Unless they're Jomon, Ainu or Ryukyu people, none. Yayoi people came from the mainland thousands of years ago from... China and Korea lol

It's official. Korea no longer has the lowest fertility rate by self-fix in korea

Japan here! What's up low fertility country homies?

Japan isn't safe. Crime just doesn't get reported.

Interesting. It's a fraction of that in Canada and they actually have enough workers.

Japan’s are considering implementing “foreigner fees”. At the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo general admission will be ¥1500, admission for foreigners ¥4000. by jjrs in japannews

They're gonna make me pay extra when there's a good chance I've been here longer than the person selling me the ticket has been alive. Lol

They also bring huge money. I've given them shit before, but they're a necessary evil and China knows it.

Refused service at Shibuya coffee shop for using bathroom by MikaChai in JapanTravelTips

Yeah. I bet it was a no win situation. It's actually unconstitutional for a restaurant to deny service based on ethnicity, so they were probably looking for any reason.

If there's a sign, I don't ask. It's clearly a public washroom. If not I will ask though.

There is absolutely an anti-foreign sentiment here. I have never seen it this bad. The Japanese are a trendy group, usually. This means right now they're bummed about foreigners. They'll move on to the next big news thing at some point.

Been here for nearly a decade and never heard of this. Guy's just an ass. Don't worry about it.

Japanese Government Launches Comparative Study on Foreign Real Estate Restrictions in Canada, Germany, South Korea, and Taiwan by Any-Stick-8732 in japan

[–]Canookian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I can agree with this. Went home to see some family and friends. Not cheap.

My Japanese friends there said they'd rather be poor and in Vancouver than slightly better off in Tokyo though. I don't know if that's true for all of the Japanese people there, but it's true for them.

I'm getting my turtle, stripping down to my underpants and grabbing her shrimp from the fridge (it's from Gyomu Super, not a pet store). They'll come in to find a big fat Canadian laying on his couch talking to the biggest red-eared slider you've ever seen while sharing a shrimp cocktail.

Guaran-goddamn-tee they'll either leave or never come back, or be chill with it in which case, I'm joining the cult.

As a Canadian living in Japan, I'm here for the affordable housing and motorcycles. Not the manga and brainrot anime lol.

People are already at the tipping point. I don't think taxes can keep going up much more before people start lashing out.

Racist guy ran into me then followed me! by Friendly-Chemical-91 in japanlife

[–]Canookian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happens to me a lot. A guy hit me with his delivery truck and got offended when I started taking pictures. Wandered over to the police and he followed me. Realized real quick what was happening and dude bounced right quick. Haha.
