But inflation remains comparatively muted, and Japan remains one of the hottest markets in the region long-term, both for investment and tourism. Before conventions, groups and a bigger F&B venue spend can adjust the balance sheets, hotel operators across Japan continue to seek efficiencies across departments, particularly in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, where the dependency on international travelers had built up. During the pandemic, Japanese brands were generally seeing stronger rate growth as domestic travel prevailed, but in December and continuing into Q1 2023, international brands are growing rates faster. The luxury segment in many other countries has far surpassed 2019 levels, often by as much as 20% even when adjusted for inflation. In the first two months of this year, those metrics began to soften although we anticipate higher levels throughout the season following the current tourism growth trends. Known as Sakura, these trees also provide the perfect metaphor for the country’s hotel industry, which is beginning to show reasons for optimism after a later reopening than many parts of the world.

Thus, if Japan moves to weaken trade ties with China, it would severely batter the Japanese economy that is suffering a slow recession, Zhang said. The US has already called for a joint response to Chinese "economic coercion" in working-level talks with G7 nations. This will cause irreparable damage to the Japanese economy, according to experts. However, it's hard for G7 to reach an agreement on containment measures of raising tariffs, Zhou said. The blockade will only further stimulate China's resolve for self-reliance," Qin said.

China and Japan have carried out mutually beneficial cooperation so far, she said, adding that the restrictions Japan might take will not only harm regional and global semiconductor industry and supply chains, but will also hurt Japanese enterprises. The Chinese market accounts for a quarter of Japan's semiconductor equipment exports, Mao said. The rules, which will take effect in July, were seen as a move to artificially impose restrictions on semiconductor cooperation with China. Japan's export controls followed restrictions by the Netherlands on overseas sales of semiconductor technology last month, after the United States secured a deal with the two countries to restrict exports of some advanced chip-making machinery to China in January, Bloomberg reported. The country is also the largest export market for Japan's semiconductor industries, with annual exports to China exceeding $10 billion. China expressed strong dissatisfaction on Monday over Japan's export restrictions on semiconductor manufacturing equipment, hoping Tokyo would prudently make decisions and avoid complicating mutual trust and bilateral ties.
