Why Tourism Anxiety is Surging in Japan

Описание: In contrast to the Japanese government's plan, which aims to increase more tourists, many residents are anxious; "No! We are not capable of handling any more tourists!" "I don't want my city to become another Kyoto!" "Japan is being taken advantage of by gaijins!" "With weak yen, please don't bring more gaijins here!" "Tourists are causing problems more than immigrants!" etc.

These comments have been so common to see among Japanese people both in person and online throughout this year.

2024 was quite tough for Japan in the sense that the country faced a lot of problems related to tourism in many forms (rising prices, graffiti, vandalism, littering, etc) especially in Kyoto.
I've met many locals who were concerned that they would get the same or even worse in 2025.
But what should be really done to minimize the tourism problems?

04:19s: are not 'used' to gaijins at all.
