Even if it is necessary, a city losing its personality is very sad.

No, but there should be a third option: Depends

To extend the argument, we'd have to ban musicians from drinking alcohol.

Not a word about Canada, nor any info re starting time, venue

Well, at the rate I lose pens . . .

Highest recommendations. I went and enjoyed Oya many times. The cavern is cool in summer, and warm in winter, always enjoyable. The factory made the Zero, and was the only one not found and destroyed in the war. https://www.worldwarphotos.info/gallery/japan/aircrafts/a6m-zero/a6m-zero-factory-in-underground-mine-oya-japan-1945/

Another ancient driver mows over innocent folks in his way. Old people, over 50, need to be restricted to driving during the day and only then with special signs warning others that they are impaired.”

Racism & sexism are disallowed here, but ageism runs rampant. Ironically though, all you ageists are future victims, and will soon be ranting about the next generation of ageists.

That will save me some time, no more photos

Yubaru, right. People are scared of funeral costs and/or having your body sit rotting in a lonely apartment

There was a thriving Airbnb industry happening in Tokyo until they cracked down. It was obvious then there was going to be a giant problem for the Olympics. They could just open it up again, problem solved.

“I wonder how the world went from gayship during the Roman-era, Greek-era, Viking-era, and Nanshoku during the feudal-era of Japan. It's just christians among many others who claim that man to woman-sex is the only acceptable, this is historically inaccurate. Homosexuality has always existed”

Exactly (but my similar comment was deleted by this arbitrary mod)

itsonlyrocknroll,

Why would it matter if you are comfortable?

Salary is only part of it. Benefits often differ greatly

Really insulting. The courts seem as criminal as the companies.

I have a feeling many Japanese marriages are de facto divorces

It would be nice if JT took the minimal effort of posting the local time of kickoff

Best headline of the day

Oh, so happy to live in Japan, where this is “news.”

The title should say: how the hell does it work

There is going to be incredible pressure on the situation with elder care, especially with dementia patients in the coming years. There are simply too few caregivers, and the demand will skyrocket.

@Laguna, there are many people in the countryside with no trains or taxi service and almost no buses. Ride-sharing would be a lifeline for them.

Cutting down trees in Ochanomizu is NOT the was to reduce heat. Start planting full-size trees everywhere there is even a tiny space.

So, still not resolved right?

...each

For reasons unknown of the posted speed limits are too low. And probably 95% of drivers in Japan do not go the speed limit. It’s dangerous to drive the speed limit here.

Recruit the experts in Roppongi & Kabukicho to help

That’s why it’s ludicrous to buy any kind of fast Car in Japan – – bicycles are often faster. It’s saved me a lot of money.

This is meaningless, when most workers can’t even take the holidays they are allotted now

We want to know what kind, model notebook

13% seems low for rush hour. Silly stats
