Japan needs to increase the departure tax at airports and use the revenue to improve infrastructure in areas hit hard by over tourism. By world standards, the ¥1,000 ($6.88 USD) is very, very low. My home country charges ¥5,800. Doubling or tripling the tax would generate a huge amount of revenue but would still be so low that tourists will not be put off by it. The government are leaving so much money on the table. Any leftover revenue could be funneled into increasing aged care services.
