invest in indonesia beauty business.....is new corporate agenda...stupid show

Japan was known for quality in every aspect of life and it still is in a way. I am a travel industry professional and I visited Japan in 2014 and 2015 .But I am really sorry to say it is not the same country anymore, thanks to tourism boom or bane, no idea what to call it. Tourism brings money but for who; never the Japanese people , unless those who are linked to this business for direct revenue. In 2014 my visit to Kyoto was peaceful and loved every second of it, while 2015 i wanted to get out ASAP & go back to Nara or Kobe. Kyoto has become quite loud and overcrowded city in most places. Is the idea of millions of screaming smiling Chinese (no offence) tourists is attractive to Mr. Abe , who will shamelessly buy everything on earth even if they don’t need to show off or take 1000 selfies at every spot.

It would be good if tourism grows but a huge sudden growth would makes things worse for locals. Good Hotels in Osaka and Kyoto are always overbooked or too expensive to even consider. A capsule hotel in Tokyo would cost similar to 4 star in Bangkok. If Japan aims to be Thailand than be ready for chap and ugly face of tourism. Personally I love being there and connecting with people and way of life, not really too keen for attraction much. I love greet and know people in smaller towns who lead a very Japanese way of life still. Hope all that remains preserved Mr. Abe.

I hope Japan remains what it should be & does not start projecting itself as a wannabe be travel destination like Thailand cities or Dubai.
