I keep seeing posts about how Japanese people are hating on tourists and whatnot… Is it possible they are just… Stressed?
I mean, the yen is worth literally like 30% less than a few years ago. Everything is smaller or more expensive. And nobody in Japan is getting raises. It's super stress for Japanese families trying to sort out how they can buy homes, pay for juku/school, much less save anything for retirement…
Maybe it's… Not about you… Maybe people are just freaked out trying to figure out how to deal. And having a bunch of foreigners prance around all excited about how cheap stuff is isn't really helping…..
