Posted in: Japan sees China's military buildup as serious concern See in context
I don't 100% blame China because it seems that in their eyes everyone is out to get them, especially the USA who is out to contain them. They do have a history of foreign suppression from the West and Japan so I don't blame them. They want to be strong militarily so the so-called "Century of Shame" from Western powers and Japan may never repeat.

I have tried using Airbnb thrice in Japan once in each Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka and never had any major issues. There was some minor issues like pocket wifi was not available even if landlord said there was. But nothing that totally ruined the experience.

Posted in: Survey picks 8 most disappointing sightseeing spots in Tokyo See in context
Yeah if you are a first timer I still believe a visit to the Skytree is a must. Just for the heck of it. But forget going up as there are better and way cheaper places to get city view. Me thinks the Tokyo Metro building in Shinjuku is a better choice for viewing the city. Its free too and its not too crowded.
