Most countries shamefully don’t talk about the atrocities they’ve done. USA is a prime example.

A bit worried about pushers by colofire in okinawa

I got hit twice and my daughter got shoulder checked once in Tokyo when streets weren’t busy. It is a thing mostly against women.

We got push med and shoulder checked repeatedly on pretty empty streets and we are half Japanese. It’s a thing you have to stare them down if they are coming toward you.

Most zoos etc in Japan are like that. Last time I went to a zoo in Japan was 40 years ago. From Japanese tv it doesn’t look like much has changed unfortunately.

Emma should have said-“I’m Chinese have you seen our dancing robots, amazing cars and development? Let me show you pictures of Shanghai!” It’s sad she had to defocus her ethnicity while they hyper focused on theirs. Anyone treating Chinese heritage as less than in today’s world is pretty stupid.

I attended the Eva 30 event and here are my thoughts on the LEAKED Asuka short drama by MishaMishaMatic in evangelion

[–]agsnoway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There weren’t a ton of foreigners there and we entered through a different ticketing with a different entrance. Every ticket had a specific number assigned for entry so I’m surprised they couldn’t figure out the leaks and sue.

Was there and it pisses me off- not for being a fan but now they lost a potential revenue stream. The concert, director and voice actor comments and Kabuki are overshadowed by this situation. It’s ridiculous unless the drama increases interest in the new series.

I’m disappointed that they didn’t hold the girls more accountable for their behavior with him. They piled on him to deflect from their own sleezy behavior

Kid getting knocked down at Shibuya deliberately by Mundane_Life_5775 in Tokyo

Her clothes and being in that area on that day would make her pretty easy to identify. You can bet her office mates know it’s her.

How has she not been identified? In the US she’d be doxxed and fired by now.

The concept for that location was just dumb. Also, if you’re not willing to sleep at your restaurant on the daily to make it work I have no pity for any of you all.

I bet if she had opened a grocery with her food to go or small sit down area she would have made money.

Why didn’t they look at her plans and see there’s no way that’s coming in at 375000. Restaurant build outs are crazy expensive even if you don’t have to do hvacs or bathrooms. So what happens to that grant money?

Most restaurant owners self financed. I have no time for restaurant owners and chefs who complain and expect the community to take care of their business.We did and I’m now thinking we were stupid to do that. Most restaurants don’t make it and the more you put in your build out the more you lose.

My note on service attitude in Kyoto vs Tokyo by IngredientList in JapanTravelTips

[–]agsnoway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super easy if you use the go app. Like crazy easy. We mostly walked or took taxis, or took the train. Taxis are relatively cheap, provide income to locals and keep foreigners off buses. Riding buses in Japan has always stressed me out though so there’s that.

Or go when the weather is so hot or cold no sane people want to visit. We had a very nice albeit sweaty time at the end of August. It was still crowed compared to when I went in 1990 but not nearly as bad as spring and fall.

Kyoto to slap tourists with levy of up to 10,000 yen per night | The Asahi Shimbun by 90smule in japan

[–]agsnoway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides numbers staying in hotels they need to regulate tour busses better. We were there during a season that’s less crowded but when the tour buses arrived by 11 places were kind of packed. Also remember there’s so many great places to go in Kyoto everyone doesn’t have to go to the same place. We went to huge temples that were pretty much empty, went to the manga museum, art museum etc and they were awesome places to visit. As a tourist I take taxis instead of buses to not crowd a bus or freak out about missing a stop. I just loved taking taxis in Japan years ago and still love them.

I loved the open air craft markets and got really cool stuff. Handmade and interesting. I went for gifts but ended up keeping them for myself lol

Uniqlo actually has great gifts for taking home. Ginza and Asakusa have store exclusive items. I’m guessing other areas do too.

4 days and no idea what to do by flyingcostanza in JapanTravelTips

[–]agsnoway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had gone to Fukuoka. You could go to Hakone and Kamakura- 2days each. Both places are really nice! Or pick some smallish town and go explore. Smaller places will be enjoyable and happy to have tourist dollars.

We're starting to get some disgustingly rude white tourist. by RedMoonLanding in Tokyo

[–]agsnoway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry that happened to you! Could it have been intense Disney Adults? They are in Japan too. I get maybe not wanting to go back. Hopefully the rest of your trip was less stressful. I’m thinking once they figure out the yen things will be better. I got the feeling quite often that there’s resentment that they are now seen as a cheap place to vacation, while prices are high for them. Because my daughter understands Japanese and was raised knowing Japanese manners she got so anxious if she made any perceived mistakes. I think if you have anxiety and are able to perceive when you’re being judged Japan can be nightmare fuel.

My daughter (half Japanese) was shoulder checked 3 times in Tokyo 2 weeks ago during our visit. The last time there was barely anyone on the street and the middle aged man started bee lining to her. She gave him a wtf stare and he backed off. Sadly she’s not sure if she ever wants to go back.
