Is the following sentence gramatically correct? You need to make one change.

"It looks like that Japanese people like traveling."

It looks like THOSE Japanese people like traveling. (plural; you are talking about more than one person)

Does the above sentence have the same meaning as "Japanese people seem to like traveling."?

There is a difference. The first sentence is about particular Japanese people, but the second sentences is about Japanese people in general.

"It looks like Japanese people like traveling."
(no "that," if you want it to mean like the 2nd)
but I don't like the repetition of "like" anyway.

Or, better:
"It seems that Japanese people like traveling."

Thank you for your comments.

Now I understand "that" is not necessary because "like" serves as a conjunction.

It look like that S+V
