Isn’t that a drop in the bucket compared to overall numbers?

I’ve had run-ins with many Chinese tourists in Japan. Some tourists were the worst people I’ve ever encountered in my fifty years of existence. In fact now when I holiday in Japan staying at business hotels, i skip my paid breakfasts just to avoid interacting with rude and aggressive Chinese tourists. But here’s the thing…. in almost all tourist destinations around the world, locals and governments try their best to put up with Chinese tourists purely because they help strengthen the economies of vacation destinations. Chinese tourists have a lot of money to spend. Really wish Japan had realized this, the Japanese economy is in dire need of economic stimulus and growth but politics is helping to ruin the Japanese economy. A weakening economy has repercussions for the Japanese and the scapegoated foreigners living and working there.
I’m a ski instructor in hakuba and over the new years vacation you could definitely feel the difference.
There were lines early in the morning but after 10 there were barely any queues to get on the gondola.

I doubt it. They’re coming back in droves during Chinese new year. Hotels are supposedly booked solid all over the place already.

People in this thread: this doesn’t affect me in a negative way so I will not only praise it but also get my chance to be racist towards the Chinese and tell all my stories of the Chinese tourists being the worst as a collective!

Japan economy is doing great. It doesn’t need more tourists to support its yen.
