Japan is one of the oldest civilizations with an incredibly rich past. It also has stunning scenery, full of intricate temple gardens, bamboo groves, and, of course, mountains. Not to mention all the ramen, sushi, udon, yakiniku, okonomiyaki, takoyaki, and many more foods you can eat in between these places.
However, Japan is also one of those countries that need some serious money to be fully appreciated. It's a bucket list destination for many people from all over the world but still remains highly unexplored because of budget constraints. From transportation to lodging, everything is quite costly there.
Enter 'Japan Inside.' This online publisher calls itself the place to discover and see the beauty of the Land of the Rising Sun, and it's hard to argue with that claim when you see its social media feed.

The Japanese National Team Left Their Changing Room Spotless After Their Historic World Cup Win Against Germany
Ladies and Gentlemen 2 years ago
I wish europeans and south american hooligans who call them footballers can learn even 1% from it.
On October 11, Japan ended some of the world's strictest border controls, and Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is counting on tourism to recharge the economy — especially with the yen hovering near a 32-year low against the dollar. And it appears to be working.
The number of foreign visitors to Japan rose to nearly 500,000 in October, the first month it fully reopened to overseas visitors after more than two years of Covid restrictions, more than doubling the volume from September.

After Winning The Match, The Japanese Fans Started Cleaning The Stadium
The exact number of foreign visitors, for both tourism and business, rose to 498,600 last month, more than double September's 206,500 and surging a massive 2,155% from the year before, the Japan National Tourism Organization said, though it was still down 80% on 2019.
This year, 1.52 million foreign visitors have traveled to the country, a far cry from the record 31.8 million in 2019 and the government's 2020 goal — pegged to the Summer Olympics, which was ultimately postponed — of 40 million.

A Japan Fan At The World Cup
Kishida noted the government aims to attract 5 trillion yen ($35.8 billion) in annual tourist spending, but that may be a bridge too far for a sector that withered during the pandemic.
Hotel employment fell 22% between 2019 and 2021 and service workers who found other jobs may be hard to lure back.

Keeping The Same Price For 25 Years
Passerby 2 years ago
This year, the price of a famous puffed corn snack called Umaibo was raised by two yens, from 10 to 12 yens, for the first time in 42 years. The company made a solemn announcement and deeply apologized for raising the price. I personally admire their seriousness and sincerity. By the way, Gari Gari Kun made by the company in this post tastes absolutely amazing. I really like the Cola flavor.
Major gains will likely remain difficult until Chinese tourists return.
A record 9.5 million Chinese people came to Japan in 2019, which accounted for about a third of all visitors. However, with Covid spreading in China, its culture and tourism ministry said that cross-border group travel was still suspended.

Its a kind of berry which is like 80% water, super taste and texture. So yummy. And they are grown in India and Africa as well.
But other trends are more encouraging. Inbound searches for hotels on the online bookings site Agoda went up nearly 16-fold between January and October, mainly by customers in South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore, said Hiroto Ooka, the company's Japan-based head of North Asia.

Early 1900s “Real Hair Of A Geisha“ Before Styling
The longer the hair was considered better.
After WWII, geisha began to wear wigs (known as katsura) instead of styling their own hair a trend which continues to this day. Geisha generally wear shimada-style wigs known as geigi
TheElderNom 2 years ago
Based on memoirs of a geisha I understand why they switched to wigs. Styling the hair was painful and they had to sleep with special neck pillows that kept the hair from touching anything.
