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

    2. 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.

    3. 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

    7. 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

    9. 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.

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