https://youtu.be/BhBcICoRY6Q>inb4 it’s always been like that since after WWIIBut, way way more than I ever expected What do anons who have lived there or currently live in Japan think of that city?
>tfw Drake still hasn’t responded
>they don’t protest US presence anymore, rather they civilly dispute the building of mosques
>>524534949Why would there ever even be a mosque in Japan?
>>524535123Turkish and Saudi orgs pay lots of money for that to happen usually
>>524534682Near the famous Shibuya Crossing I remember near a transport hub there were an absolute fuck ton of bicycles there. ZERO of them chained/locked up. We're not just talking about some small Japanese town, but perhaps the busiest place in all of Japan. There's also stores where you go in, pick up ready made meals, then just leave the money without seeing a cashier.That's what a high-trust society looks like. Try seeing the same in some big American city.
>>524535516How long ago was this?
>>524534682tokio is lost, full of niggers and even more jeets ,also it is dirty there and it smells bad. would not recommend you go there. visit kobe-kyoto-osaka-nara rute. 10x better, 10xmore fun, 10x more culture and better food 10x less jeets and niggers even tho there are some in osaka tourist places but very low .
>>524535585Literally this year.
Meh. Akihabara is so damn underrated. Just gatcha stores
>>524535885InterestingI keep hearing polar opposite opinions on that cityIt’s either “it’s JUSTed and FUBAR” or “it’s utopia on earth and everyone is in harmony”
>>524534682There are parts of Tokyo that feel a bit international forsure, I wouldn't say Americanised as it's still way nicer. Most major neighborhoods are very Japanese, dense buildings, transit everywhere, clean and quiet and peaceful, nothing like New York or Chicago.
>>524535957I offer you a milquetoast opinion: Its a regular and mundane megacity
>>524535957I know what you mean and I think it's a combination of demoralization shills and actual anons feeling extra defensive at the slightest indication of mass migration to Japan to get it as JUSTed as the West (which yeah, they have a point to assume and defend against the worse of the kikes BEFORE it gets jeet and niggerfied).Another thing about Japan is that there's generally a culture of quality service. Even if you get the goyest of goyslop like McDonald's it'll probably taste better than if it was prepared by some inner city niggers who don't give a flying fuck about your order.
>>524535885this will change with the jeet importation
>>524539437In two more weeks, you demoralization shills have been talking about muh jeet boogeyman for 3 years now.Like this guy said>>524538091
>>524536006>dense buildings, transit everywhereSo a communist hell hole.
kys jeet
American you say?
>>524534682I stopped at the raper. Holy cringe US cultural influence was a cancer on the world
you notice you're in Tokyo because there's English everywheret. gaijin
>>524534682I’ve been Tokyo. Felt absolutely nothing like America.For one the streets were extremely clean, like you could walk around without shoes clean. Everything was significantly smaller and more jam packed. There’s no garbage cans anywhere, everyone carries their trash. It’s extremely quiet, people generally don’t talk to one another and keep noise to a minimum. The food is fresh, and also doesn’t have much seasoning (kinda bland to be honest). Everyone road around on bicycles. There were a lot more lights for traffic lights indicating how long to wait. As a white man, in general I got the feeling that I wasn’t fully welcomed, my presence was merely an tolerated (compared to somewhere like Thailand)Let me guess OP, you went to Shibuya and assumed the whole place was like that. There are certain pockets of tourism in Tokyo where it’s mostly foreigners but if you go outside of that you’ll quickly see it’s just Japanese people. Like where I stayed, almost no one spoke English at all, which made it kinda difficult to be honest.
>>524534682tokyo felt different when I was first there in the 80s. feels just like any other city now, desu. chinese cities feel far more furutistic. russian cities have far more culture.
>>524539671It is very centrally planned but it is not communist, it is consumerist, commercialist.
>>524538091Service industry is like that all over Asia. KFC in Thailand tastes about a million times better in the US and they actually serve it to you in a timely manner.In the US you wait 30 minutes for a cold bucket of chicken. The best fast food I eat is consistently in Asia.
>>524534682there is too many nuisance gaijin who act like animal like this
>>524539671Kek Have you ever even left your county, you absolute fucking neckbeard? Why are Americans so unworldly, they're worse than chinks ffs
>>524535123Malaysians who are, with Flips and Indonesians, the Mexicans of Asia.But lots of Pakis in Japan.Japan is high of the fumes of its erstwhile glory and pretends it's shoulder to shoulder with the big boys of geopolitics so when globohomo says, "Pakis are great"Japan is like "Us too, look, we do it too daddy."
>>524535816North of Japan is best but I won't give any specifics. Tokyo is good if you just desperately want to grind for your permanent residency. People in Kansai and elsewhere can get FUCKED with no visa renewal or dead end jobs.
>>524541891Some of us travel. There’s a very big portion of the US that absolutely does nothing with their lives other than consume garbage and complain about brown people. That’s mostly who posts on this website.
>>524535957The FUBAR is just "compared to 10 years ago" when it was more of a utopia.There was a time when it was Roppongi where dirty foreigners would go to party and get scammed by Nigerians. Shibuya was actually fashionable because kawaii kyaru-kyaru harajuku shit wasn't even cool with high school girls.But fashionable cafe Shibuya always sucked and was always bullshit for vain, self-important, ordinary, actually very boring J-girls.People say Ginza is the high class district of Japan but that is like 1970s hostess bars and Chanel, Tiffany stores.Omotesando is the true fashion district for actual Japanese people, and Minato-ku is the actual high class neighborhood but it's kind of like invite-only shit over there.Ikebukuro remains the underrated urban center, even though it's the farthest thing from a hidden gem. It's just, I don't see any reason to go to Shibuya instead of just eating out at Ikebukuro.No real center but a ton of good stuff scattered between Okachimachi and Nihombashi.
>>524541575There's just no way to properly describe how fucking cheap and penny pinching American companies are, and of course American labor is garbage (but we also have vastly overpriced healthcare and housing).
>>524542338Nah people just give a shit about their job here. It’s a different mindset completely. They get paid shit wages here too. I paid a guy $2 to deliver a package to me in Bangkok and it took him over 30 minutes and I tried to tip him and he refused.
>>524541655The seat reclining issue is one of Japan's "this is why we can't have nice things" lessons for the world. The full recline length isn't meant to be used. It's more there for like >What if the train is really empty and I'm tired, wouldn't it be nice in that situation to use the empty space behind me and deeply recline?It's one of those "nice things" you can't have when people are completely inconsiderate.But, one reason Europeans don't recognize the impoliteness is design language. Whites design things from an ego-centered viewpoint. So, if a person is given a feature, it is meant for them to fully use, while the designer considers the social ramifications and regulates them through design.In Japan, the individual is expected to be aware of others, and so designers don't cockblock your options by babysitting your consideration for others.
>>524534682>guys its nothing like my anime its too americanizedFuck off weeb
>>524542452Sounds like a country full of people who can afford their housing, have girlfriends, and if they fuck up a local nobleperson will cut their head off with a sword on the street.
>>524542508You’re saying Frieren isn’t real??My day is ruined
>>524534682I heard Tokyo is one of the most racist places in Japan. I’ve never been but it’s hard to imagine there are a lot of foreigners outside the few districts. Tokyo is a huge city and the outskirts probably get no foreigners or tourists except run of the mill brown subhumans.
>>524534682cities are all pozzed globally
>>524542518It’s a continent full of people that take pride in what they do rather than bitch and complain and expect everything to be handed to them. There’s an actual sense of community, not individual entitlement. People do things that benefit society as whole rather than “if I do x I deserve a six figure salary and a wife”.There’s a culture of shame, one that is non existent in the west and why the west is in such an embarrassing state.
>>524534682I can't get a date
Tokyo is a great place, I go every year. Great food, very friendly people, I would say the only downside is that it's a very hard city to take risk in which has caused a sense of disillusionment for younger Japanese people. Japan as a whole is that way outside of Fukuouka and Osaka. Incredibly safe though, even in the seedier areas like Kabukicho and Dougenzaka.
>>524542452>I tried to tip himStop tipping in foreign countries you fag
>>524542686You also ignore problems that are inconvenient and let people disappear or fall under the bus if helping them means causing a disruption.
>>524542930The purpose of tipping in Europe is to pay directly for more attention, faster service. It's like buying green pass car ticket for JR, but if you're just at a restaurant.In America who knows how tipping culture started but it's just a way for companies to pay workers less.
>>524542305The real fashion has moved West to Hachioji, some of it is still around Aoyama though. Omotesando is very corporatized thanks to Harajuku being right next to it.>>524535516They don't steal bikes, but they took take umbrellas. I'll never forgive them for that. Outside of that though, I've never seen or heard of theft, period. I've left Macs and 2,000 Sennheisers at Cafes for multiple hours with absolutely no issues.
>>52454277110 years ago I could only get dates with women in their 40s who threw sex at me but wanted to be immediately engaged right after.I think you have to be in the social circle or be over 6'2'' and use Tinder.Tokyo itself is notoriously bad for dating.
>>524543070Interesting. I love Tama/Takao the whole thing. But if you have a car.
>>524542583you white is most racist idiot
>>524541655sort of funny I'd do that there to bug you.
>>524543256Japanese aren't exactly racist because they'll treat the nigger from down (a soto Japanese that is) the road like a filthy outsider 1000 times for every one time they do or say something bad about a foreigner.
>>524541971nah the filps hate those shit too after what they did to the southern part of their country
>>524543805LolThe Bataan Death March is pure US propaganda contrived from one whiny asshole's tale in 1944 as support for the war waned especially after Germany's defeat.
>>524534682It looks like a theme park. Japan is still so nice and safe because it's basically an ethno-state. US/CA, EU, AU/NZ also used to be like that.
>>524542305There is a decent amount of good fashion in Yurakucho.
>>524542776>the only downside is that it's a very hard city to take risk ini don't understand, what does this mean?
>>524543865You're island Chinese.
In Tokyo are a big colony of Peruroaches, anything is possible here
>>524535123Because Japan's zoggified government is also busy importing various flavor of shitskins into nippon.
I want to go back to Japan so badly but I expect to get abducted by my handlers at some point, or just straight up Epstein'd. Ah well. It was a good run. I had fun. Just make it quick for me?
>>524543326This. Nips are only racist towards the people their society allows them to be racist to.So that basically means Koreans and other Nips.Niggers? No.Chinks? Also no. Chinks have fuckloads of cash.>>524543256Yeah, I don't get this one. Fingolian niggers being racist against Asians was nt on my 2025 bingo card, desuI hear it's their racism against their local slant-eye niggers (Suomi?) and not ALL asians, but it's pretty cringe/funny to be doing the "slant eye face" in current year like some fucking dumb boomer.
>>524545260So the good guys?>>524543865Based. I gotta read more of the truth about Japan's """war crimes""". I bet they are as real as the Holocaust.
>>524535516>>524535885are you sure they weren't locked into those parking spots that hold the bottom of the wheels? bicycle theft is rampant in japan and has been for a long time. Also, most bikes have an integrated locking cylinder here that looks different than the chains you may be more familiar with. >>524535957>>524542305>The FUBAR is just "compared to 10 years ago" when it was more of a utopia.this is correct. Now it's more similar to a how 1990s America was functional instead of the perfect 1950s America it used to be.
>>524535816I live in Kansai and see lots of jeets & shit every time I visit Osaka. It's awful now. They're in the hotels, the convenience stores, and probably the food packing factories (if you walk by senmon-gakkou for food prep workers, the schools are basically purely foreigners at this point). Osaka was always the dirtiest Japanese city, but not it's worse. Fuck, I stopped by a Lawson convenience store in literally the middle of nowhere the other day and a Chink was working the cash register (small town of maybe 10,000 people).
>>524546003Korean girls are real. It wasn't like a policy, but it was Japanese culture looking the other way because embedded in Japanese culture is "slaves and insect must never complain" but very ironically middle class Japanese are forced into this mindset where they're not supposed to notice that rule even though they obey it.There are Japanese after WWII who heard of Koreans protesting them and they were literally like, "Wait what did we ever do to them".Nanjing Massacre is a lie, but Japanese generals invaded the mainland for no reason and against the orders of Tokyo and this necessarily led to many deaths. Japan also was happy to carpet bomb population centers and I'm certain that if they had had the Bomb they would have used it if it would have won the war for them.Unit 351 is half and half. They did bad shit but the context was they did a lot of fucking good research there too. Remember the Diamond Princess during COVID? A human experiment. Japanese internal history knows that millions of them survived plagues through knowledge that came from human experimentation and fuck it the lives of millions of many justify the death of the dozens of few. Any good Japanese confronted with the choice to die for the many would take that choice.Bataan was fake.MacArthur fought past the point of necessity and wore out the food supplies of both sides. The "Death March" was literally getting the soldiers to a train depot from which they could be shipped somewhere that had food, while preventing them from rebelling and running away.Some soldiers actually fucked around and found out trying to escape. Others were starving but literally there was nothing to do about it.One guy escaped and made it back and the war in Europe was over and the public was done with the war and didn't care about Japan so they pumped up this "Death March" story to make people mad at Japan.Japan didn't surrender due to the bomb. They surrendered to avoid 500k+ deaths in a Kyushu invasion
>>524534682Tokyo should be open. But those who have capital and money to live there go there and live there. The rest of Japan will flourish because of the money. Japan is the future I'm not sure everybody gets that but watch their currency.
>>524546248There weren't in any designated parking spots. Not locked up to anything. And actually when I went there I met with this company to look at different apartment units. He had me borrow one of their company bikes and we rode around to different locations. Never worried about locking them up.That's another thing. I hadn't ridden a bike in years. The guy was weaving between pedestrians and I felt like I was going to crash into someone trying to keep up since it had been so long since last I was on a bike. I didn't mind much, but a US company would almost certainly never do such a thing for fear of getting the shit sued out of them.
>>524546576The arc is Japan gets poor. Now their labor is valuable. People do well and have kids. At some point, the Yen starts looking very fucking stable relatively. Then, Japan gets rich again.
>>524546576>But those who have capital and money to live there go there and live there.Even if you're rich a foreigner needs to justify why they should be in Japan in order to get a long-term visa. It can't just be "because I want to, look I have money". This means something like being a student, worker, or having a Japanese spouse.If someone like Elon Musk wanted to retire and spend the rest of his life in Japan I'm sure he could do it, but he'd probably do something like set up some bullshit small business somewhere to justify his visa.
>>524547000Japan should take on 5 million Americans but they can't do it until the UN/woke thing has died completely so they can hardcore discriminate.Literally tests if you've done drugs ever, like AI analysis of gait to grant you a "weed use score". Tattoo exclusions. All of that. Race obviously.
>>524534682Owari da
>>524534682i dont get fascination with Tokyo outside of weaboo anime delusions. Its dirty, its badly organized, infrastructure is shit, architecture is absolute shit. It looks like city from the 90ths at most.
the problem with Tokyo is that it's overcrowded. the days where every ward could develop their own sub-culture is pretty much over. most of the public festivals have developed into a crowd stampede and some have completely been banned. I don't feel like it's "americanized" at all though.
>>524540624>For one the streets were extremely clean, like you could walk around without shoes cleanyou werent in Tokyo then
The Cool Japan campaign starting in the 90s started the process where nerdy stuff was steadily pushed out to make way for stuff that's appealing to a more mainstream international audience. That these videos are made and receiving millions of views is proof that the campaign worked, but it lost its soul in the process.99.9999% of people in the world won't care about this, though, it's just how it goes.
>>524548291No.Everyone praises Akira.Modern Anigay is nothing like the shit that barely broke through in the late 90s.Japan is known for being quiet, but I've heard from old expats that in the early 80s Tokyo was one of the loudest fucking cities on Earth (due to paper thin walls and close proximity).Babies were crying everywhere, people argued loudly, TVs were on and loud, and in the background there were motorcycles buzzing everywhere.Japan is a rowdy, rough, energetic culture and while it's "quiet" it's also very loud.The fact that Japan is not loud is purely a factor of its demographic crisis. It's just that everyone is fucking OLD.
>>524542478That a fag lmao.
>>524545085It's incredibly merit based and hard to get a start up off the ground. There isn't really a startup culture in Tokyo, it's either big conglomerate like Marubeni or Sumitomo decides to buy your company and move you to Tokyo, or you move to a startup friendly city that's more willing to take risk on ideas instead of singularly merit. It's also incredibly hard to move up in those companies and get skills to move up meaningfully.
>>524549495What sort of Jew-2025"internet"-zoomer bullshit is this?
>>524549702>get funded to make money>no other economy>but there's lots of money at stake>slightly less woke but zero independent voice and UN globohomo codedThere you are
>>524542973>Asian people are bug people Nah that’s just retarded shit you see on /pol/>But I saw videos on /gif/ so it’s trueExperience the world my dude. Stop living in a bubble.
>>524534682the whole west is americanized, japan includedthe process started with boomers, as american media started to flood western countries, and it sped up critically in the last few decades with the internetlate millennials and zoomers in western countries are pretty much all the same, think the same, say the same things(even with different languages) and their national culture is just a thin coat of paint
>>524534682
>>524546516Interesting post anon. Thank you.AFAIK the Japanese were also active in the race to develop a nuclear weapon in WWII and were certainly intending to use it (against the US.)I agree they didn't surrender due to the bomb. My belief is that they surrendered (unconditionally) immediately after Russia declared war on Japan (on the eve of the Nagasaki bombing.) They decided it would be the lesser of two evils to be occupied by the US rather then by Russia. The decision to surrender had nothing to do with the nuclear bombing.
