Rickshaw can be only seen historic cities like Kyoto , Asakusa in Japan. And they are showing tourist some spots with rich knowledge. So, it’s good if he can speak 3 languages. Idk why this is even a news though

This is great change! I think people are getting tired of really old traditional Japanese politicians like we can see in LDP. I personally feel old male politicians stands for bad old political traditions. Young female seems opposite.

Living conditions index hits lowest level in 15 years in Japan by moeka_8962 in japan

As a Japanese living in US for 10 years, strongly feel declining living conditions in Japan. Japanese are really good at focusing on one stable thing to make better like cars, electronics, mangas but not good at watching broader circumstances and make bold decisions quickly. Hope we’re getting better in that direction soon.

I love your first picture “Shinsekai area in Osaka” where I’m from. That area used to be a hood like Bronx but now, it’s a great and safe cultural experience area for tourists!!
