FYI Japan's economy isn't exactly in the shit as I said, but they barely avoided a recession at the time of posting. What do you think about all this?🤔
My thoughts on this: I think it’s based as fuck and justified they should be allowed to close off the private streets and alleys because it’s not shibuya or a party zone
It’s a shame for the well behaved tourist but that make sense as a countermeasure. I am actually surprised we don’t see more anti tourist action taken. I heard of restaurant not serving foreigners but not much else.
I totally agree, I feel like this is definitely not the last repercussion we will see because of these individuals. We can only pray that people will stop acting like total bumheads.
I've watched various videos about those streets in Kyoto where the maiko/geisha are seen going about their business. I've noticed that the groups that descend on those young ladies are European mostly. You can tell they're not American by their body language. The maiko/geisha at times seem stressed and anxious at having to walk the gauntlet of tourists with their cameras and selfie-sticks!! I'm glad the authorities are finally doing something about that ever increasing problem.
You're the kind of person who thinks it's so important to have an opinion on everything that you can form fresh opinions based on guesswork, anecdotal evidence and confirmation bias. There are 330 million Americans and 751 million Europeans. Body language is not uniform in cultures, countries, or even smaller communities like cities or towns. The basis for your conclusion has no merit. In 2022 304,505 Europeans visited Japan and 323,513 Americans visited Japan. Both have subgroups that take a lot of selfies and pictures on holiday (and so do many other countries, like Korea, 857,000 visitors). In conclusion, to no-one's surprise, both our peoples have parents among us who never taught their children to treat people with respect when visiting their country. You don't have to take it personally or feel vicarious embarrassment. Unless it's your child doing it. But you shouldn't put the blame squarely on Europeans either, when you have absolutely no way of knowing the origin of all the tourists in question. Hope you reconsider how you form opinions and have a great day.

Negative interest rates had to eventually stop but yeah I think I’m optimistic about Japanese economy tbh I see decent growth

I think they will lift the ban years later if it helps condition tourists to be more respectful which is all Japanese people really care about tbh
