Sankei Shimbun reported on Wednesday that the decision by Korean carriers to cut flights to Japan could hurt the nation's provincial tourism.
The Japanese newspaper attributed that decision to strained bilateral relationship that led to lower demand.
It pointed out, tour businesses in provincial areas would inevitably be affected by the change, as more than 60 routes to Japan from South Korea will see drastic reductions.
According to the Japan Tourism Agency, about 560-thousand South Koreans visited the country in July.
That's down 7-point-6 percent on-year.
