One wonders what’s fueling the uptick. Biz visa travelers? More Japanese and residents traveling? Lack of arrival testing? Or purely domestic?
There doesn't need to be anything in particular fuelling it - the BA.4 and BA.5 variants are more infectious than the previous dominant variants, so will result in an increase in cases compared to before, even with no change in behaviour.
