The number of Japanese visitors to South Korea increased by more than four-and-a-half percent last month compared to a year ago.
According to the Korea Tourism Organization on Monday,... the figure for August came to almost 330-thousand.
In contrast, the number of South Koreans going to Japan was down.
According to the Japan National Tourism Organization, around 309-thousand South Koreans went to Japan in August, down 50 percent on year.
Many South Koreans are boycotting Japanese products and canceling plans to travel to Japan in protest against Tokyo's recent trade curbs on Seoul.
