Just saw a comment that they “love that Japanese call it Mr Fuji” and am non-ironically wondering how many foreigners think the san in Fuji-san is the honorific san and not just “Mt”. It never really occurred to me before

Millenials in the early 2010s: "boomers judge us unfairly and make fun of us for no reason! We'll never be like that to younger generations!" Millenials now whenever they see gen-z online:

Complaining about the platform you use and all that, but I am convinced that the "I don't like this ad" button does anything at all.

Hotel prices in Kyushu are up across the board despite not being a common tourism destination for a lot of people, and that's not for no reason.

Overtourism can be seen at its worst in those locations, but the biggest cause of it isn't pure numbers; it's scale in relation to the local economy. Plenty of more local places are also struggling even with comparatively low numbers because of lack of resources.
Emily@writerofscratch

The only reason Japan has an "overtourism" problem is because y'all keep going to the same four of five places in a country that has so much more to offer. Earlier this week I was at a beautiful lake with beautiful cherry blossoms. I saw only five tourists in my 3 hours there.

Unable to catch any of Velca's games this season, and they not only clinch a spot in the championship for the first time but they finish the season in #1 for the western division. I can only assume I was the curse.

Every year the pool of gaijin who know about Debito Arudo gets smaller and smaller but unironically Debito’s life story would make for an interesting movie if only as a cautionary tale of how to not flame out
CTC@CacheThatCheque

@shinobu_books Does Debito like anyone? Dude flamed out as a LARP gaijin activist, remarried a white chick after his divorce, and moved to Hawaii

When I was in college, the Everest of Japanese proficiency was being able to read the newspaper, but it obviously has to be something else now; any current Japanese learners know what the current high level goal is?
