I'm Japanese and I completely understood him? What is she on about? She's so rude. He's obviously done his due diligence.
Because he is not a white foreigner.
I commend him for studying Japanese so hard. That was a low blow by the journalist. Other than that comment the rest of the video was fine.
I think she meant accent wise. Working on something doesn’t mean you’re a complete failure. Some of you are insecure.
@@cevxj accent? From what i heard her english accent is not outta this world either
But I bet if he had been a white foreigner and spoken some terrible Japanese she would have congratulated him for his great efforts
Japan is indeed a beautiful country but when it comes to work ethic or work life in general, it seems to be like a hell hole.
Korea has entered the chat
@@alexcarter8807 hahaha true
Providing good and fast services to others means working like crazy, Korea and Japan about the same levels of stress
This appears perfectly.
Totally agree but it is up to each person. For some feel Japan is a hell hole but for some Japan is paradise for them. Each one has different personal characteristic. Same as some of my Japanese friends dont feel comfort with Japanese culture then they moved out of country.
How come a reporter whose English pronunciation is like a high school student got her job as a reporter?
lmao
becoz she is the Japanese
There are tons of Japanese who speak fluent English and Japanese living in the West :)
cant believe a journalist can say "he need to work hard on his japanese" this kinda sarcastic words
I thought that was really rude since he was being totally respectful, bowing, and even kneeling. Is this Japanese customer or just something his job forces him to do?
Agreed!
If he needs to work on his Japanese, then she needs to work on her English.
Ridiculous, we understand her and she understood him so her comment was rude and unnecessary!
@@hannahbananamarshall whats wrong with her english?
You know little about serving Japanese customers
@@captainsunbear5472 I think you forgot to read my comment to the end. Try again and let me know if you still need clarification! 😉
I think the reporter was being rude but referred to his slight accent which is easy to hear. Other than that, his Japanese is fine and suitable for a business environment. She is so cruel! On the brighter side, the innkeeper is such an upstanding businesswoman! She cried hearing about their unpaid wage and workplace abuse situation and did something about it.
Madam Michiyo Ishida. I believe you should’ve commended the Vietnamese guy for his hard work learning Nihongo. But instead, you criticized him. I would say that your English is not so good too. Some of the words were mispronounced. This is not a Japanese-English Channel. This is an international Channel so please fix your R and L. I rest my case Madam.
@Umaru Chan it is easy to say that some people are “sensitive” considering you are just privileged for having a teacher. These workers are probably studying Nihongo by themselves. They came from an impoverish family. They went to foreign country to earn money, living and trying to assimilate in unfamiliar environment. Commending someone for their hard work won’t hurt you. Being sensitive and being considerate & empathetic is different. I guess you need an English teacher as well aside from your Nihongo class.
You are so right. There was nothing constructive about her criticism.It was just a lack of gratitude. It was bitchy. You need these workers Japan, remember that.
You know what, how about JAPANESE LEARN ENGLISH ON MASS FOR A CHANGE.Oh yeah, ...with all their senseis and money funnelled into the idea....They can't handle that :) Funny, loads of countries manage a second language.
@@poppymoon4122 he took it as feedback to work harder on the language. Stop crying!
@@rocketman3770 then Ms Ishida needs to take our feedback to improve her English pronunciation. She isn’t on par with CNA’s Wei Du.
Good point! Her english has room for improvement.
what a condescending reporter.
I laughed when she said the Vietnamese guy needs to work on his Japanese.
I thought he was doing a good job hahah
More like he should work on his pronunciation. Otherwise his Japanese was good. He used a lot of Keigo as well.
@@athiaj1199 I don't know enough Japanese to know how well he was speaking.
But I assume he made a lot of grammar mistakes. I can't imagine she would say that just because he pronounces poorly.
@@richvocal7367 i agree with you men
I also thought that was unnecessary for her to say that 😌
His japanese is good in terms of grammar and usage of keigo, but lacking in pronunciation and intonation
Japan is a more challenging country. After arrival in Canada in 1980 as a Vietnamese refugee, I worked very hard for many years. I persevered, improved my English, did upgrades, and went back to college. Knowledge is power.
Welcome my compatriot we need to work harder than native people...
More power to you! Wish you all the best!
@@eveleung8855 Thanks ma'am

(First Nations sweating nervously)
Such a empathetic general manager...I would love to have her as a boss :)
Tell the reporter she needs to work on her ingrisu more
That woman needs to work harder on her English. Lmao
Savage hahaha
What do you mean? she spiku beri beri guuddo engrish, eigo joozu no obachan.
Good one, well I wanna hear her sound in Vietnamese harder ^^
Everyone here saying Japan is for Japanese only is only saying it because these workers are from poor Asian countries. If it was a documentary about Westerners resettling in Japan, everyone would be like "oooh so cool, he's so handsome and tall" "I want my babies with blue eyes too" and other cringey stuff. You know it. Double-standards.
lmao legit
Japanese like white people too much.... I say this as a white person. Some Japanese don't even identify as Asian! So strange. And yet white peoples do have some good ideas Japanese can follow to make themselves more prosperous, but the rich old men who rule Japan like gods just hate change. Japanese are curious and fascinating people.
@@mistressofstones weeb/koreaboos makes themselves feel better with assumptions.
Not ture. There are many Korean immigrants in Japan.
Its their country. Dont like it? Then dont go there. You got no right to tell them what to do
This lady is the type that would act friendly and nice in front of you but talks about you behind your back when your out of ear shot.
That's not the type. That's their thing.
welcome to Japan

that’s almos 90% of japanese lol
@@mrnoob7077
Good.
I thought i heard it wrong and had to check again, she actually said that? what the heck, that is so RUDE and they still allowed this to be in the video?
@J H great manner you have.
@J H She didn't correct him. There is a difference between condescending and constructive. How could she know he didn't learn as hard as he can? The woman is rude, period.
1:34
Me as Japanese: Awww. He bowed 3 times. How polite!
Stupid reporter: I must say he must work harder on his Japanese
HOW RUDE!!
I feel that there is some prejudice against Vietnamese people in Japan(of course not everyone) but I live in Japan, I’m from America but I was at a restaurant and the waiter was Vietnamese and he was doing a good job! But this old man started telling him his Japanese was bad and he needs to study harder and started bragging that he fluent in English (not realizing I was there) but his English was awful.
@Sara.C well that was the only thing I’ve experienced first hand. I’m not Vietnamese and I don’t know any Vietnamese people so I’m not knowledgeable about it sorry.
I do notice thought the treatment in Japan against non white foreigners in general. Even though I’m mostly white I don’t look like it at all cause I’m half black but I’ve had pretty bad experiences compared to my fully white friends who are treated like gods (in a way)
There are always assholes everywhere, but it doesn't say anything about the Japanese people. I'm studying in the US and one of my professors is Japanese, he is a super nice guy, and I don't see any prejudice in his eye. He was surprised tho when I spoke some Japanese with him.
@@nguyeninhhung2091 I said “not everyone of course”
really is unfortunate. I'm curious to see how japanese society reacts as more immigrants settle. Will they face similar problems to the US with prejudice?
@@nguyeninhhung2091 While giving your prof all credit for being super nice, maybe it's because he knows he is situated in a foreign country? Maybe he just knows better than to conduct himself below par in what's not his home-turf?
That said, that's the sad part. Even if you are super nice as a person, the tags, generalizations and labels applicable to your ethnicity or nationality, always follow you :(
Vietnamese employee bows countless times and even performs dogeza. CNA correspondent: 'Haha. Work harder.' Is she an empress?!
I know she is very arrogant
Even an untrained eye can sense that
@@assoeraif1955 I noticed that too. Good observation!
@Sara.C around 1:40 to 2:10
He must work harder to learn the Japanese language!
She said that the worker need to work harder in his Japanese not the way he bow.
Shirakabe employer treated their staffs very well ❤️❤️❤️
she say that he need to improve in his Japanese?? When she need to improve her English cause every time she talks it’s always like “ssssss”
@J H well the Vietnamese guy could say " I'm Vietnamese u moron " 🤣
As far as I know there are so many overworked Japanese who are unhappy with their life and high suicide rates due to depression. They also have lots of people who are unable to join the society and live alienated at home for years. I don’t understand what is so great about feeling Japanese culture is the best and service is the best when the employees are driven to overwork and depression and death. Like your country is not perfect why pick on foreigners and continue to say Japanese is better. The news reporter seems to be unkind person lol. The inn lady seems nice.
Pride and ego
It’s the work culture- and a lot of boomers think that the younger generation are lazy- Just because they worked overtime during their youth, they expect the younger generation to do the same, and that reflects in the way the society functions. It’s a vicious cycle. The younger generations are trying to change that- a lot of offices owned by the younger Japanese have better work life balances. And people are also realizing that working for conglomerates isn’t as perfect as they thought it would be. I feel like the boomers(mostly) needs to change their perspective about Japan- that japan isn’t the perfect country they think it is, and that kingdoms fall.
Yesss a lot of the are dying of overwork, yet their productivity flunk. Thay work hard but does not work smart
Looks like you don't update about the current Japanese life where overwork is starting to be left in the present, because they think more about work-life balance, if you always follow western media yes you will misjudge them now, because there is western media that is cynical against japan
@@ivanbudianto1962 yeah people are just focus on Japan suicide rate because they are advancing country, and famous for lot of thing. Japan don't even made the top 15 suicide country but people keeping say it like they are number 1 on the list. And the people that never work for high pace corporate job will never understand wherever you are in the world it will always be intense and high pressure. And doesn't matter where you are in the world, there will alway be Job that overwork or high pressure. Also unless people live in a bubble everywhere in the world there alway thoae job that are overwork and underpaid and people that staying home and depression.
These japanese should know how to learn studying a language before commenting on how people speak a language that is not their mother tongue
Lol tell that to English speakers first
I had a neighbor (in Japan) who was talking crap about foreigners who can’t speak Japanese fluently, and I was like, “so tell me. What other languages can you speak?” He couldn’t give me an answer. lol
@@kizzykiz sounds American lol
It's human nature is to discriminate others who are different to them, it's sad but true. I'm a Vietnamese who have been living in a Western country for 30 years to see discrimination exists.
I agree.
I appreciate the manger so much. She's so genuine about her employee's well being. More power to their business ❤️ the host on the other hand. *sigh 😔
I wonder how her pronunciation of Vietnamese sound.
Her pronunciation of all the Vietnamese names was terrible xD
It was, but she tried... main point!
kong plong tlong pong long
Irrelevant. Baka gaijin.
Well judging by her terrible English accent, it does not bode well....
Thailand has sent their people to work oversea for more this 40 years. Where ever they pay you more and treat you well, why not? when your country has no job or pay way less than other country. Money is everything.
Thailand is now a much better economy, so while they do send, they don't send this often.
not in the past 20 years, very few places that Thai workers still travel to work.
I wanna visit this inn. Kudos to the staff as well. I feel them as a foreigner myself in Japan.
Well, I don't speak Japanese, so I don't know how fluent his Japanese is. English is my second language, but even I speak better English than her. I agree with the other comments here, what she said was quite condescending.
Same, even for me who come from Southeast Asia and actually english is my third language I still pronounce it better than her. Sorry
His Japanese pronunciation is definitely better then her english. He was just stuttering cuz of the camera.
Are they in England or Japan?
I cried when i saw the japanese owner cried. A lot of japanese are good hearted and very industrious. I like to speak to them sometimes but there is still some language barriers that keeps me from being closer that just a simple hi and genki desu ka?
Yeah that surprised me always thought Japanese are a cold people when it comes to business dealings :(
I dont like this journalist lady
Hated the journalist from the second she said the Vietnamese worker needs to work harder on his Japanese. So condescending and rude, how about you work harder on your English before criticizing someone else?
just stay in your own country
@@supernova7966 lol I am, living in the best country of the world and second how irrelevant is your comment
@@supernova7966 Dude, who wound up your panties?
@@supernova7966your racism is not necessary. There's already too much of it.
@@supernova7966
Anyone has the right to live in whatever country they want and u can't control that so stfu
The reporter's English sounds annoying. You can hear her try way too hard to mask an accent that keeps seeping through. Perhaps hire a speech therapist or just let yourself speak naturally. The "he should work harder at learning Japanese" was also an annoying comment to make on air and sounds kind of mean/condescending.
I can see that she represents her generation; more open to changes, unlike probably the previous generations of Japanese to her who follows social norms strictly.
Hopefully the Japanese don't become too open.
@@lucascoval828whymost of these gatekeeping narration are given by whites against asian immigrants in japan lol
The womans english was so bad! She strugles allot with the ingrish tone. I did the mispelling with a intention, What intention you say? Well its stupid to complaine on some ones language when one is bad at speaking
Ohh The manager shed tears while recounting the unfortunate stories of her employees ❤
I wanted to stay at that inn someday
SO RUDE.
She seems to be still living in 1970's Japan. What an old-fashioned view she has.
@J H ？why you mad?
Why
that log bath looks like the one from theanimemans collab vid with abroadinjapan
in 4K right?
I hope all the people affected by Covid 19 stay strong and do well
Wow people with Japanese ancestry, living in Japan permanently and this video still calling them “foreigners”. Lol I just can’t with this 😂
There’s always an us vs them mentality. To Singaporeans, just because I’m born in China, they will always see me as a foreigner (I migrated to Singapore at 5, and look, talk, and live like a Singaporean and that’s my nationality).

@@embershen364 seriously? do you mean chinese singaporean or the other races in Sg that threat you like that?
@@langitjingga9072 it’s the Chinese Singaporeans. Bc of the covid-19, suddenly everyone come and ask me annoying questions like
Colleagues/classmates who saw my surname is Shen and not Sim:
1. Which part of China r u frm (even if I told them not like they will know abt the place what)
2. Why u come to singapore?? (Bc my mom brought me? I’m 5, I can’t choose).
3. Is Singapore better or China better? (I never went back to China... how I know)
4. Is it true that Chinese ppl eat dogs (again, it’s quite insulting. Koreans also eat dog what, why never ask them?)
Random HR/friends of many years will suddenly ask:
5. Oh r u a Singaporean alr? (Yes)
So u got pink ic? (They dun believe so keep asking... yes)
So you can vote in GE? (Omg yes! Of coz I will know best if I’m a Singaporean what, why they keep questioning).
6. Why your English so good?? Your Chinese n math r v gd right (stereotypes... my Chinese is bad).
I feel they r nt rly asking bc they r interested to befriend me. They just want to gossip abt me based on what I told them. I just want ppl to be friends based on my personality, hobby etc, why they have to talk abt where I come from? As for my friends, I’m quite disappointed that they still doesn’t realize I’m alr a Singaporean bc I have NEVER talked abt China to them.
Can someone explain to me why Japan should be happy with an increase in the non-Japanese population? Why is non-Japanese immigration necessary?
Well if their ethnic people aren't having babies, who is going to fund the welfare? It's sad.
@@zenou-samaIV Why not incentivize people to have babies?
@@DinoCon developed countries are expensive in raising a baby and many parents are out for work don't have time for taking care of a child, they have tocic over working culture in Japan no time for family or dating. Fixing this is very difficult, it will effect many part their economy in short time and take long time to do so.
@@zenou-samaIV Well they are still having babies. Just not that many when compared to the earlier "baby boomer" generation, who are the real source of the problem to begin with. Just wait for most of this generation to die off and the problem will correct itself naturally. Importing more foreigners might improve the economy but would eventually destroy the country both ethnically and culturally. If Japanese really want to lose everything and turn themselves in to a second America with it's huge diversity, huge social issues, more rampant crime, and nonexistent culture, then this is the way to go. Hopefully I'll be dead before I get to see this great country devolve in to something like that.
That journalist should put more effort on her english, just saying.
That guy was speaking just fine.He stuttered a bit and he has an accent thats all! He also was doing his best and seemed very sweet.That was a catty comment on her part.
She sounds very condescending to people who are already hard working.
I must say the hospitality in that inn is over the top.
This is normal in Japan.

"Fluently"

Americans who routinely look down on Asian English accents say
She’s working for an English language news, she definitely need to improve on her English, especially the world “Vietnam”
I wish all the best for the employees and employer
it was gonna happen anyways. if i read correctly most of the immigrants are from neighboring asian countries along with brazil and iran.

I came here to comment and echo some statements from other commenters about the host. I speak japanese fluently and understood this man just fine. Even if there is an accent would it be that much of an issue? He seems to be a nice hard working young man filling a role that is necessary in this economy.
I would hope the host reads this and understands that your tone is quite condescending and arrogant. Even if it was meant as an off the cuff remark or a joke it was poorly received. I don't want to diminish someone's character or mean to insult but I hope you as a host will do better in the future.
For the young man working at the inn, I wish you the best of luck in these difficult times. You are working very hard and should be proud of yourself :)
I would have enjoyed watching this if they had used a different reporter. Well done to all the hard workers.
God Bless You, Ms Yuka Suzuki!!!
Her warm heart and sincerity should be exemplary to us all.
I know any developed countries have experienced labor shortage. Quick solutions to the labor shortage have been labor imports, but without any hard thinking of the long term implications on the society. Politicians and the policy makers stay in the positions typically no longer than 5 - 10 years; but the social issues start to emerge after the policy makers are long gone. The next generations have to bear with the challenges, unfortunately.
Anyhow, it's funny to see the reporter saying as if all these are unforseen big surprises. Hello~~~ Anybody home?
It's interesting to see Brazilian-Japanese that are moving to Japan.
They don’t want anymore Covid19
Cus Japan > Brazil?
Guys what was the name of the city that has many Brazilians? I'm unsure of the spelling. I googled from how I thought it's spelled....
I didn't even realize that guy was vietnamese, just listening thru headphones
She sure makes foreigners working hard to learn Japanese feel welcome with that condescending attitude and cheeky remark.
I will stay here when travel to Japan begins! To show gratitude and thanks to the owners of ryokan shirakabeso!
The owner is so kind, she trains them and treats them like Japanese staff.
yes the manager is a very kind and empathetic person
imagine next time when you go eat Pho at Vietnamese restaurant, the Vietnamese bow 🙇♂️ at you on the way in and bow 🙇♂️ again on the way out! isn’t that would be great to dine haha
Now I know why Jiraiya can only write his Make Out Tactics novel at Inns and bathhouse
She needs to work harder on her English.
Vietnam is booming, it's unwise to move to the land of the setting sun.
Very interesting!
If the guy has to work on his Japanese, the reporter needs to work on her English. CNA has Wei Du who sounds much better. Did standards drop?
what nikko inn in japan exploited the workers?
I think its normal for overwork underpaid???
The reporter are so rude...
Is not are
@2:08 "but I must say, he must work harder on his Japanese" - oh for crying out loud! How arrogant is this statement? The young man has clearly made great progress already, focus on the positive instead of expecting the perfect. As the very humble inn owner says, he's doing a job they can't find a local worker to do.
this is my thesis topic!
I thought that young man did a very good job in showing her and talking in Japanese...She on the other hand needs to “work hard on her English and pronunciation”. Thanks anyways, for reporting about this☺️
16:02 Oh, the irony of talking about foreigners settling down in Japan, while the sign at the window says: "foreigners not allowed to enter the bath".
Almost all senior japanese have condescending temperaments
2:10 BITCH??? HE’S OBVIOUSLY DOING HIS BEST
Why is the video, blurred? 😜😜😜
I'm afraid of Japan losing its culture it's already happening in the Netherlands
Whatever her motive for commenting on his Japanese it just came out wrong. I am sitting here and wondered what does she have to feel superior about. Untold numbers of Chinese or Koreans or Vietnamese... started out as menials in wealthy countries but are now powerful leaders or billionaires. May be a good hair session and some decent make up will allow her to be a bit more human. The lady inn keeper is a complete contrast, wonderful kind face and personality and her thoughtful effort to address a big problem in rural Japan is impressive. I am thinking of visiting her inn when I have we can travel again. The inn looks wonderful and the food amazing.
Even before the coronavirus spread around the world, the food service industry, lodging industry, agriculture, fishery industry, and medical care industry have been exhausting young people with long working hours and low wages. It is no wonder that Japanese youth do not want to work in those exploitative industries. If we bring in young slaves from overseas, they will eventually stop wanting to work in Japan. It's like a drug.
11:37 Philippine flag here
Filipinos: who summoned us
This reporter is not the right reporter for this documentary topic. Her tone and manerism indicate that she looks at foreign workers as less than.
lol i thought the Vietnamese man was Japanese
If you come to Japan, you'll have to work incredibly hard. You have to be very good at customer service and language.
In fact, it's tougher for immigrants, so it's better to have a technical qualification.
Can a foreign worker become a citizen there?
Ms. Yuka Suzuki, the owner has a very good warm kind heart towards her staff,,,shes very caring and loving lady as i can see when shes telling that her employees was abused from their previous job...
666k subscribers. Illuminati confirmed💁🏻
Hard work is the standard requirement for every ordinary worker. The treatment from employers become totally the opposite for capable employees specially those with problem solving skills and efficiency, this include foreigners. Capable employees get to enjoy everything the bosses enjoy.
That's oppressive!
😱😱😱
I wonder if they have naturalisation laws for those who wish to acquire citizenship
The inn keeper is the best!!, she is young and has modern views. Reporter is older with outdated views O.M.G
I personally wouldn’t leave or fleeing my mother land, unless there is communist government, dictatorship, invasion, lost democracy, then second country would be my only choice. I am boat peoples. I am refugee, I am naturalized US citizen, my children born in the US, they are primarily speaks English and little Vietnamese. We are secure in the democracy nation, freedom & liberty. We only have one visa or passport. However, in my career, discrimination only for low paid employment during high school, but in college we served fairly and we received the same degree. We cast our election ballots.
But during the last 15 years, I witnessed massive immigrants, migrants, students, tourists receiving handouts visas, many abuses the US cracking systems. They arrived in the US most of them worked under table for cash, they engaged laundering money, they evading INS (immigration naturalization services) moved to different city got fakes marriages, fakes divorced then came in back on government aids, housing, health insurance, worked half cash half payrolls to meet national nor state’s proverty guidelines to collecting government aids. They laundering money to vietnam.
Japan has a deeper problem of treating employees so rough they dont want kids
You got it bro :) either they have tons of kids or accept foreigners
Interesting! Informative! International trade has changed the social order among countries.
The reporter should work on her English pronunciation. Her accent is hard on the ears
Nice place and management there.
Japan is tough even to their own people... can't imagine foreign workers staying there for long unless they change their work culture
Bruh, is it just me or did she say the Philippines is a South American country?
Japan have a lot of foreign workers?
And she needs to work more on her English as well !
Great episode focusing on the positive sides of foreign workers in Japan. How are foreign workers coping with "Black Industry" and what is Japanese government handling the situation?
After living for 3 years in japan, here is the conclusion
As a foreigner in japan, you have to behave like then to be accepted (if possible). Yes they are polite but they are no nonsense when come to accepting foreigners
As a foreigner in Singapore, you can behave like a jerk and the Gov will accept you at the same time telling everyone to do the same
So have you gone back to Singapore? Seems like such a great place to live (in Singapore). Just don't litter and do graffiti and a person will be fine there. Much better than living in Japan is seems.
Stay strong, there will not be a need to work for these arrogant people once our motherland recovers.
Beautiful innkeeper though, both inside and out.
As long as you live under Communistic rule, young Vietnamese workers will be sent overseas non-stop.😎
Been there and done that. To live and work your ass off in Japan is just like a long term kamikase.!!
4:45 This guy looks like Shizo Abe
What happened to the manager and her employees now that Japan did not open up for foreigners under the Olympics? Hope they could stay and continue their work.
