Since Japan has been a hotbed for coronavirus cases, thanks to China, the number of visitors to Japan had plummeted during March.

NHK reported:

Japan's Immigration Services Agency says the number of foreigners who entered the country in March fell by more than 90 percent from the same month last year, due largely to refused entries attributed to the coronavirus. 

Preliminary data from the agency shows that 152,162 foreigners arrived in Japan. That number excludes people who were given permission to re-enter. The figure was 2,504,193 in March, 2019.
