Guest nights in hotels and inns of all types, divided by days in the month. "vs 2024" compares foreign guests per day with the same month of 2024 (2024 was a leap year). City-hotel occupancy is shown where the agency publishes it. Whole-prefecture figures: a single famous spot can be busier than this. Method and sources.
