What was he doing there in first place anyways?

Teaching Japanese on a failed state doesn't seem too smart to be honest.

Abe, with his Abenomics, is responsible for almost everything that happened in the last 5 to 10 years. The collapse of the currency, the inflation, the stagnant salaries, the collapse of the Pension fund (seems like everybody forgot about that and the shenanigans he pulled with it), etc.

Please stop praising that guy. It brang the downfall of the powerful Japanese economy, as everyone knew it, to what it is today...

It's the LDP. LDP is the cancer that made Japan go into recession and burts the economic bubble.

Do you consider the Japanese Imperial Army's genocides and massacre of nearly 30 million people while 20 million Chinese, a war crime?

Those 2 American atomic bombs kills as many Japanese as the imperial army was killing in 1 week.

Let's stop victimizing Japan and tell the historical truth.

All the Cults, where you have to pay subscriptions, should be deemed illegal.

Too many weak minded people pouring fortunes into those leechers out of desperation and for moral support....which never comes sadly.

Another reminder of the passiviness, lack of any spine cord and acute cowardice of the Japanese officials.

To be honest, Ghosn was always a diabolical person, however he did resurrect Nissan from bankruptcy.

The he was axed in the most callously way possible while being served a 3rd world country justice with zero chance for a fair trial. We get it, he was a bad person. But the way was treated by Nissan in cohorts with the extremely corrupt Japanese "Justice" system was only possible in complete failed countries such as NK, Russia or the instable African countries...

As a Japanese coworker told me recently, the Japanese people think outside the box ONLY when they are trying to harm or injure somebody. Their imagination and originality then really becomes world class.

Too many tourists makes the onsen water drops. Got it.

We need a clarification thought. Is it because of domestic or foreign tourists??

Is very important.

Since I stop lending people money, my stress level went down significantly.

Ishiba doing great job to revitalize Japan's economy and increasing the life wellness and live condition of the Japanese people I see.

Taxpaiers money at work. Briliant PM

Funny thing is that there are ZERO (0) capable and strong leaders in the corrupt LDP who can be a proper PM for Japan. None.

@ HopeSpringsEternal,

The Shinkansen infrastructure is THE MOST advanced in the World, and it is not even a competition. Or so you think is the same level as it was in the '60s ?? :))

I recommend Nagoya train museum for a breakdown of all Shinkansen infrastructure, safety protocols, rail information, etc, etc.

Japan is the only country in the world who has the record of 0 (ZERO) Shinkansen related fatalities due to derailments, accidents, etc.

You should do a lot more researching before starting to troll here.

@tora

Exactly. Is always the same everywhere. Any additional taxes or costs are ONLY supported by the end user, not by the companies. Same as with the weak Yen. The government is making most of the mega corporations ultra rich, while the local population suffer from the inflation and lower real salaries.

Why do the Japanese people always choose the most violent ways to die, I never understood.

Doing a supradose of pain killers is not only painless, but also doesn't inconvenience the people arround. Not that I'm encouraging this situations.

I feel like more psychiatric clinics should be open in Japan, Korea, etc.

How can people avoid moving by the end of March, when all schools, for example, start on April, and also the Financial year starts during the same time, 1st of April.

The dear Minister should talk to the Education and Work ministers to changes some of the dates, not to put the burden only on the tax payers.

When various media, including JT, have articles that promotes hostess clubs, or any other adult theme occupations that blatantly objectified women, does anyone wonder about this anymore?

Because of such mentality, young women in Japan tend to only go for the high paying jobs, which you guessed, they are ALL in the adult industry only, such as host clubs, kyabakuras, snack bars, or any other simmilar.

And they they offer lower salaries than even 10 years ago. God forbidden to increase them. Those yearly record profits need to come from somewhere.

Since I work in the exact area, I can tell you right away, that the salaries they offer is ridiculously low compared to other countries.

The article also fails to present why is this the case. The misogynistic patriarchy culture tells only a part of the story.

However more than half of the reasons is that the women CHOOSE NOT TO WORK.

Every Japanese women and girl I know dreams on finding a reach person and become a housewife. Especially if she is cute and schoolgirl jolly, like most of the Japanese prefer. The women actually do not want long hours and responsibility roles, they prefer to stay home and have the husband as an ATM.

So very much if this is choice based, not misogynistic.

Talking about making a dragon out of a mosquito.

Seriously, why is this even an article, but most curious, why is JT promoting this very unknown vlogger? ;)

US Americans must be so shamed of having an orange clown as President who doesn't have even the basic knowledge of history or previously signed treaties.

He callously showed it with the Ukrainian President, where he didn't have a clue about the non-nuclear treaty signed on 5th Dec 1994, where the US and UK guarantee the protection of Ukraine after they renounce the nukes.

He is showing it yet again now with Japan.

How did such a clueless individual ever become President!??

While at some degree I agree that some individuals no longer deserves to live, such as the one PROVEN they did very horrendous crimes, the death penalty murder should be only conducted by the family of the victim(s), on person, and while looking the criminal in the eyes before the execution.

No other person should take another person's life.

Nice. Prepare to see now copycat crimes, just like în the case of those sushi restaurants.

@Wasabi:

In my country almost no doctors are speaking Japanese( except the ones that might have been schooled in Japan), however, ALL of them, including nurses and assistant doctors, speak English.

And do mind, we do not have English as a 2nd official language. ;)

The weak Yen is only beneficial to the mega corporations, and a disaster for the local population.

But then again, never thought I would give Trump the credit, the Japanese government and bank are ONLY working for their Corporate masters, NOT for the population who elected them, knowing that they would never ever, go into, God forbidden, strikes, protests, manifests, etc over the bad leadership of their government.

Here the most used word is "Shoganai", so basically the government can do whatever, nobody will bat an eye.

Shoganai.

Time for the World to regain its independence, both military and economic from the USA.

Japan included.

As the facts have proven yet again, USA cannot longer be trusted, but also cannot be respected anymore.

At least not as long those Russian sold bullies from the White House are in power.

I would prefer hospitals to be English friendly too, but to be honest I never understood how doctors in Japan are unable to speak English, even if most of the curriculum to become a specialist, is mostly in English.

Oh the callous hipocrisy and ridiculous double-standards, when "foreigners" are involved.

Meanwhile the Japanese only brothels, sorry soap lands, delivery healths, etc are doing billions without nobody even blinking an eye, but when an establishment that accepts foreigners is discovered, is hell on Earth.

We need a list of those 44% that still do business with the terrorist state for name and shame.

The Russian state should be 100% isolated and enforced by the UN until the actual leadership and state doctrine is 180° changed.

Funny. 95% of tourists coming by car are locals or Japanese.

The irony.
