    Overtourism happened because of the Japanese government's incompetence, not because of the tourists. Instead of publishing the same news every day, how about directing your anger at the government, who still hasn’t done anything, rather than blaming all foreign tourists for imaginary crimes they haven't committed?

    Since Japan don't like Chinese then I think they should ban Chinese tourists and Chinese products…. They can make ask India or US to make😂😂😂

    Need to know the tourist with the real buying power. Got to say mainland Chinese don't really mind spending money on goods compared to other nationality tourist. While most ppl are there for nature & history/culture.

    I am in Japan now. I just finished a loop of San-in coast. Taiwanese, Korean, Hongkies. Not much Chinese. Perfect.

    Chinese travelers don’t only account for 30 percent plus but they’re by far the biggest spenders dwarfing all other countries.

    Japan's government issues tourist visas to the Chinese tourists. So that they came. If your people don't want the Chinese to overcrowd your precious little island, do something about it like maybe issuing less visas or provide services that help ease the matter. Its really confusing for the tourists to find themselves uninvited and embarrassing for the rest of the world to watch you guys to talk about ‘over-tourism’ (by the Chinese).

    Lol maid cafes are not really typical Chinese tourist destinations so ofc it's not impacted as much

    the thing is…. Chinese Tourists from China require a Japanese visa…. tourism is controlled by the Japanese government. If you dont want chinese tourists in Japan, then dont pass out so many visas……..

    I’m in Japan now and I can say for a fact this is untrue! I was in Fukuoka, Hiroshima now in Kyoto and tomorrow in Osaka. All hotel I used to stay in the past were fully booked. No
    Need to based on other establishments if hotels are full that means there are tourist! Perhaps some places where only mainland chinese frequent may see loss. But thats not where we go anyway! Each and every ferry from Hiroshima to Miyajima is packed. The street are crowded.
