough discretionary income to start indulging their travel fantasies. As more Southeast Asians take to the sky, they will go a long way toward helping Japan reach its goal of boosting the number of foreign tourists to 60 million by 2030.”

From Bloomberg.com:
“Private equity funds like Softbank-owned Fortrsess Investment Group LLC and Hong Kong-based Odyssey Capital Group are spending billions to tap into the appeal of traditional inns amid a tourism boom that’s ramping up ahead of next year’s Tokyo Olympics. The big funds are moving in as centuries-old spas, many of them still family-run, struggle to find successors in an aging country where small towns and villages are losing young people.”
“ Odyssey, along with two other investors, last year purchased its first Japanese onsen, an inn with 28 tatami-floored guest rooms near the Sea of Japan called Kagetsu, or “flowering moon.” Christopher Aiello, managing director of Odyssey’s Japan real estate business, says the firm plans to spend $500 million in the next three years buying about 20 more traditional Japanese hotels, which are known as ryokan.”
