How the Fed’s Decision to Hold Interest Rates Could Benefit Domestic Travel in Japan?

投稿日: 2026.10.29 作成者: denku
At its latest policy meeting, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) decided to keep interest rates unchanged. However, two committee members supported a 0.25-percentage-point rate hike. With the Fed’s final policy meeting of this year scheduled for December 8–9, some market participants believe that another 0.25-percentage-point rate increase may be on the horizon.

Meanwhile, Japan’s current policy interest rate stands at 1.25%, leaving a substantial interest rate gap of approximately 2.50–2.75 percentage points between Japan and the United States.

In international financial markets, the flow of money often works in the opposite direction to the flow of water, which naturally moves from higher ground to lower ground. Rather than flowing from high-interest-rate countries to low-interest-rate countries, capital tends to seek out countries offering higher returns. As a result, the significant interest rate advantage enjoyed by the United States may encourage further investment in U.S. dollar-denominated assets rather than Japanese yen-denominated assets, potentially contributing to a stronger U.S. dollar and a weaker Japanese yen.

For international visitors, this favorable exchange rate can make a trip to Japan considerably more affordable, providing an added financial incentive to explore the country.

So, why not take advantage of the current weak yen and come experience the breathtaking autumn foliage and invigorating trekking trails of Aso, Japan? Immerse yourself in the region’s spectacular natural beauty, enjoy the crisp autumn air, and discover the unique charm of this remarkable destination.

 

We sincerely look forward to welcoming you to Aso and hope your visit will be an unforgettable experience!

Finally, just a little note about the weather: the temperature in Aso was only 5°C (41°F) again this morning!

So, please be sure to dress warmly and enjoy the breathtaking, awe-inspiring natural beauty of Aso to the fullest.

Until next week’s blog, take good care of yourselves and stay healthy!

Bye-bye, everyone! 👋👋👋
