In a statement on social media on Friday, the embassy advised Chinese citizens to monitor local government information about wildlife sightings and avoid areas frequented by bears, wild boars and other animals.
Since April, Japan has recorded at least 13 fatal bear attacks and more than 100 injuries, the highest on record.
Most of the incidents occurred in mountainous or nearby residential areas, according to the embassy.
With a weakening yen, affordable airfares and an appealing travel experience, Japan is viewed by many Chinese tourists as a “high value for money” destination.
Japan was the top overseas destination for Chinese tourists during last month’s National Day “golden week” holiday, according to data from leading online travel agents such as Trip.com and Tongcheng.
