Japan is in the middle of an unprecedented tourism boom. In 2015 a record number of people visited Japan from overseas, and against this backdrop numerous uniquely Japanese services are emerging.

Another new trend sees traditional homes converted into guesthouses, offering visitors a chance to interact with local people.
