Amid a slow recovery of consumer demand, the total volume of domestic passenger
traffic in FY1994 increased by 1.1% over the previous year to 83.2 billion persons.
In terms of passenger/kilometers, the total volume stood at 1,367.4 billion
passengers/km, a 0.9% annual increase (Fig.
19, Table 11, Fig.
20).
By means of transport, railways and passenger ships marked declines because
of the Hanshin-Awaji Great Earthquake Disaster and other reasons. Commercial
automobiles also suffered a decline, but private passenger cars and airlines
showed increases (Table 11. Fig.
21, Fig. 22).
(2) International Transport
The number of Japanese who departed from Japan in 1994 (calendar year) stood
at 13.58 million persons, a record high for the third consecutive year and an
increase of 13.8% over the year before thanks to the opening of Kansai International
Airport, the strong yen, and other reason. The number of foreigners arriving
Japan rose by 1.7% to 3.47 million (Fig.
22, Fig23, Fig24).

an increase of 1.1%, reflecting a slow fall in equipment investment in the private
sector. In terms of tonnage-kilometers, the volume rose by2.2% to 547.5 billion.
This was the first increase in three years (Fig.
25. Table 12, Fig.
26, Fig. 27).
By means of transport, the volume in tonnage-kilometers for railways declined
because of the Great Disaster of Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake Disaster, etc. commercial
automobiles, coastal shipping and airlines increased, and private automobiles
leveled off (Table 12, Fig.
27, Fig. 28).

In 1994 (calendar year) the world volumes of maritime cargo traffic (in
tons and tonnage/miles) registered record highs. As for the maritime trade volume
in tons of Japan, exports increased for the fourth successive year, and imports
rose for the second consecutive year (Fig.
29, Table 13).
The volume of international air cargo traffic for FY1994 in tonnage, continued
to increase smoothly in both imports and exports (Table
14).
Transport-related public investments in FY1994 totaled \16,211.3 million, 99.4% of the previous figure (Table 15).
