Posted in: 'Mount Fuji convenience store' issues apology for bad tourist manners, adds multilingual signs See in context
How long before Japan bans tourism again like during lockdown?
Japan wants our money, but not us as tourists.
Japan is very tourist friendly, maybe even too friendly. In the last thirty years, Japan spent so much effort and money in revamping its infrastructure to accommodating non-Japanese speaking people. What other country has train systems that make announcements or have signs in Japanese, English, Chinese and Korean. And you go to the tourist hot spots like the Odaiba, and a lot of the shop staff are able to speak some degree of English. So to say Japan doesn't want tourists is completely wrong. Japan puts a lot of effort into attracting and accommodating tourists

Posted in: Decapitated man was involved in violent incident with suspect: mother See in context
Before we pass judgement, I would want more info on what the victim did to warrant such a brutal murder. He might have really pushed this woman over the edge of insanity to go as far as decapitating him.
Love hotels have a front desk to confirm who comes and leaves and probably multiple cameras at the entrance.
Some lovehos don't have a front desk, in the interest of giving the user as much anonymity as possible. They can just select a room from a menu, and then pay at payment machine in the room when they leave. Don't have to see or talk to anyone other than your partner.

If he is exonerated, he would have spent the majority of his life in prison as an innocent man, How is he expected to survive in the outside world? Its completely different from when he was free. If he is innocent, the government owes him BIG time.

At Yosemite, they charge people if they have to be rescued. Sometimes these rescue missions can cost millions of dollars. If that's what tax payers are being charged every year to rescue these people who have no idea what they are doing, I am all for charging them for the rescue, rather than having tax payers front the bill
