I'm heading to Japan in mid-June for 3 weeks. I'm starting to regret the booking with all the overtourism news. I hate waiting in lines, and the idea of waiting 30 minutes to get a coffee or a sushi lunch doesn't sound very appealing.
I'm going to do Disney Tokyo for the kids and will just keep my angry thoughts to myself when waiting 2 hours for a 4 minute ride.

Edit: I didn't mean to be a Negative Nancy. The general gist of this post is that Japan is great, but so are other countries. If I had known ahead of time about the over tourism, I would have gone to South Korea this year and saved Japan for another year. Hopefully, there are others who see this post ahead of time and decide to go somewhere else.
