guess 2026 japan will be having much lesser crowd with absense of china tourist and maybe certain sensitive country traveller too, probably very very very nice to travel.

so r u got plan to go or join the cause and boikoti

Yes!!! Cheaper Yen , cheaper flight , less crowd and low demand

better travel before june after june i think gotany new taxes and in far future need visa

now already 3x tourist tax

up 18%

AI Overview
Japan's hotel prices have seen significant increases, with average room rates up by roughly 40% compared to 2019 and some reports noting an 18% increase year-over-year.
This surge is driven by record inbound tourism, a weak yen, limited hotel supply, and rising operational costs, which are leading to higher rates, especially in peak seasons and popular tourist destinations.

Japan for weebs and people with influenza JAV

Japan will still see some mature-minded and above average income CCP travelers

hope their overall quality is better than the low level cockroach B20 little pinks

but that also means those locust would flood Malaysia instead.. how lah

thought Covid would have wiped out most of them

All depends on how they treat tourists...

They seemed quite sure tourists are not welcomed, even before this new PM.

Why would anyone go to a country that doesn't want tourism to begin with?

I have a face that japanesemoi loves so why not

aussie, uk, hongkong shitty attitude pll still go what

Japan never go before. Is there where the Xiao Loong Bao comes from?

i don't care they welcome or not

me as a Mesian tourist, i go there, i do mine, they do they, i respect their pace, i don't try to become their boss, i get and enjoy their service

in fact, you'd see more chinese signages in their places compare to KL,

Nga Kor Ming and Tio King Sing need to answer this!

land issue is more important than signage

tourists are not welcomed but love money. terpaksa welcome

Yes thinking should I revisit again for Sakura season .just back from Japan last month.. now sad 😢

Even their SA way back 10 years ago also catering for PRC ppl.
Some of them memang layan both Japanese/Chinese speaking customers

Some PRC migrated to Japan to stay/live /work there.

Better than your 18 Jan kelate PuAS state

dont be naive
China peoples will visit japan again within 3-6 months.

18 Jan meme not scare kena bora2 again ke?

now is the best time to go
but no money

r u borget vat happen on 11th of sebtembor? obama

Err... tak ada boikot?
Atau boikot not effective?

in fact the japs employers treat the chinese workers much better than their own kind in mainland CCP

not that they specifically want to treat the chinese better, but just because in general japs employers have to adhere strict OSH regulations, the safety helmet given, for instance are top notch, and when the outdoor temperature and humidity exceeds certain level, they will call for work paused

even chinese workers vouch for that

something wumaos and little pinks could never understand

1. still early
2. japan forever more expensive than other countries like thailand, vietnam.

if I were you , I would go for english class

People don't welcome you at all you still want to go and be a nuicense.

Wait till JP terang terang says they welcome all tourists except China tourists lar... or at least Malaysians are welcome then you go lor.

Yup. Recently I went to Ryokan style hotel. I expect the worker is japanese. Turns out the worker is PRC which has been migrated to Japan for 7 years and continue stay/working there.

He said the environment in Japan is much better than PRC themselves.
No doubt Japan is one of their migrate countries in mind.

actually thanks to Mahathir

Japs perception of Mareshians are not bad

ask type Ms to pick between CCP and Japan, more than half would pick Japan

we can only hope the Mesians don't spoil the good names

Don't be surprised when greeted by Bharat instead

cannot compare 1st world tourism with 3rd world lah bang

its like comparing Mercs with Myvi

in fact Japan is cheaper than SK and SG in Asia region

its the most affordable 1st world country

*Australia maybe cheaper but its not as convenient, and AMDKs probably more disgusted looking at yellow skin Asians

Best time to go, and we will be more appreciated.

while the lack of PRC tourist horde is appreciated, but Japan isnt as cheap as it used to be ed

so still remain cautious to travel there often unless you guys really loaded

Twist and turn... Now claim M did good. Nothing to do with the fact.

Jp already said tourists are not welcome. Die die still want to twist and turn.

When I was in my 20s, Japan is top of the list to visit...

Now Im 45 and still havent been to Japan... and losing interest in Japanese stuffs.

Jp my annual jalan2

go watch some live street interview in Japan la

don't just watch brainless wumaos Tiktok and Douyin

they are very welcoming TW and even SK tourists

money maybe can't match that of CCP, but Japs never about making much money anyway, besides that, much of the business in tourists hotspots are owned by CCP chinese, in the end who's gonna hurt the most? the CCP businessmen

i purposely avoid places because of crowd
if no crowd i would love to go

JP essentially said don't welcome any tourists... been all over the news... blamed tourists for expensive rice... vandalism lar...
purposely discriminate tourists by charging extra...

want to be silly also don't be stupid lar... its 2025... internet is free to access.

Pergi je. I wanna visit that slam dunk scene at Kanagawa when I have the chance.

soon many suicide forest in making.

been there once (osaka), a few isolated encounters made me changed my mind to visit that country again.

the JP travel marketing is stronk as hell, even people who have no interest in japanese stuff goes to japan because of socmed spam. but they all kept going same spots lmao (Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto)

thats why they dont really have over-tourism, only too many tourists flocking to same place causing congestion while the lesser known places are ignored.

what makes Japan returnable to visit is because Japan walks the talk in terms of what they have to offer for tourists;

you want shopping spree? got
you want nature? got
you want good food? got
you want winter? got
and so on..

Share the story bro

They ok with well behaved tourist

Bonus if you're Angmoh. They veryf friendly with them

1) just alighted the train at a station and preparing to go to the hotel with my luggage, then saw a drunkard shouting "i will kill you" (in japanese, multiple times) at the platform, i just walked past and go to the nearest elevator, and then he took the same elevator with me, dllm. Luckily nothing happen, and he became normal again when see a station police.

2) bought something at a shop, then i heard the cashier asked me if i have membership card, I didn't understand, so i asked him in detail in japanese (i also know abit of japanese). He heard my accent does not sound japanese, he just raised his hand, and not answered any of my question, oh well, i just leave the shop then.

3) I asked for a steam bun at a convenient store (in japanese), the cashier ignored me totally.

Just a cold society, never feel like going there again.

Currency Cantik + less crowd wow

ok don't go then, nobody force you to go

not like you can afford anyway

yes i will.. with lesser crowds life will be much better for me

planning another osaka-nara-kyoto trip next year

my friend when she was travelling in some rural part of central Japan, she got yelled at in the train by some unker in mixed japanese and english with words she can only understand "go back!"

i encountered similar experience during osaka too, just walking past a restaurant out of nowhere 2 waiters outside were asking if im chinese dog

putting that experience aside i feel like macam overrated nothing much hoohaa like you see on internet and people sharing their reels..but then i only visited the most common 3 cities during that trip. Might give another try to Hokkaido in future. Food also so so its mostly salty very 1 dimensional taste or i went to wrong restaurants.

see av woh, sure go

i kena similar situation

1) train counter attendant was rude when my partner accidentally cross the ticket booth when the icoca tag was invalid.. he shouted HEY COME HERE.. then nagged in japanese.. we just sumimasen sumimasen till he invalidate the card tag

2) family mart staff. was ordering ice latte took the cup from freezer n go to counter. he spoke in japanese which i dont und wtf.. i just say ice latte.. then he nag dunno wat wat yada yada shit. i raised my voice again ICE LATTE.. paid>make my coffee>ciao. still can here him nagging while waiting for my latte to be done.

3) pokemon card shop at american street. no ppl at the counter. called the lips pearcing thin japanese lady with emo style to come open glass door to choose my card.. didnt bother to respond and cont playing her phone.she was attending to another japanese customer before that. i just ciao

4) some local makan place at umeda. 50s uncle and aunty manning the shop.. went in to request seat for 2.. aunty was so good layaning us and plan to place us in a seating. suddenly the uncle be like “DA ME! DA ME!” aunty face bersalah d n apologize to us.. i guess the uncle duwan serve gaijin kot..so ciao find other place


but again these are like 20% bad experience only out of my overall trip. there are many more friendly, polite and helpful japanese from my encounters.. i kinda understand some of their reaction prolly kena from rude tourists before.. so i just dont mine and avoid confrontation as much as i can

these negative thing wont stop me from revisiting bcs i love travelling there!

Bad tourist, not all. I just went few months back, ok je. I go where also irasshaimase.

Idgaf

I go there during sakura season next year

like?

of course la irasshaimase, want ur money ma $😁
after u gone, xenophobic chit chat commence.

was in osaka / kyoto during the sakura season this year
whole 14 days trip was so pleasant
all the young japanese girls were to pleasant in the bar
topkek

never, i only cuti cuti malaysia, some type think i am tourist here, naiisee

they can talk shit behind my back for all they want but when my hand is holding a stack of cash - u girls better suck it good and say thank you when i CIM

Who doesn't. We here also want ccp tourist money only ma. You want make lup to them?

what if one day your daughter assigned to serve them? also let them CIM in exchange of $$ ?

glad that you like the place and culture. For me, i wouldn't mind visiting again but not my first choice when planning for my vacation. Just feel in "shackle" when travelling there and afraid of offending the local people.

food was nice, supermarket and convenient store too. Attractions also interesting. But is it a must go again for me? hmm, not really, i just interested in their gundam anyway, which there are many official stores in other better countries, so Japan is no longer among my first choice of holiday destinations.

That was a good read. Thanks for sharing.

I was planning a solo trip to Tokyo end of this month. Hope wouldn’t encounter such bad experiences

Yes no PRCs best time to go.

have u seen the price drops for hotels and airlines! OMG...

Got ar? Hmmmmm.

Just balik from jp from one of the least traveled prefecture.

if u go those main cities, every experience u go is manufactured and streamline. Forget local culture, ur vacation just become a hop and go. 打卡only.

Able to speak Japanese with local opens up many many doors, the lady that sells tea leave keep talking and explaining, and brewing more for me to taste test, u won't see that kind of passion at cities.

KL -> Xiamen -> Tokyo (Narita) and return = total RM 2.8K per person (including tax).
Hotel > around Tokyo between RM 400-600 per night.

Go soapland and tobita shinchi release on them

MH 's Klia - Narita rm 1850 return per pax with 35kg check in luggage.

Mcm boikot belum ada effect.

This is December price. Try looking at April 26. 💖
