The Superdeep Borehole / Re: The Japan Thread
« Last post by Polident Hive on April 17, 2025, 11:50:03 PM »It is thankfully localized. But boy am I jealous of anybody here when it was locked down. Any popular sites or touristy spots are a no go. Day to day, sometimes week to week, it’s not a huge factor.
In Kamakura I was given some recommendations for cafes and such. Places that don’t have thousands of google reviews. Only Japanese customers (myself and guest excluded), only Japanese menus, very nice staff. Then you go by one with those reviews. Long lines, mostly non-Japanese, staff is exhausted and understandably irritated.
It’s not a new thing. Always been the case in any heavily touristy areas in Europe. During COVID I had friends in Italy realize, hey, Venice is nice without the people. But the scale is unreal. There was a headline about more tourists in the first four months than Japan used to see in the entire year.

I know Japan is relieved to get some money that are supporting the microeconomies of many cities, but they're also contending with a horde of people who don't understand ANY of the tacit expectations and myriad of social contracts in place here.

But good lord the fatigue and frustration is felt. A stop on the enoden line had swarms of people. The traffic guides were cursing and almost hitting people. The tourists were running onto the train tracks to take a photo of the train arriving behind them.
