Amusingly, my family was on a vacation, and were on a hiking trail above Zermatt. There was a hand written sign offering a fancy meal at a nearby restaurant, in four languages:

German, French, English, and Japanese

"Watched too much anime" is common nowadays.

For tourists?

Yes. It was an area where tourists probably outnumbered locals. Probably the most tourist-y town I've been in. We stayed in a town further down the valley, which was substantially cheaper and more pleasant, but the hikes above Zermatt are still spectacular.
