"As a Japanese, I don't think having companies bought out by foreign firms is good in principle,"

heheh oh the irony

Would love to see a new article or an update. There is a massive influx of foreign skiers and snowboarders. While the main resort remains Niseko, places like Hakuba are also seeing good growth. While not all ski resorts are mentioned, www.freshsnow.jp seems to cover the majority and certain all the big one.

Japan worried about Sri Lanka’s debt ;-)

this is a copy of Japan’s constitution:

Article 14. All of the people are equal under the law and there shall be no discrimination in political, economic or social relations because of race, creed, sex, social status or family origin.

Now read the case of

“A decision last year by the Justice Ministry's Kyoto bureau not to pursue a complaint against a landlord's no-foreigners policy showed Japan was "utterly unprepared" to move on instances of discrimination, according to an expert.”, - BY TOMOHIRO OSAKI , Apr 9, 2015, https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2015/04/09/national/social-issues/anti-discrimination-laws-sub-par-expert/

I do not have a paid subscription for the above link but if my memory serves me correctly, this did go to court and was ruled not discriminatory.  

Good luck with consultations with Ministry of Justice!
