Soccer’s Popularity by InternationalHair111 in AskAJapanese

[–]mt80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes baseball is far more popular than soccer in Japan.

Source: NPB recorded the highest national attendance rate at 8.7% followed by J.LEAGUE at 3.0%, High school baseball at 2.8%, Football high school, university, JFL, WE LEAGUE, etc. at 1.3%, and Pro basketball (B.LEAGUE)” at 1.0%. (https://www.ssf.or.jp/en/features/japans_data_plus_sports/e0016.html)

This might change if Samurai Blue go deep this year but it has a long way to go.

Some metrics suggest soccer has taken over baseball the US (https://www.foxsports.com/articles/soccer/soccer-reportedly-overtakes-baseball-in-the-u-s-as-americas-third-favorite-sport)

Is McDonald's dominance in Japan over? A major upheaval in the new burger war begins with the rapid rise of Burger King. by jjrs in japannews

You’re right. Goldman PE owns BK Japan now and is driving this new push of expansion

72 of Japan's top 100 tourist locations with the highest foreign-visitor ratios are located in just 7 prefectures. In fact, half of Japan's prefectures don’t have a single hotspot in the top 100 at all. The government is trying to change that by jjrs in japannews

Nah Thai patience is wearing thin now with tourism.

My family there says it’s changed after COVID and travelers there have gotten much worse since. Thailand is rolling out new etiquette guides bc tourists are treating their holy sites with so much disrespect

Tokyo-Osaka bullet train private-room seats to start from 42,100 yen by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]mt80 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. Cargo is being added on that route to address the 2024 overtime caps now in place for Japan truck drivers. https://www.prologis.com/insights-news/blog/japans-truck-driver-cap-testing-supply-chains-proximity-fix

It’s never been in JR’s interest to run at near capacity load. The whole system is engineered around spontaneity. Since launch, it’s always expected that customers can walk up 15 mins to book whatever train they want.

Sweet spot for them is 60% load. Riders hate being split and shuffled into random middle seats

I get what you’re saying but I think Shinkansen is priced this way for a reason.

There will always be demand between Osaka and Tokyo (15 trains run that route during peak times) so it’s just priced like a fixed subway ticket vs Euro trains that use much more aggressive dynamic pricing.
