    Japan

    Japaner können nicht einmal mehr im Inland reisen. Die ungewöhnliche Situation des „Reiserückgangs“ ist nicht nur auf Overtourism zurückzuführen.

      Barely touches on real issues at the end. Journalism really needs to step up.

      Stagnant wages and rising costs will do that.

      We used to take 5-6 little trips a year. Just a few days here and there over weekends, etc.

      Now we’re down to maybe 1-2, if that, and we still feel broke all the time.

      Essentially, Japanese people are getting poorer due to long-term wage stagnation and increasing prices, and the lack of work-life balance and difficulty in actually taking leave makes it difficult to go on a trip even if they can afford to do so.

      I said this in another sub and a bunch of folks who don’t even live here told me I was lying

      Hotels have gotten very expensive. Like I’m seeing prices that are double or triple compared to 4 years ago. That will lower the appetite for travel.

      I sometimes go to ryokan during the weekend. The price can easily go up to 40,000 yen for 1 night, and that’s for the „cheap“ middle-of-nowhere ryokans in Gunma and Fukushima.
      The ones in Hakone, Ikaho, Aomori etc. can be twice as expensive

      I stayed at an expensive onsen last week in Shirahama and it was full with mostly Japanese..

      I was surprised at how expensive it was to travel domestically in Japan. I thought I’d get to see more of it but between the costs of things and my salary, I didn’t see very much of Japan at all

      Wealth disparity is going to continue getting worse and nothing will change until society snaps. Then it will likely still be a short term band-aid since the system itself is broken.

      Well, with lesser demand, hotels, shops and transportation prices would have to go down too.
