Posted in: Himeji Castle entry fees set to be hiked for all non-local visitors See in context

This is not discrimination. If they can afford to fly to Japan and go sightseeing they'll be fine. I'm sure there won't be any tourists outside of Himeji Castle holding signs protesting. I've been to Himeji Castle once and I have no plans of going back inside. It's just best to take a picture of it from the outside. Locals would agree.

I'm sure the father is blaming himself and the driver is blaming himself. A tragic event for the both of them.

Little kids are always want to run ahead. My kids did it. I see other kids doing it.

I still believe that people over 65 should only operate vehicles with collision alert systems. That includes myself in 13 years.

Posted in: Barrier at viral Mount Fuji photo spot to be replaced after holes found See in context

Just put a booth there with security guard and charge people. It's better to profit of problems then spend money on problems. Charge foreign visitors a thousand yen and charge Japanese citizens and residence 500 yen. That's all the bicycle parking problems are eliminated in Japan.

I have no interest in going there. Problem will be solved once yen goes back to 120.

We won't see it going back to 120 In our lifetime. It would be closer to 200 next year if not over.

Posted in: Foreign traveler caught trying to sneak into Japan by climbing down rope from cruise ship See in context

He's too old to be one of these dumbass YouTubers. Perhaps, he was trying to fake his death. Hide out in Japan until his family received the life insurance money and sue the cruise liner.

I wonder how much cash he had on them.

Israel receives $3.8bn of military aid a year from the US. That's all the support they need from the U.S. The US will never stop funding Israel no matter how it decides to strike Iran.

Operators of cram schools, afterschool clubs, babysitter services and talent agencies would not be obliged to use the system as they are not under state supervision.

Well, parents should demand it before sending their children there.

If you can't best them, join them. Maybe the problem is they need to have a good time.

Japanese interrogation is not torture. It can be long and repetitive but they don't use anger and violence. It is long because they will ask you to tell them you're entire life story. This is used to build a good rapport with the inmate. There is a cell in the police station where the light stays on 24 hours with a camera on the ceiling. This is to observed the inmate to make sure they don't inflict harm on themselves.

Wouldn't the Japanese police offer security because it's a threat to the public? It's strange that no details of the threat are given.

There should be government subsidies for seniors to trade in their cars and also automakers who have profited from this senior generation should make the cars affordable for seniors. There might be a way to install the systems in older cars, but I have no information regarding this.

People that will come from outside the Kansai area to this expo will enjoy being in Kyoto and Osaka City more than the expo itself.

It should be mandatory for seniors to drive cars with auto collision warning systems. That would have helped prevent this tragedy.

Speed bumps won't help when backing out of a parking space.

Most schools don't ask for background checks in Japan. Especially now with the lack of quantified teachers coming to Japan. They're just happy enough to get a teacher to fill the position.

It should be mandatory for people over 65 to drive cars with collision alert systems and autonomous emergency braking. It's going to be necessary in Japan's future.
