Which city / country did you dislike the most and why? For me it was Osaka. Super dirty for a Japanese city, terrible public transport or terrible to find your way around, not much to do, the most homeless and dirt I have ever seen in all of Japan. Super disappointing. That a lot of signs are all in Japanese (also for transport shit) does not help especially when there is an Expo going on for many international tourists.
>>2829142You can go to cities in fucking China and find signs in English. It's the language of the world and not having basic signage in English in an international city is either a deliberate attempt to gatekeep Japan or just retarded. Either is annoying.

>>2829137They are the rednecks of Japan. What did you expect?
>>2829137>That a lot of signs are all in Japanese (also for transport shit) does not helpHey buddy, you could have just told us you were American.
>>2829137Have you ever heard the expression "only boring people get bored"? I feel like that's relevant here...
inb4 NOT ANOTHER JAPAN THREAD WAH WAH
>>2829152lmao
>>2829152I thought wearing socks and sandals was a german thing
>>2829137>World Expo>not much to dopick 1
I have never had a good time in Amsterdam
>>2829164Anon, this is a staged thread
>>2829137Anon you should read this. It's full of interesting tips that may help you enjoy your future travels.
>>2829167Hmm, could be. They whipped out all those images real fast, and on a slow board too.
>>2829173It's turdie bots shitting up this board just like they do everywhere else. brownoids are seething atm, price of rice, beans, cow dung, etc probably went up a cent or two
>>2829177It's just bored /int/fags looking to stir shit up. This happens pretty regularly on here.
>>2829148>>2829151>>2829153>>2829167Here’s the thing, and I know most of you can’t wrap your heads around it: not everyone loves Japan. And you don’t have to be some dumb, fat American to say Japan sucks. Maybe you’re all just Americans who like trash-talking other Americans or whatever. But just because I know good subculture and “normal” culture doesn’t mean I have to worship Japan.Honestly, I thought Japan was a shitty country. I’ve been to plenty of countries around the world, but yeah – the food sucked, the people sucked. I even took the time to learn the language, enough to get by, and it worked. But that doesn’t change the fact that I thought the place was crap. I always had the feeling they just tolerate you being there, but secretly want you to piss off again.Everywhere else people come up to you, ask where you’re from, what you’re doing, how you like it – some basic curiosity. In Japan? Nobody gives a damn. Osaka was filthy, navigation was awful, and honestly there wasn’t anything worth seeing. Then you get to that so-called Osaka Castle – wow, a castle on the outside, but inside just some boring museum nobody cares about. Osaka was absolute crap.But of course, on this board everyone has to act like Japan is the most amazing place ever. Anything less than that just isn’t allowed.>>2829150I actually didn't know they are the rednecks of Japan. Tell me more. Also I liked Kyoto and Nara. Nice places. Osaka was the worst ever and Tokyo can fuck off too but at least there is shit to do in Tokyo. Also why did so many posts in this thread get deleted? I didn't see any of those so I'm actually wondering what happened in here?
>>2829251Please consider using a website based in your own country.
>>2829137Yeah, but what's actually bad about Osaka? All of the shit you mentioned is shit that is commonplace in almost every large city on Earth, if you stray into the slummy parts.>no Romanized signageI can live without being able to say anything or being able to read anything. Can you?
>>2829265The fact that there is not much to do. Tokyo is a busy city with many options.Kyoto is wonderful and has a lot of shrines and is just really nice.Osaka is dirty as fuck and has a lot of homeless sleeping on the streets. Public transport is actually a pain in the ass unlike the other Japanese cities.You have Osaka Castle which looks nice from the outside but is dull from the inside and besides Osaka castle there is nothing to do.You can go to that place from Yakuza and take a board trip that takes 20 minutes. After that you have literally done everything there is to do in this city. It is crazy and yes it is dirty.
Boston, Massivetwoshitssoulless shithole
>>2829489You're not interested in the Osaka City Sewerage Science Museum?
>>2829229I was about to reconsider visiting Osaka but after seeing this assblasted wall of text I think I will just continue with my visit.
>>2829489Have you actually ever been to Osaka? It has tons of things to do. It's a very lively city, unlike sleepy Kyoto.
>>2829137>one pile of trash>cordoned and signed offbig deal. you could find that in any city in america except it would just be strewn everywehre
>>2829670>KyotoarashiyamakinkakujiGionImperial palace Inari taishaKiyomizuRyoanjiKifuneliterally every temple>OsakaNamba area (Dotonbori-Sennichimae)Shinsekai-tsutenkakuTobita shinchiOsaka castle Sumiyoshi taisha Expo 70 parkAnd thats it.The nintoku tombs or kofun are in Sakai and the 25 expo is over. if by lively you mean normalfag central then sure, people who are into that are usually the ones who sleep on real japanese culture and prefer Osaka.
>>2829137I love Osaka. People were really nice to me there especially in America Village.For me, I just generally hate traveling to middle of the equator countries since I just hate the heat. I make sure to go north or very south
>>2829785Tobita shinchi and Namba are the main reasons why people travel to Osaka in that order. Basically to be a degenerate.Sure its fun for a weekend of drinking but so is Tokyo and Kyoto.
>>2830324I really don't know where this impression of people being friendly and open came from ngl.I found way easier starting up a convo with Japanese people in Tokyo than in Osaka.
>>2830339Yeah, but also because Osaka is the heart of Kansai and when you see everything there is to see there you can just take an 1hr train to Nara, Kyoto, Kobe and/or Wakayama and feel like you enjoyed your vacations even if you couldnt get laid.
>>2830324The lack of greenery always makes Japanese cities look so bleak.
>>2830344I'd honestly say to anyone who's travelling to Japan for the first time, they can give Osaka a skip and not miss anything. Unless you're a sex pest then I'll admit Tobita shinchi is quite unique . The down side, its starting to be filled up with Indians and other South Asian men.
>>2830349>noooo not the saarsgive it a break, they are more tame than joggers
>>2830385You're one of them aren't you? Geez, quit infesting the board, brown menace.The one anon was right, this is a thirdie thread. God help us.
Go home
>>2830408>faggotspacingwelp, says it all
>>2830385They are brown and they smell like shit
>>2829229No problem man just stay in America next time, everyone will thank you and you'll get to see the amazing sights of LA, Portland, and maybe even Sisterfuck, AL
>>2829229I'm with you against the weebs OP, but I went to Japan in late 2022 when they still had full blown outside mask autism. I just don't find their culture very charming like most people here.>>2830349>its starting to be filled up with Indians and other South Asian menAre the girls actually taking them as customers though?
>Public transport is actually a pain in the ass unlike the other Japanese cities.>you have to leave wherever you are around ~11 or use GoTaxi/Uber>implying you can get on every train in tokyo when everyone is packed like sardinesThe same can't be said for Osaka trains
>>2831074Some yes. But the ones that do give fuck off prices in comparison to other tourists.
