The fact that the number of Chinese visitors has recently been increasing more rapidly than any other group of tourists from overseas has drawn a great amount of attention in the Japanese tourism industry. The purpose of this study is to examine the status of their travel behavior and expenditures, using a Chinese family of visitors to Japan as a case study. A time-use survey was used as the study method, with a Chinese family visiting Japan as the subject. The results of our analysis showed a tendency to try to save travel costs, as well as a tendency to go to many sightseeing places and to try to ensure the greatest possible amount of time for sightseeing.
