Every year less and less places are exciting. In a few years we'll get to a point you can't even go to Mauritania without being jostled by five teenage blood drippers from New York before appearing in the background of their Instagram photos.

I envy people around 50 years ago.

-Not trolling

How was Japan different 10,20, or 30 years ago? Was it paradise? It seems like it’s extremely hard to even live their as foreigner now (rightfully so, it’s their country, they decide)?
>>
>>2465201
Not quite that long ago, but 8 years ago, normies were quite few. There were a lot of tourists then, but most were obviously weird weebs and some older travelers who’ve clearly traveled to many places around the world. Plus of course Chinese tourists had rapidly been ramping up, but they’d mainly visit one famous site then spend the rest of their trip visiting every single pharmacy and buying up random shit like diapers and lotion while a tour guide screamed through a loudspeaker.

I’ve seen it transition into normie millennial couples treating it like the new France for a romantic vacation, hordes of party bros, and tour groups of literal boomers taking their first trip outside of America. These three classes now vastly outnumber the weirdo weebs and the Chinese aren’t even back yet, yet there seem to be more tourists than there ever were even when Chinese tour groups were at their peak. It’s feeling like Tijuana or the Bahamas or some shit these days. At the same time, everyone thinks they’re going to be the only foreigner in Japan and they’ll be treated special.

You know it's over when even the biggest coomers like Daniel prefer Thailand over his beloved Japan

Just admit it, /trv/, Japan is the Italy for zoomer/millenials and is ruined permanently. I have no interest ever going there due to the commercialization and oversaturation of turbonormies. Japanese people are rude af with autism too.
>>
>>2465253

I think its okay. Its the Zoomers now who have always watched anime and consumed Japan pop-culture products but never have actually stepped foot in Japan. They are all amazed that there is an outside world of the USA and are humbled of how little they know. Also understand that foreigners have always done business there- no sense in gatekeeping it. Many foreign-exchange students that speak fluent Japanese. I believe its just social media content being made that had made you aware of it. Last I went, there were social media influencers doing skits in Shibuya. As long as they are not outright shitting on the culture and keep it the way it is- it should be alright. I'm seeing more youth Japanese open up in social media as well, when no too long ago they weren't even open to posting their faces online.

How fucking hard is it to go to the places the tourist hordes don’t congregate?
>>
>>2465516
I’ve been trying to avoid tourists by going to the least populated rural areas around Japan and I’m still finding tour groups of fucking boomers.

I went to a restaurant in the middle of a run down residential area with absolutely nothing around for miles and a tour group of 15 white millennials came in (thankfully) after me.

I’m at a point where I don’t know what the fuck these people are coming here for. I live here and at worst I’m out a few hours or a weekend if I go to a boring place. For some reason, people are flying to the opposite side of the world to go to the equivalent of Ohio suburbs. I don’t know what the appeal is to these people.

Bros. I lived abroad 15 years ago when I was 20. I got to see what the world was like before everyone had internet and a cell phone. It was glorious. Everyone was happier and they talked to each other. There was a greater sense of community. It frankly was a blessing and a course. The grief I feel from being unable to recapture that life makes me miserable, and the sense of impending doom torments me.

Not black people. I was talking about women, black people are everywhere now as well though, which is annoying. They want to do everything white people do.

You barely even spot weebs there lol. I was in Akihabara and Ikeobokuro like a week ago and it's just normie central. People see Tokyo like New York or Paris 2.0 now. Worst part about this is how prices have skyrocketed.
>>
What's the deal with foreigners in Japan hating on each other?
>>
>>2465775
All the major places are majority tourists now, but Akihabara, Asakusa and Tsukiji felt like there are no nips at all during office hours.

Oh what's the matter you insufferable hipsters. Japan is not your own personal paradise where you get to be the special gaijin? Yep, you're just another white person now. Better get used to it.
>>
>>2465253
I went in 2016 and there was already a lot of beta white guys and angry bitches being mad seeing other white in their fantasyland.
You'd get a dead stare in the metro or in matsuris when you crossed the only other white person there.

>>2465799
The Whites living in Japan are the worst losers and creeps in the West, when they see another gaijins, they have Vietnam flashbacks of their childhood being rejected and bullied.

they're not influential technically, but now like 90% of the faggots who've moved to japan go around saying they're """influencers""" or """content creators""" and shit's fucking annoying.
back in the day it was Chris Broad making a once-a-month sarcastic whine video, now every faggot is TikTok twerking in Himeji Castle and Akihabara

10 years ago when I was teaching there, in the "What do you want to be when you grow up?" lessons kids wanted to be sports stars, open their own restaurant or something.
According to a friend of mine that's still there, when they do that lesson now 90% of the kids want to be Youtubers and Twitch streamers

If you go literally 1-2 Miles outside the touristy area of Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, with maybe a smidge in Hiroshima and the ski resorts you have Japan pretty much "unspoiled by normies" whatever the fuck that means.

Akihabara is the worst. It’s full of people who clearly have no interest in anything and most of the people look outright disgusted by being there. Yet for some reason it seems to have more tourists than the rest of a Tokyo combined.

BAWWW MY POPULAR TOURIST DESTINATION FOR THE PAST 100 YEARS IS TOO POPULAR

kys
>>
>>2465811
A white girl bumped into me 2019 and said gomenesai to me despite myself also being white. That was just in akihabara but otherwise it was mostly chinese tourists with their families.
>>
>>2465201
I went in 2006 for the first time, and it was extremely different despite being less than 20 years ago. Very few white tourists even in Tokyo. More importantly, hardly any Chinese, mostly Koreans.
Nowadays it's hell if you want to go anywhere popular, you're better doing the intelligent thing and travelling to lesser-known areas with maybe a day trip to the must-see sites if it's your first time there.
Learning Japanese makes a huge difference as you can travel in more out of the way places and enjoy local restaurants etc., despite locals panicking because they think they'll have to use English kek.
I was always lucky enough to have Japanese friends though, so always enjoyed Tokyo nightlife with locals.

I'm glad I got to go pre-pandemic. Went there in 2017 with my at the time gf and while we were far from the only tourists, it still felt like we were just a few foreigners experiencing a genuine Tokyo.

Hearing that akihabara has become normie-central really sucks. It's like when I went to Soho in London in 2010, hoping for a punk/metal-mecca (a scene I was very much into at the time) only to see it being nothing but tourists, the few remaining punk/goth clothing stores now feeling out of place and strange.

Koreans are assholes though. Japanese have been giving less fucks to foreigners nowadays but at least they still mantain a certain code. Korea they can just flat out deny you especially if you dont speak their language.

Yeah, the entire younger generation becoming obsessed with anime and flocking to JP as their first choice for a visit to a foreign country has only made the locals fucking hate whites. I get it. All these obnoxious vloggers and weebs annoy me too so I get it. Back then being white was a good thing, practically meant free prime pussy. Now you go and you’ll see more American and Chink tourists than actual locals, the Americans will be “competing” with you, the Chinks will just be loud and exhausting, and the locals you do encounter will hate you
Yes I’m complaining but this is just how it is now. We didn’t bully people who watched anime enough and look at the state of things now…it’s now a substitute for a personality trait

There's westernized bars and restaurants where you can mingle with other foreigners and gaijin hunters. But more the most part you probably wont be able to meet-interact with Japanese natives on the regular if you dont speak Japanese. you gotta:
1. Live in Japan a long time
2. Actively seek out Japanese friend groups/circles
3. Studying and speaking Japanese

The reason it's harder today to get laid in Japan than it used to be is the same reason it's harder everywhere: dating apps. It has nothing to do with your race, idiot, and everything to do with the fact that women everywhere can get Chad banging their pussy within half an hour, which leaves you with your dick in your hands if you're not Chad. I'll say it again, for emphasis: It has nothing to do with race. Japoid non-Chads have it just as hard as chuddy whitoids.

In my experience, Koreans have really latched onto the StopAsianHate meme as an excuse to be really shitty to Westerners. It goes beyond the idea of "getting over our fantasies about white people" or "having self-respect and not fawning over people with no prospects in their own country" or whatever. It's more like they've collectively decided to treat us as badly as they think we treat them (minus the knockout game shit) by being almost theatrically cold and unfriendly.
>>
>>2467537

you should also appreciate all 7/11 and other konbinis are open all the time. so your gaijin ass can eat your sando n coke at whatever hour for your convenience. Whatever the color the clerks skin is at that point doesnt matter, its an awesome trade-off.

I honestly encounter more American servicemen than other Western foreigners just in tour. The exception to that is Osaka and Kyoto, where for some reason there's a bunch of obnoxious Eurofags.
>>2468202
I have mostly only encountered the Filipine types in the immediate vicinity of military installations and Osaka. But I do agree with you that there's a lot. But my experience is somewhat the opposite in that the majority of Filipinos and Chinese that I've met in Japan were middle-aged at their youngest.

But all of that is irrelevant because the main point of the OP was to bitch that normalfag Westerners ruined Japan by coming here, but like I was saying I haven't really run into that many who weren't already going to be here via the military installations, and having been here for as long as I have it's pretty easy to avoid them.

The point here isn't that people in every place are literally the same, or that your expectations literally determine the nature of a town or place's people, that would be stupid.

The meaning of the story is that your expectations to an extent determine your perceptions, which in turn influence your interactions with others: in this case, the implication is that a man who has confidence in himself, he is more likely to succeed in meeting Japanese women, on the other hand, if lacking in confidence in himself and feeling doomed to failure, this expectation will also likely be realised.

Feels autistic actually typing this, but there you go, this is 4chan(nel) and apparently sometimes it' necessary to spell things out: analogies, implications and humour do not translate well here.
>>
>>2468320
Agreed. Reading this thread makes me think of the dudes who never left Sailor Town/Filipina Alley in Sasebo and complain that Japan sucked and was filled with foreigners.

Fukuoka and Nagasaki are like a three hour bus/train ride away. Even Saga too, but there's more Filipinos in Saga than in Sasebo IME.

That’s a majority of military state side and overseas. A soldier/sailor/airman will get stationed some where cool and never do shit outside a 20 mile radius. I always assumed it was because everyone I knew was terrible with their money, but maybe everyone just sucks.

This happens in Japan too though, lots of izakayas and small restaurants that deny foreigners. They just typically are less upfront about it and instead just claim they are full etc

>>

Nah
Even japs that speak zero english in the most remote places will still try their best to communicate
>>
>>2468577
So this>>2468552 happens only in big cities?
>>
>>2468580
It‘s more that it happens mostly in super small establishments with mostly regular patrons
At that point any new person is basically intruding upon a friend group and they‘ll be politely told to fuck off gaijin or no
>>
>>2468583
That makes sense so you just need a bit of common sense
>>
>>2468462
Personally I can understand it. I was here through most of COVID and both Japan themselves and the military went absolutely dumb as hell over it. I was practically confined to base for my whole first year, and as soon as the restrictions all ended my ship got incredibly busy.

I haven't done as much as I would've liked, but I've enjoyed my time here nonetheless. But what's worse than that are the people who hate it here but never left Sasebo. Like the people who didn't even go to Saga or Nagasaki.
>>2468552
Japanese people are, for the most part (this is the rule, and there are exceptions), super non-confrontational. But if they deny you, it's just easier to accept that and go somewhere else. I've never really felt slighted about being denied service due to somewhere being Japanese only.

The trick to get into those places is to find Japanese friends or get a Japanese girlfriend and go there with them. Usually these people deny foreigners because they don't speak English and they don't want to deal with the language barrier.

In my experience, the rural Japanese areas are far more "welcoming" to foreigners in the sense that foreigners haven't been there to build up a bad reputation, so it's a bit of a local curiosity if you show up to a place like that and get lunch. They're super accommodating if they can be.
What >>2468583 said is true. There's a lot of places like this, that basically only serve a regular set of patrons and are basically private clubs in all but name. The locals know this and don't go to those places, but foreigners don't know this. Like I said here also >>2468600 in my experience a lot of places that refuse service to foreigners simply don't speak English and don't want to deal with the language barrier.
>>
>>2468552
yep, been flat out denied on my dinner plans frequently for being a foreigner.
In Japan I've had small izakaya's usher me in the door just by slowing down while walking past the outside so it's not true for everything.

It's really only a few wards of Tokyo that are ruined. Expand your horizons and see more of Japan than just Tokyo and you avoid a lot of the stupid crackers/blackers yelling on the trains.

Omochabako in Kawasaki if you can speak Japanese. Not the best but fairly easy to access. I prefer a particular blowjob bar in Osaka. If you're adventurous and down for dangerous action, there are now young Japanese streetwalkers in Kabukicho (立ちんぼ, legit and not fake ones from SEA), and some of them will let you fuck them raw and creampie them too if you're willing to pay.
>>
>>2468737
I can't imagine this, seems like such an un-Japanese behaviour. They must cost many hundreds.
>>
>>2468742
You guys have really misguided and incorrectly idealistic beliefs about Japanese behavior. I've literally creampied one or two of the girls featured here: https://youtu.be/IjW9zodVKkA

Going price is 20,000 yen base for the prettier and younger girls and 10,000 extra if they are willing to go raw and do creampies.

Do you bring them back to your place or do they have their own place.

You go to the cheap love hotels that are around the area. Some assholes record the girls and their customers walking together to the love hotels, so you have to make sure you don't get trailed if possible. They basically get pumped and dumped by guys that pick them up and head back to standing for the next customer, then literally rinse and repeat with the next. I have the contact info for some of of the goods ones I liked and message them to meet on occasion.

Just like any place, if you have a bit of spine in you, you will be fine.

Not really I don't care about Japan. I'm only speaking in my experience, and they, men and women see to be very proper and square. Trashy behaviour would seem out if the ordinary for me.

I'm sure there are whores like there are everywhere but I imagined only hugh class establishments not literal crack head street prostitution.

I'll watch your video and see what the hype is about.

>Pretend to have a le epic cool life full of adventure!!!!
When they aren't working the other 45 weeks of their boring lives. In any case, you just have to leave Tokyo and Kyoto. I hardly saw any white people in Osaka. I had a hotel in Umeda and just never saw tourists. I also went in the HUB Pub daily at never saw white people. The Japanese used to come up me and my friend (we're British) and go crazy asking if the pubs back home were the same as the HUB Pub.

The worst place was Kyoto. That place was overloaded with Chinese and white tourists. Never going there again for sure.
>>
>>2470081
Instagram is part of it sure, as is TikTok since every user is a massive weeb - but why? Why is ever sub-30yr old normie on TikTok making Japan content? Because of shitty anime and Crunchyroll.
>>
>>2470098
>making Japan content?
It brings in money probably compared to other places. It was locked down hardcore during Covid so no one went and everyone was fantasising about going. I will be eternally jealous of the white people who were in Japan during Covid. Imagine not a single fucking tourist?

The Wall is particularly brutal in Japanese society. Women over 30 are practically fucking invisible in an already isolated society. Imagine the crushing loneliness an average white dude in the US feels and multiply that by 10x because there is literally nothing the woman can do about it, no gymaxxing, no jestermaxxing, no looksmaxxing, no moneymaxxing, nothing. Do not pass go, do not collect bf.

Yeah… what the fuck is causing normies to get everywhere? They are unironically becoming an infestation. Is it the instagram whroes and their orbiters? Is it digital nomads and techbros? Is it simply wealthy immigrants fleeing the rapidly third-worldifying USA? I mean why the fuck are there all these americans (and lets be real, its all fucking americans or anglos that we have the issue with) travelling and moving everywhere? What caused this?

In 2007 I started doing trips to various countries for work (I work in shipping). People were always different everywhere, no english speakers everywhere. no phone zombies. politeness was everywhere. Whoredom was way less. Last year I was in spain and saw a gigachad with a visibly massive dong in his shorts walking with 6 highschool girls all giggling and smiling and JUMPING (I shit you not, jumping like rabbits) walking beside him. Everyone else was a single male walking around or a small group of women by themselves. Then I saw a couple chads with about 5 women hanging out at the mcdonalds.

Notice how the tranime watcher is instantly triggered when someone with a personality comes in?
I see these losers all the time on Twitch; that place is essentially the breeding ground for these faggots now.
Vtubers, anime profile pictures, anime emotes, anime video games (made in China btw)
I often look at their Twitch profiles because of how fascinating this shit is
and they're all so similar, it's eery. If you line up their profiles you realize how little personality these creatures have. They are fucking empty.

I find solace in the fact that these vile creatures will never survive in the real world, let alone in Japan.
They'll always be miserable and a good amount will kill themselves once the Vtuber charm dies down and they're confronted with their sad future.
>>
>>2472540
It's social media, I can assure you. People aren't ignorant to stuff anymore (15 years ago any East Asian was seen as Chinese), they know about different cultures and obscure places. Holiday photos aren't just for showing family anymore, it's for the world to see. Everyone is connected and in competition to be the more adventurous, to again show online.

With the WORLD.

Japanese seemed to have respect (or at least get more friendly) when I told them I was there to study Soto Zen. One time a family invited me to an Onsen near Moriyoka, they opened a bottle of petrus pomeral (5,000$ wine) that we drank.

Side story: so at the onsen they brought traditionally food, and one dish looked like layered multi-colored pudding, I took a scoop and its was some fish flavored goop, I could have puked.
>>
Most overrated country ever. Food is shitty most of the time, girls are not pretty and they do not have ass or boobs. They still wear masks and probably not because COVID but they like hiding their face. Thailand is a shithole but at least i can get massages for 8 dollars. Japan offers nothing if you are not a weebo or something. Why did i even come here?
>>

What country is this *not* the case? Any true friendship requires growing up together or a shared experience like working or going to school or having the same hobby for a long period of time. No shit most nips don't care deeply about you on an intense emotial level, and it would be weird if you felt that way about someone you only hang out with on occasion or just met at an event.
>>
>>2475414
