Interest in holidays to Japan is back up despite this year’s earthquake and tsunami, according to TripAdvisor.

Searches for Japan have been on the rise since hitting a low in May, hitting their highest level in October.

A recent TripAdvisor survey also revealed that the vast majority of British travellers see no issue now in visiting to Japan – 80% of respondents said they would feel safe travelling to the country.

“Japan is a beautiful country with plenty to offer the discerning traveller,” commented Emma Shaw, TripAdvisor spokesperson.

“We’re happy to see that after such a tough time, tourism interest in the country has recovered.”
