Amazingly, until 2025, there were no such common sense rules.

And people say the the overly toxic work culture of Japan is an exagerration...

Russia, the failed terrorist state, seems to continue barking at neighbors, like a stray dog who was kicked out from the Global Familly. He still have some friends, among the lowest of the scum, like Iran, NK, Belarus, however, the moment it will start biting instead of barking, it might be quickly reminded that there is no place for this kind of savage behavior on those times.

Chinese "learned", or better said, copied again something else from the Russians.

People with more money than common sense...

Trash in the train usually can be seen at the latest running hours, when trains are full of tired and drunk people, among others.

I never eat rice except when going for sushi, or other traditional Japanese or East Asian cousines.

I prefer a freshly baked hot steamy bread instead, but very hard to find in Japan a quality bread beakery. They mostly serve baghets, baguettes, or similar, not so bready stuff.

I can survive 3,4 days without food, and you cannot survive 1H commuting?

Give me a break please.

Japan nowadays lagas about everything related to IT and technology, compared to 20-30 years ago. It lags so hard, that it felt from the 2nd most powerful economy, to 5th place, even behind India. Not to mention that a single USA state, California, has a stronger economy than Japan.

This is ridiculous and the reasons are too many to write here...

Japan is the only country in the world that punishes you severely for self defending against a house thief for examole, a person who hostile enters into your own home (!!).

So basically if the robber enters your home and you're defending with a bat or a knife, or whatever tool you can find, you get to be condamned. Even if he is the intruder.

And if you are also a foreigner, the conviction rate is 100%.

The United States ran a $69.4 billion trade imbalance in goods with Japan in 2024 and a $66 billion imbalance with South Korea,

Yes, but the White House senile doesn't get it that this deficit is NOT because of tariffs imposed by Japan, but mostly because USA it's a consumer country, therefore it imports more than it produce. Japan doesn't need American products, but USA needs Japanese products. That's the difference!

Problem is not the population decline, but population migration to the biggest cities.

The government is absolutely zero interested in helping young generation in moving to country side for farming, growing crops, etc, while the younger generation have zero interests for country type of work. Already entire villages and small cities are starting to look like ghost towns.

Why when there is a fraud, cheating or simmilar actions done in Japan by foreigner, there is most of the time Chinese ONLY?

We understand they are overwhelming majority as foreigners and tourists also, but this is no excuse. They give the rest of the foreigners a very bad image in Japan, but worst that that, they în force even further the stereotypes and Xenophobia against ALL foreigners, not only the Chinese.

A very unsatisfied customer...

Another day, another weirdo with no life purposes...

Japan, which does not impose tariffs on imported cars

This is a very fake statement and a lie. Not sure what is the purpose for this misinformation.

The tarrifs are actually hidden in various taxes, such as Import Duty tax 10%, Consumption Tax +10%, Automobile Aquisition tax + various Customs taxes with go up or more than another 10%.

That is a sensible safety standard.

I'm guessing this policy will try to be enforced by the cabin crew, using PA announcements and kindly asking the passengers to comply.

They forgot to mention that by raising the Gross salaries, the taxes also get a raise up too, basically canceling any feeling of growth. This is the real callous thing about all those so called "salary raises".

And btw, the yearly inflation and price hikes are way over 5%, more like double, that's why the Real salaries are getting lower and lower each and every month and year.

Cross you arms and wait for them to bumb into you. Then say something "sweet" to them.

That's why some of the houses are sold to naive foreigners for ridiculous cheap prices.

Ghosts in the house are just the romanticized version of termites inside one's walls, so that's that.

Increasing? Maybe JT has some official statistics they can show us?

The only thing that can be done is to educate people via TV, instead of brainwashing NHK news and simmilar.

Remind me again, what are those essentials products that Japan needs from USA, VS the other way around?

Offcourse. Record Tax revenues, record corporations profits, record price hikes, record inflation, it's all about beating the records! Meanwhile, the general populations is poorer and poorer, real salaries are getting lower and lower each month, quality of life lower and lower each months, and this with the complacency of the population, who knows only the shoganai.

There is something wrong with some of the Japanese male population. Too much old guys cheering to those little girls from Talento or simmilar, and now those kind of news...

Funny. Nobody în Japan comoins about this, just the usual shoganai all around.

In Europe it would have been massive protests over the constând degradation of the quality of life, lower salaries, high taxes, etc.

Japan? Shoganai.

I always find those kind of articles and police actions amuzing, if not ridiculous.

So they keep saying the gambling is illegal, however those Yakuza controlled Pachinkos, horse racings, sports betting, etc are all well alive and fine, but if you just gamble online, on a foreign server, is the end of the world??

The hipocrisy is outstanding. Basically they can choose what is legal gambling and what is ilegal gambling based on what? Whatever their Yakuza sponsors and masters are saying?

@Haaa Nemui

If you stay outside Japan for more than 1 year, then you need to apply for an extension or permit to the Japanese Embassy of the country you are. Usually it's a simple process, but a little time consuming and can become annoying answering all kind of silly and frustrating questions to the embassy staff.

Xenophobia keep rising in Japan it seems....

I have friends that their daughter had to dye their hair because it was not black, even if she had natural yellow/brownish color. Also they are forced in the winter to wear short skirts with no cover pants under.

Really medieval and archaic mentality, I agree.

Good for them.

Booking.com is the same or worst.

They provide hotel rooms, taken by ghost foreign agencies from Singapore, HK, China, etc, without any possibility of canceling, changing dates, etc.

If challenged, they callously respond to contact the hotel or the 3rd party Agencies, even if those are just scamers or with very poor ratings.
