I think Japan is hard for foreigners to live in.
Japan will become more fashionable.
The languages around me won't be Japanese anymore.

So you don't miss any future videos from Japan.
And let's go and Ask Japanese.
So 2020 are the Olympics.
And you will get a lot more foreigners in Japan.
How does that make you feel?
We already have a lot of tourists here, so I don't think it will be that much more.
I think Japan is hard for foreigners to live in.
There is no free wifi for them and such.
There isn't? I didn't know. - There barely is any, right?
No wifi is really impractical.
Things like that need to get bettered in Japan.
We should adopt some ideas from abroad.
I am looking forward to having people from other countries visit Japan.
On a international scale, it is a great chance for us.
It's a chance. - YEs.
Cultures and traditions of Japan? Such as?
I want them to try on Kimonos and such.
I would be happy if we got more tourists. - What would make you so happy?
We would be a lot more fashionable.
More stylish people all around? - Yes.
I will be able to see many different types of people.
And that will leave an impression on me. - Different styles and such?
Yes.
2020 what's happening? - The Tokyo Olympics!
Bingo!
When it's the Tokyo Olympics, what will increase?
People!
But not just Japanese but also...
Foreigners. - Bingo.
What do you think about that?
Japan will become famous.
The languages all around me, will not be Japanese.
That's a fair point.
You will be wondering what they are saying.
There will be less Japanese.
Yeah the population density of Japanese will decrease.
Problems with that? I don't want them to ask me for the way.
I can't speak English. - Please don't ask meeeee
Yes like that.
But I hope they can come to Japan and have a good time.
Japanese don't really speak much English.
That's why... they need to learn Japanese.
Let's study more guys!
What problems do you see for foreigners?
I think the language barrier.
There will be many people who come for the sports, not for our language.
And they will stay in places and such...
And then conversation between them and the staff will be quite difficult.
We need to be able in Japan to deal with that.
We need to learn foreign languages.
I think this has changed in recent years, but signs and such are hard to understand.
We need to change that.
So Japanese sign posts will have to change? - Yes.
Our rules and theirs are too different. Foreigners might not understand.
Abroad often you can't walk around with alcohol in your hands.
But here its okay to do that.
We might be easy on some things, and they strict on others and vice versa.
Things like that will be a problem.
What problems do you see with foreigners coming to Japan?
When we stand in line, some people cut in line. I want them to respect our manners.
Yeah guys, let's respect Japan's manners.
Have you seen something like that? - Someone cut in line in front of me.
Everyone stood in line, and the foreigners just cut in line? - Yeah.
That sucks a lot.
Also, don't steal.
I have seen a foreigner in a super market, putting small sweets into their pockets.
Please know that is not ok before you come to Japan.
Some people can't speak Japanese, and might think that is ok.
I want people to know our culture, and pay the money properly.
Don't steal stuff. That's definitely a NO.
It's not cool when foreigners are noisy and obnoxious in quiet places.
I have seen two foreigners fighting with each other.
That was really scary. I wish they didn't do that here.
It was in Tokyo. I was walking and saw them fight. It was scary.
Did they punch each other? - They were arguing.
I didn't understand what their fight was about, but seeing that on the streets is scary.
There are so many unspoken rules in Japan, it's a real pain.
If you worry about that, you can't enjoy our culture.
Things that are common knowledge in Japan...
I think it's wrong to push our culture on other people./
If we go abroad, we become foreigners too.
And they will have some manners they will want us to abide to.
We have differences in our cultures. We should not worry about that too much.
Foreigners will have lived a different life before coming.
They should just come the way they are, and not worry too much.
What do you want Foreigners in Japan to enjoy?
Our food is very good, so I want them to enjoy our food.
What tasty food can you recommend?
Which one? If I said Sushi, that is too general...
Tonkatsu is tasty. - Sushi and Tonkatsu.
Foreigners love taking pictures on the Shibuya scramble crossing.
Foreigners should enjoy the views and sights that you can only find here.
We also have all four seasons here.
So there are some views you can only see here.
I think that's something foreigners can really enjoy here.
I think foreigners have more things in their country that are great to enjoy.
I actually wonder what they want to see in our country.
We only have hot springs.
Foreigners like Japanese food a lot right?
I think our food is pretty amazing.
You want them to eat Japanese food?
What is your recommendation?
Can it be outside of Tokyo?
I want them to come to Yamagata prefecture.
What shall they enjoy?
Cherries. Can foreigners eat Natto (fermented beans).
Some can.
There is a dish called Hippari Udon. It contains Natto, stuff and eggs.
You mix it all up. I want foreigners to try it.
I think that's a food that some will have to level up for...
- That's not for everyone. - Sure isn't.
What type of tourists do you see the most these days?
In Harajuku I see a lot of tourists with colorful dyed hair.
Are there more foreign tourists these days?
I think I am seeing more these days.
When going to Disney, recently you can see large Chinese or something groups there.
I am under the impression that recently asian tourists are the majority.
Sometimes I think they are from here, but the words they speak are not Japanese.
Recently you see a lot of Russians too.
Thank you so much.
So what do we learn from this? We learn that Japanese people
they are generally very happy and are looking forward to the foreigners
coming over for the olympics...
But there are a couple of things, they are worried about.
That's the cultural difference, while some people, understand that there are cultural differences
and that foreigners might get it wrong, other people say they are a couple you should get
If foreigners come to Japan the big rule is generally mind your manners and
and read up a little bit about Japanese etiquette and some things that are not
quite cool in your country are REALLY not cool here...
Example, seen a guy totally wasted on the train... spewing... that kind of stuff.
That is really not on. That does not happen, you should not do that.
Even...
Some people might be coming to party to have a good time during the Olympics...
please mind your manners because you're ruining it for everyone else...
It's great that Japanese people are very tolerant and won't say something...
But in that case it's wrong to abuse it by doing something you shouldn't be doing anyways...
Which is called here "Gaijin Smash"...
Sometimes Gaijins go like "I will be forgiven to do that!"
and they do it. That's kind of not on.
Look up a couple of things. It's very simple.
Like taking off your shoes or how to take a bath in the Onsen (hot springs).
Also, a little thing that many people don't know...
Generally in Ramen restaurants, if they are VERY busy you don't hang about too much
You eat your ramen but then pack up if you see there is a line behind you
Just out of courtesy for the other people that are waiting
and it helps the business flourishing if the customers have a quick pace and change rate
Just one of those little things that you might want to look up before you come to Japan.
