Yano Research Institute has been publishing this report on leisure industry for 35 years. As lifestyles and Japanese perceptions of leisure time have changed over the years, the leisure industry has grown in importance, becoming an integral part of people’s lives. While industries that once fueled the rapid growth of the Japanese economy, such as manufacturing, have matured, the leisure industry (tourism, amusement, culture) has emerged as one of a major driver of the Japanese economy.
However, as demand for leisure increases, consumers have become more selective. The more the public demand diversifies, the faster the pace of unattractive or unreasonable services become obsolete.
The Leisure Industry 2025 report aims to provide a comprehensive view of the leisure industry by exploring its current state and how it is adapting to changing times and trends.
