That’s a good thing right?
Can’t tell if this is good news or bad news.
They wanted that (many Japanese people and the government), right?
Less tourists. Less people buying JPY. How could it be a good thing?
No it won’t. The news said the Chinese were not coming to Japan anymore and my city has more Chinese tourists than ever.
Also, it’s pretty clear that the yen will not stop melting in the foreseeable future, so Japan won’t stop getting cheap for everyone. The economy is so bad that the Japan trip is now cheaper than domestic travel for some countries.
Not projected for me. Already fell. This time last year my company was 90-95% capacity booked until july. Not even close this year, roughly 60%-70% booked. Obviously anecdotal evidence since its just one hotel but its like 20% down from last year, big drop.
I normally visit japan once every year or two but haven’t felt the desire lately. I’d rather go somewhere a bit cheaper and a bit more exotic with less tourists. This news aligns to my own experience to see my dollar go a bit further and to try something new. In future I think I will purely go to japan for specialist areas like Hokkaido for skiing or Kyushu for vibes and hiking – missing the capital cities entirely.
It’s what they wanted right?
Thought it’d be a way bigger decrease with Chinese out of the picture.
Because of this „news“ were actually going again. 6th time…6th and 7th time if the yen keeps dropping.
We’re planning Spring and Fall. Might bring 6 people with us like our 5th time.
Our Online Friends from Japan will take us to local Mom and Pop only stores and restaurants.
No Donkki
Straight local crafts, local artists, small stores.
Will take advantage of less crowds in temples and trains.
