They need to increase prices for tourists. There are way too many tourists now. Imagine going to your local shopping mall and literally everyone is speaking a different language and buying everything up and saying how cheap it is. Add in the fact almost every restaurant that’s good in Tokyo or Osaka has a huge line.

Back when I lived in Japan, there would

be maybe 20% tourists in a store. Now every store has like 60% tourists. I forgot to mention most tourists are Chinese. My girlfriend who speaks mandarin felt like she was back in Chinatown in the US because everyone was speaking mandarin.

if you want to keep the Japanese culture of clean, calm, and friendly… you gotta give the workers more money. Every place has too many people and not enough workers.
