Before such a decision, consider how you would be using either of those language after graduation. What lies ahead after you learn either of them?

Well English is spoken the most widely in the world, and is also the international business language. But really it all depends on what you want to do in the future. English would be a better one to learn over Japanese, if you are not sure what you are going to do yet.

English - Harder grammar and vocabulary
Japanese - Harder writing system

Which culture do the hotels and companies you will be working for seek business from more often?
Japanese could given you a more specialized skill, but the market for the skill may be more limited if the companies work more with western markets.

If you look here:

KryssTal : The 30 Most Spoken Languages in the World

You can see how many people speak the language and where it is commonly used. As you can see Japan is pretty far down, and Japan is the only place where it's the main language.

Hi, nice to see you from Far East, Japan.

Well, as above MissMisa said, Japanese is minor language, so I think it is more useful to choose English for you.
If you really want to learn Japanese, you can learn it personally. But well, Japanese is not so useful language in view of world wide business world...at least I think so


Love, my Diva Sheena Ringo
