Visitors to Japan this year have exceeded 30 million; last month, Taiwanese visitors hit a record high for the same period! ZH今年訪日旅客已破三千萬人次 上月台灣旅客則創歷年同期新高!
Newtalk新聞 日本政府觀光局今(21)日公布上月訪日旅客人數等報告。據統計,上月訪日旅客人數較去年同月減少5個百分點。截至9月底止,今年累積訪日旅客再度突破3,000萬人次。而台灣訪日旅客人數也歷年9月新高。 根據日本觀光局統計,9月訪日外國旅客人數為310萬3,700人,較去年同月減少5%。雖然較去年同期些微減少,不過,台灣、韓國、墨西哥及中東地區等7個市場,仍創下歷年9月最高紀錄。 京都清水寺。 圖:詹家威/攝(資料照) 此外,報告還指出,由於受惠先前於愛知縣舉辦亞洲運動會,吸引運動員及相關人士赴日。然而,受到中東局勢影響,致使機票價格推升、航空公司減班,以及颱風造成航班取消等因素影響,使得多數國家及地區之訪日旅客人數均低於去年同月。不過,統計也顯示,截至9月底,今年累計訪日外國旅客人數繼去年之後,再度突破3,000萬人次。 其中,訪日旅客前五大來源國家及地區依序為韓國84萬2,300人次、台灣59萬5,600人次、中華人民共和國43萬800人次、美國21萬7,500人次,以及香港14萬5,000人次。若跟去年同月增減幅來看,中東地區成長27%,增幅居冠;中華人民共和國則較去年同期大幅減少44.5%,減幅最大。 圖為東京六本木冬季點燈。 圖:詹家威/攝(資料照) 雖然中東地區訪日旅客人數才37,700人次,不過其增幅為所有國家及地區之最。日本政府觀光局分析,由於赴日旅遊熱潮持續,加上9月中旬以色列猶太教節日及航空公司增加航班等因素帶動,使得訪日旅客人數創下歷年9月最高紀錄。 至於減幅最大的中華人民共和國,日本政府觀光局分析,自去年11月以來,中華人民共和國多次發布赴日旅遊警示,呼籲民眾避免前往日本。儘管受到中秋節以及中華人民共和國國慶節連假等因素帶動,但由於航空公司減班等影響,訪日旅客人數仍低於去年同月。 台灣訪日旅客人數則較去年同月增加13.0%。日本政府觀光局分析,儘管受到颱風導致航班取消等因素影響,但赴日旅遊熱潮持續,加上中秋節與教師節形成的四天連假,以及航空座位供給量增加等因素帶動,使台灣訪日旅客人數創下歷年9月最高紀錄。延伸閱讀:難怪中國社保全面開徵! 張文靈涉挪7.32兆搞「權色交易」傳蔡奇愛將也落馬陳隨意驚傳身體亮紅燈!「聲帶病情惡化」全面停工動刀美期中選舉提前投票湧人潮!民主黨翻轉眾院機率達七成 川普砸逾4億美元助選翁曉玲唱「想見你」酸沈伯洋 綠委建議:快加入蔣萬安發言人團隊卓榮泰來要薪水了! 翁曉玲曝:政院昨來函要解凍

US and Japan wield 'Keen Sword'; Futenma's first elephant walk, JASDF Naha loads US NMESIS ZH美日揮「利劍」 普天間首次大象漫步、空自那霸裝載美NMESIS
Newtalk新聞 美日「利劍27」(Keen Sword 27)聯合演習進入高潮,雙方先後在沖繩展現空中與地面兵力投射能力:普天間基地舉行首次聯合「大象漫步」,那霸基地則由航空自衛隊C-130運輸機裝載美軍NMESIS反艦系統,為西南諸島部署準備。 由美國海軍陸戰隊第36航空大隊主導,20日與日本陸上自衛隊在普天間基地執行首次聯合「大象漫步」。共26架軍機緊密編隊滑行,包括美方5架CH-53超級種馬、9架MV-22魚鷹及1架眼鏡蛇攻擊直升機,日方則有OH-1忍者、AH-64阿帕契、V-22魚鷹、CH-47契努克與HH-60救援鷹等機種。這是該基地近年規模最大、也是首次美日聯合此類演練,目的在展示太平洋地區空中力量投射與雙邊協同能力,強化同盟在競爭或不確定局勢下的應對能量。 另一方面,日本航空自衛隊在那霸基地展開西南諸島部署準備,日本C-130運輸機裝載多輛聯合輕型戰術車輛(JLTV),其中最引人矚目的是美國海軍陸戰隊遠征艦艇攔截系統(NMESIS)。NMESIS為美軍新型地面反艦系統,可搭載海軍打擊飛彈,支援島嶼防衛與海上拒止,將首次部署於與那國島與石垣島,是美國海軍「分散式殺傷」(Distributed Lethality)概念的重要實踐者。 「利劍27」演習自10月19日起至29日止,為美日雙邊大型實動演習,約有4.5萬名日本自衛隊人員、約1.1萬至1.2萬名美軍,以及來自澳洲、加拿大、法國等7國部隊參與,重點演練西南諸島防衛、反艦、防空飛彈、兩棲與網路等領域,目的在提升同盟互通性與應對各種事態的共同應對能力。延伸閱讀:一天2架次運-9擾日 日防省:2026上半年442次緊急起飛99%應對中俄楊宏基觀點》「防衛台灣」是核心利益還是戰略負債?台灣不該「偏聽」楊宏基觀點》不只要錢還要人!這評估報告戳破明擺著卻沒人承認的現實你演習他偷看!美日「利劍」飛彈部署 解放軍無人機、直升機窺探10小時解放軍轟-6、空警-500等27架次出海 21架逾中線「遠距飛行」

Two Y-9 sorties disturb Japan in one day; Japan Ministry of Defense: 442 emergency scrambles in the first half of 2026, 99% responding to China and Russia ZH一天2架次運-9擾日 日防省:2026上半年442次緊急起飛99%應對中俄
Newtalk新聞 日本防衛省統合幕僚監部通報,20日有中國解放軍2架運-9巡邏機接近日本,先是上午有1架通過沖繩本島與宮古島之間進入太平洋,飛至奄美大島外海後折返,再次經同一海峽返回;下午另1架在長崎縣男女群島南方外海至沖繩本島西北外海間往返飛行後返回。而相關活動延續上半年趨勢,根據日本自衛隊紀錄,2026財年上半年(4月1日至9月30日),航空自衛隊共執行緊急起飛(scramble)任務442次,其中99%是應對中俄。 數據顯示,統合幕僚監部報告緊急起飛442次,較2025年同期265次增加約67%;其中,單單是應對中國軍機與無人機就多達285次,佔比約65%,超越前一年同期總數;而俄羅斯則從前一年的59次,大幅增加到152次,佔比約34%。有分析認為,主要是日本近年企圖修改憲法條文促使日本成為正常化的主權國家,擴大「對敵基地打擊」能力,引發中俄的反擊。日本防衛省《2026年防衛白皮書》指出,中俄在日本周邊反覆聯合轟炸機飛行與艦艇航行,「顯然意圖對日本進行示威活動,對日本安全構成重大關切」。 中國飛行主要集中東中國海(日本西南),包含對日本監視及無人機通過該區對台灣偵察;俄羅斯多在日本海與太平洋(北海道及本州北部附近)。南西方面隊201次(上年同期189次)、北部112次(上年53次)、西部102次(上年14次,增幅顯著,含聯合飛行)、中部27次(上年9次)。6月27日中俄聯合遠程飛行,中國轟-6轟炸機與殲-16戰機會合俄羅斯圖-95、圖-142及蘇-35,經沖繩-宮古附近進入菲律賓海,再飛越太平洋四國以南後返回;7月21日亦有俄圖-95與蘇-35在日本海上空。9月初運-9曾連續5日在東中國海飛行。報告列25起異常活動。本年尚未記錄實際侵入日本領空(12海里內)事件,緊急起飛主要針對防空識別區(ADIZ)活動。 下圖為2022至2026財年日本航空自衛隊緊急起飛數量,2026年上半年數字,「接近」2022年上半年,是在連續3年緩降情況下反轉陡升。若以應對對象:中國、俄羅斯與其他做為區分,可見中國的285次名列第3,次於2022及2023上半年;而俄國的152次則是統計期內新高。專家直言,日本在此區域面對可能聯手的中國、俄羅斯,西南與北方壓力持續,是相當緊迫的挑戰。 延伸閱讀:楊宏基觀點》「防衛台灣」是核心利益還是戰略負債?台灣不該「偏聽」楊宏基觀點》不只要錢還要人!這評估報告戳破明擺著卻沒人承認的現實楊宏基觀點》東海已成第三火藥引線 中國用敵國條款與海上民兵船牆「卡」日本探查馬毛島?4天4中國軍艦經大隅海峽東進太平洋民進黨示警中國介選手法:造假緋聞、假醜聞、動員在地協力者跟監暴力
