Posted in: Tourism boom sends prices soaring at Niseko ski resort See in context

Don’t mind tourism if the local population is benefiting but generally it just screws over most of the people living in Japan, affecting their lives negatively. The government should take this into consideration if they are planning to increase numbers further. It is bad already.

Posted in: Top climate scientist declares 2-degree C climate goal 'dead' See in context

Increasing populations, so called better climate politicians and stars flying private jets to events, plane makers trying to sell more planes and companies trying to sell more technology, put efforts to AI……. It’s a shame trump exited it, but it’s also shameful that the lot of them are doing the opposite of decreasing global warming. What comes out of their mouths don’t fit their actions.

If this person wasn’t born into the position, he would have been a lazy fat sloth. Not leader but the biggest parasite of North Korea.

Shameful and lazy embassy staff. They are there to help their citizens however possible. What’s the point of wasting tax money o their salaries……they are not there to feel special because they can live abroad……. they should be fired, not given a posting ever again or even given criminal charges. Waste of space.

So basically, it’s all because of the weak JPY. Wondering what these so called increases and decrease would be if logged in USD.

“"We will make the World Exposition an opportunity for Japan to achieve robust growth," Ishiba said at the meeting, also attended by Osaka Mayor Hideyuki Yokoyama and Masayoshi Matsumoto, chairman of the Kansai Economic Federation.”

How is that associated with robust growth?…..

Posted in: Gov't considers same-day tickets for Osaka Expo amid slow pre-sales See in context

I have a feeling what the big fuss is about an expo and why one would want to visit. I certainly am unsure what the attraction is except for the cost it would take to actually. So honest question…..what do you do at an expo if you go?

Posted in: Tourist arrested in Japan for striking convenience store clerk over 3-yen bag altercation See in context

He knew what he was doing, probably a drunk yob. And if not he shouldn’t have let it escalate. Glad people stand up to this sort of stuff. 3 yen or lot more, once you let things slide……look at the west. No need for that in Japan. Not welcome. Slam the book on him. Harsh but needed as wrong is wrong.

Posted in: Wages in Japan drop for 3rd straight year in 2024 as inflation bites See in context

nothing new, the Japanese politicians like to give handouts and then take away more in other ways…. It’s a scam of finding new ways to screw over its own people and people who try and make an honest living in Japan. Chasing so called tourist dollars also exacerbate the situation unnecessarily.

All these comments saying they are blaming foreigners……and Japan is xenophobic….well duhhh…..it’s because it is due to foreign tourists. A lot of them not by coincidence being from China since it’s the CNY.

Posted in: Trump blames diversity hiring as probe into deadly midair collision begins See in context

DEI works when it is used to permits people of different backgrounds to be hired from the norm, if they are the BEST for the job. However, DEI doesn’t work when a quota is in place and people are hired who are not as good as another candidate. The problem is that the latter prevails and that needs to be tackled and eliminated.

Posted in: Hokkaido city posts guards at tourist hotspot ahead of Lunar New Year See in context

Just start charging tourists for everything. Might as well since they are such a nuisance for the lives of people who live in Japan but don’t benefit from tourism. Which is basically most of the population.

Posted in: Japan to halt funding for U.N. women's rights panel over call to end male-only imperial succession See in context

Good for Japan!…..Who cares…..they can do what they want, it’s their country. Stop trying to tell other countries what to do and focus on more pressing needs around the world. Japanese succession is not a topic harming anyone globally.

These guys seem to be involved in a series of crimes. If guilty hope they receive full punishments as letting these types of criminals getaway with it just breeds more of the same. It’s not like society will miss them,

Nakai and those responsible need to be held accountable for more than this. The chances are this is not the only case. Just the only one found out. Disgusting people.

Posted in: Many countries, including China and Japan, grappling with shrinking and aging populations See in context

At the same time we are talking about countries within the top 20 most number of people. I never understood the concept of pushing for more people. Yes, you have the pension problem etc. But surely you are just exacerbating the problem for a future generation. Politicians globally are just too lazy to deal with it. It’s easier to continue chucking money and resources at increasing population or blaming immigration. It suits their narrative rather than building an actual feasible future for their people.

I don’t have an answer for the problem either but piling on the problem rather than solving it doesn’t make sense. More people consumes more resources, and there is more friction and competition. What is good about that for a peaceful collaborative world.

Posted in: Tokyo governor wants to start study abroad grant system, including monthly activity allowance See in context

Any effort to decrease the burden of further education costs to Japanese and local residents rather than paying foreign students to come and study in Japan. Most countries charge more to foreign students.
