Extreme tourism influx due to covid rebound and weak yen. And most Japanese people not being observant enough to understand that those foreigners causing trouble (or simply just putting pressure on existing infrastructure) is not the residents but shitty tourists.

Most of the issue they have would be reduced if the yen got stronger or they introduced some expensive tourist fee, but that's very unlikely

> most Japanese people not being observant enough

If you have contempt for most Japanese people, after years of residing in Japan, then you may be the sort of person they'd prefer not to have.

Yeah, I was going to point that out too

Very arrogant for the GP to think they are in a position to characterise "most Japanese people" as "not being observant enough"

Most people in any nation aren't observant enough, without exception. Since it's the Japanese people whose opinion counts here, it's their turn right now to be called out for it.
