The difference in local vs. tourist pricing isn't that much. I don't mind paying more. If the locals are suffering, it's only right that tourists support the economy. Son and I are planning a November trip; however, aside from a change of scene, he wants to learn the styles (he's a hairstylist, so he's looking for more inspiration for his next shows). I might take him out of the tourist areas once he gets his inspiration. Instead of a standard Kyoto experience, I might make him take the smaller trains frequented by high school students (that don't have any English support) to Amanohashidate. Akita has really good sweets, and maybe we'll go to Hokkaido. I must admit, I have a preference for weather in Sapporo. I remember, when it was so hot and humid in Chiba, flying to Sapporo made a big difference. More moderate and comfortable.

They want you to pay FOUR TO SIX TIMES the entry price at Himeji. And the mayor wants to make it even more!!! And I said it down below, but Japan is not a 3rd world country. People aren't making $2 an hour. Japan IS EXPENSIVE. So expensive that millions of people who perhaps thought that they'd never be able to afford Japan are jumping at the opportunity to go to an expensive place for a bit cheaper than normal. Not cheap. Just cheaper than normal. Like buying a luxury good for 1/3 off. Japan isn't poor- the money isn't going to go help the destitute. Dual pricing is just some of them being inhospitable. And I've read comments on Japanese twitter- there's likely a xenophobic angle as well. Personally, I haven't really found much issue with that in Japan. People aren't like that. Twitter isn't real life. But when they start making these sorts of proposals it serves as a beacon for people with anti-foreigner sentiment.

The 'tiered pricing' is good for some locals when the pricing shifts are generalised and are at street level (food stores etc), but ask yourself, how many tourist attractions in your home town do you go to? I live in a tourist trap that charges the same for locals and tourists through all types of shopping/services. The greed knows no bounds! I believe strongly that the necessities of life (food, water, shelter) should not be overpriced as they are a basic human right. Accommodation taxes cannot be wiggled out of unless you stay somewhere else completely and I am all for that. I am willing to let the *absence* of 'new pricing' guide where I go (I am sure the internet will create a map of these friendly places). I am a budget traveller, an unwelcome guest. Japan has taken to wanting 'high value' (aka rich) tourists which is as inhospitable as it gets. You cannot tell who will be a well behaving guest by the brand of their suitcases, the labels on their clothes or the colour of their credit card! What you *can* tell is how much money you can extract from them. There are collection boxes for charities at the airport and in shops. I would rather see 'Mr and Ms Platinum Visa'' drop some big notes in these. Help those who really need helping, not greedy businesses and civil authorities. Japan has a homeless problem, a DV problem... do something to bring happiness to the hidden populations of Japan the authorities don't want travellers to know about.

There are so many complexities with a two-tier pricing system. Economies/currency exchange all over the world shrink and then grow again, it's a matter of riding the wave. Currently Japan is enjoying mass tourism turning profits for businesses. During CV Japanese businesses were going broke due to no tourists visiting. A 2 tier pricing system would only bring about a sour taste in the mouth of past and potential tourists to Japan. Japan is a 1st world country and is currently the 4th biggest economy in the world, we're not talking about a third world country here. During 2016-2019 it cost Australians 119-127c to buy 100 YEN but we didn't see any tourist discount pricing or vouchers for visitors. Currently at last, AU100c = 100yen, not all currencies worldwide are killing it against the Yen. Japan needs to be very careful that the introduction of a two-tier pricing system could come back to bite them socially, economically and racially on a world stage. Australia takes in touring visitors from all over the world, visitors from the USA pay US65c for a AU$1 product in Australia and they're welcome to do so ... at no surcharge. Japan's government needs to come up with solutions to ease the financial burden on Japanese citizens internally without leaning on visitors to their country.

Japan isn't cheap. It's not SE Asia where I have no problem in ordering 2-3 different amazing meals at a time. Don't have to be choosy, you have the privilege of buying both!! Pre-inflation and exchange rate change, it was basically ****ing expensive. Look at that fancy place's lunch price of 5500 yen! It feels like "$55" for the locals and don't want the foreigners feeling like it's $36 so charge them $43 instead. When I was there at 80 yen to the dollar no one was giving me discounts. As if the "normal" 110 yen to the dollar isn't already expensive. So what is happening is people are going to a place that has historically been ****ing expensive... and getting a price that is a bit cheaper than where they're from. It's not super cheap, it's just a "good deal" of a PREMIUM location, so to speak, compared to usual. It's not like locals are making $2-4 an hour so you dual price things up to $5-8 or so and it's still super cheap to tourists so the locals win and the tourists aren't really bothered by the increase. No, Japan IS EXPENSIVE. It's just on discount now. With the favorable exchange rate you get to pay about 2/3s of ****ing expensive. So dual pricing is just insulting.

Ай бұрын
Being from Hawaii, a major global tourist destination, I totally understand the double pricing system unlike most watching this. I can confidently say it makes logical sense, but from the person who actually calls that place home. Like they literally live there every single day. It's ironically the issue in itself. The problem is tourist entitlement. Just because they have a lot of money, that means that they're entitled to whatever they want however they want it, and what's worse is that many are on "vacay" behavior. Throwing trash on the street. Drunken street fights, blatantly crossing not using a side walk and making me slam my breaks while they don't even glance at me. These people are so entitled that they don't need to consider anything/anybody at all, and end up trusting me with their very lives! That puts me into serious manslaughter territory, and no one should be able to make me a murderer. Sometimes I literally see tourists stopped in the actual road that they're driving on, and we're talking major road, lots of traffic kind of situations. Like you said, many are cool and respectful just trying to explore a new land. But the ones that are disrespectful and inconsiderate, that happens way more often now than when I was a kid. This point being that the cool ones generally fly under our radar since they're being respectful and normally going about their day just like we are in our own. So that's net neutral. However, the immature ones DO stand out and make negative impacts, sometimes ruining my entire day. Cause legitimate trouble. This isn't going to translate well on the whole, and quite a few locals just think potential issue when we think tourist..since that literally could be the case as that has happened all throughout our lives, and it's only getting worse. From my mind, I like when they ask me questions about island history, since that person legitimately wants to learn and be involved. But when you think about it, I don't really gain anything like they did. Now they know what I shared with them, and that's it. Just to lay things out. So it's either a non issue net neutral, a straight up horrible experience, or a largely one sided one. Personally, I see most of this as having to put up with the bad eggs, since there are many over here. This is our home, and we got guys literally pissing on the sidewalk right out in the open YOLOing out since tourist party time mode has been activated. The broader more objective case, is really what matters here. Things are tough out here. Everything has to literally be shipped in on the world's largest ocean. We have the highest living cost in the nation, so that should be enough to make this point. Tourists might scream and shout about how they want their priceless memorable vacation and they want it on the cheap, but that's the first world entitlement talking. Rent is ridiculously high here, while minimum wage is literally unlivable in comparison. Things are hard out here, even moreso for smaller businesses. And people want for them to charge their low supply product cheaply for your high demand? Doesn't make sense. Business doesn't work that way. It's low SUPPLY, HIGH demand. And we all know that this translates to higher prices all around on the demand side of things, since there's less product laying around. This is grade school econ. So how's about these shops just close down completely so that you AND the locals never get to buy anything from them again? Because trying to turn a profit is a lot higher here (and Japan as stated in this vid), so I guess the lives and livelihoods of these people are invalidated..as the way for them to succeed here is apparently what's being demanded away from them by the poor victim tourists who now have to pay fair relative prices on their vacation in paradise. There's a difference between appropriately adjusting prices in a TOURIST based economy, and simple price gouging for ridiculously opulent gains. This is considered a paradise, and Japan is too just in different ways. Paradise ain't cheap. What about going to a club with a special DJ, you think their drinks aren't going to be hundreds percent overpriced? What about a movie, how many thousands of percents higher are their net profits as opposed to the cost of soda syrup and corn kernels alone? Doesn't seem like anyone has a problem with that, and these aren't even life changing unique novel experiences we're talking about here, as compared to these 2 island tourist destinations. Again, these are literally 2 WORLD CLASS tourist destinations we're talking about here, top shelf stuff. Without Kama'aina rates, I can't even afford to eat out nowadays. Seems like the tourists don't care about the island or the ones actually populating it, since all that matters is that they get a piece of paradise literally for a steal. Everyone else can just go die somewhere else out of the sight of their vacation paradise. Pretty selfish thinking now that I've brought a locals perspective into this, right? Should these establishments ONLY cater to the tourists who are apparently ok blowing money on things like an overpriced hotel? The locals who literally live here 24/7, shouldn't be priced out of their own metaphorical homes..which unsurprisingly is another massive literal issue here. It's not just about your vacation. People actually live here and raise families in these places. This isn't a zoo, nor is Japan.

Double pricing is a not a good thing. Not every country is having a great exchange rate. Also at some point the exchange rates will change, thus potentially making it too expensive as who thinks they will really remove the two tier prices later? Also those fines for the really bad behaviour is way too low. Needs to be 10x higher at least and the law to come down harder on them. Especially as they are soo disruptive to the locals and paints all tourists with the same brush.

Foreign tourists visiting Japan know that the country's famous tourist sites are already crowded. Visiting the Samurai Road offers a unique opportunity to directly experience Japan's history. This includes the Five Highways, such as the Tokaido and Nakasendo, as well as historic castle towns and battlefields scattered throughout the country. Experiencing Japan's history also means engaging with its traditions, and visitors should show the same respect and consideration as they would when visiting temples and shrines.

8:00 That is some ridiculous sensationalistic scaremongering. A megalopolis such as Tokyo should be perfectly able to handle those visitors and more. Less populated countries than Japan receive proportionally much larger numbers of tourists without getting into these hysterics as we're witnessing in Japan in the last year or so. What Japan needs to do is to learn to handle these increasing numbers of visitors, not to instill fear of them amongst the population. The problem of tourism in Japan is that most tourists go to the same few spots and crowd them out, coupled with the relatively restricted tourism calendar that concentrates visitors in two yearly windows of opportunity, Spring (march-april) and Autumn (october-november). What Japan should do is promote other destinations within Japan out of the Tokyo - Kyoto axis, as well as try to promote different kinds of tourism for the Winter and Summer in order to spread out visitors rather than concentrate them.

Well actually for the dual pricing, it's pretty common in the eastern side at least for tourist attractions and less commonly food. Personally I'm alright with higher tourist pricing for attractions, because at least where I'm from, it's pretty normal. It was more of a "subsidized pricing" for locals and permanent residents, which is common especially in South East Asia. I'm against food prices being higher for tourists, unless they're being upfront about it.

I don't mind paying more as a tourist. I am more difficult than a person who is fluent in

Hello, I was wondering, if I can share with you the most important thing ever in life. God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. Then He was put into a tomb for 3 days, after that Abba Father raised Jesus to life.He appeared to people, and went back to heaven. We all must sincerely receive Jesus into our life to be God's child. See John 1:12 for this please. Will you today genuinely by faith receive Jesus into your life for salvation?

Do respect the locals. Tipping is considered impolite to some Japanese.
