Here are some general observations:
- Very mature economy and political system. You can feel the country has been industrialized for over 100 years. Very similar to Europe in terms of system and institutions.
- Strong consumerism culture, much more than anywhere in Europe except England.
- Highly advanced public transportation and infrastructure.
- High standards of living. People live well in general. They like to sit in cafés, drink juice and read books for hours. You can feel a very relaxed atmosphere outside the centers.
- High culture. People are classy and well behaved. They are always conscious of their behavior, and careful not to make others feel uncomfortable. In general, people like to mind their own business.
- Very aesthetically pleasant country. People put strong emphasis on aesthetics and norms. They like to follow established norms, be it a 2000 year old tradition, or a recently made up rule.
- People have strong regional identity. They feel closer and identify first with their region.
- Japanese people seem to be comprised of two main ethnic groups. The light-brown, reddish haired short people, and the pale faced, black haired more taller people.
- People are very encouraging of others. There's a culture of encouragement that's reflected in their marketing style. You see a lot of posters, ads and other marketing slogans that have a very motivational theme. In comparison, creative humor was the main theme behind marketing in England.
- There are a lot of elderly people still in the workforce, doing largely repetitive, obsolete jobs, like helping you board a bus, or cross the street.
- No trash bins anywhere!
- Highly urbanized country.
- Creeping diversity. A lot of foreign born staff, everywhere.
- There's no coffee culture in Japan. There are few int'l chains like Starbucks, but outside the central areas, it's difficult to find a coffee place. Also no espresso in local ones.
- Mega fast internet!
I just came back from Japan
Overall it's a great country, much better than Europe in many aspects, but I'm concerned about the growing diversity in major cities.
no you didn't. you copied and pasted a thread from a different board by an Austrian.
Very mature economy
Brother the Yen is fucked?
one difference.
the japanese, even dirt poor will still be classy and civilized.
poor westoid europeans will act like niggers
People have strong regional identity. They feel closer and identify first with their region.
A read a while ago about a plan to federalise Japan, do you think that could work or is it a looney idea?
they invited visajeets by the hundreds of thousands
it's over

fake and gay
Coffee culture is here and booming, but they don’t have early morning coffee culture. You can’t throw a fucking rock in Tokyo without hitting a craft roaster startup. For cafe culture, it’s one thing that Nagoya is famous for, although you can find amazing coffee cafes everywhere, even the middle of fuckall nowhere.
In fact your coffee culture comment is so hilariously erroneous I question whether you ever came here at all.
I was stationed in yokosuka for 5 years can confirm everything is true
there are two coffee places on blues street in yokosuka they also sell baked stuff I always liked to laugh at the Petit Weiner signs
That aesthetics fits them well. Even the office buildings in Japan are tasteful. American and European ones are soulless.
Disgusting racist Japanese store not allow Chinese customers.
We need to make this racist store famous on the internet, Anon Babble.
How do they tell the difference?
People are very encouraging of others. There's a culture of encouragement that's reflected in their marketing style. You see a lot of posters, ads and other marketing slogans that have a very motivational theme. In comparison, creative humor was the main theme behind marketing in England.
DO YOUR BEST
We to conquer the world women want our big thick virile penis that fuck your sister your mother your cousins
Chinks can’t speak Japanese? Also people can hear a chink speaking from 20m away
i wanted to visit in my 20s. japan still sounds like a paradise especially with the continuing yen devaluation
i've been to about 10 countries and lived long term in 4 (with non tourist visas).. it was my coomer brain that kept me out of japan but damn it sounds so idyllic
I'm concerned about the growing diversity in major cities.
Tell us about the BBCs. The sweet succulent juicy ones you saw :D
I just came back too, and here are all the negatives to balance out your one-sided thread:
the country is in the midst of overtourism and people are generally tired of foreigners
Japanese are obsessed with rules, including having rules for the sake of having rules
Japanese short-circuit if something unexpected or out of the ordinary happens (you can literally see them start panicking)
Japanese women would rather pamper and push a dog around in a pram than have a baby
The only Japanese men with girlfriends are the top 1% 6ft+ guys with girlish hair
Women in general are obsessed with effeminate looking men (the top host in Japan is literally a guy who looks like a ladyboy)
Sexual relations are highly transactional and 1% of all Japanese women have been involved in the sex industry
the toxic work culture makes people off themselves
despite ostensibly being technologically advanced, many working practices re decades behind the West
most places only accept cash so you have to carry huge wads of cash around everywhere
extremely strong taxi union which killed Uber in the country and even forced train companies to stop running trains after midnight
convenience stores, restaurants and hotels are full of Indian staff and even muzzrats, and it's increasing on an exponential rate
punishing Summer weather which makes 4 months of the year inhospitable
Anyway that's just off the top of my head
thought that's minecraft screenshot
the top host in Japan is literally a guy who looks like a ladyboy

Any niggers?
This is a really interesting thread from wizchan about a wizard who took a one-way ticket to Japan because he thought the world was ending or something and spent a few weeks (months?) living homeless and travelling around the country:

Japanese people are good people. Hitler also knew this. They are peaceful, intelligent and industrious.
Even in the most diversity section of Tokyo with many tourists and foreigners, majority of people in the video are natives
IQ 31 post. Jeet dicklet, lmao. Kys.

Write a diary or tell it to your hairdresser.
A no cash society is a slave society.
that's an american chink.
What's the average height of japs? I heard european going there is like visiting midget kingdom. Real?
- There are a lot of elderly people still in the workforce
I never ever buy tourist shit. But in the tokyo tower, in the lowest level, there was an old man selling small things, he was like 95 yo, trust me. That really broke my black heart and bought some of his items.
Strong economy
They have the most public debt in the world and their entire system is based around using a pension fund as a gosplan. They print money to buy their own government bonds and their entire credit system is based on holding US debt.
Political system
LDP is a CIA created party. The guy who created the 1955 system (which they use today) is Nobusuke Kishi and ex-war criminal turned CIA asset.
Industrialized 100 years
They were turned into a parking lot after WW2 and had light industry at best apart from shipbuilding industries. The most developed part of Japan prior to WW2 was in Manchuria because they were flattened by an earthquake in 1928.
Strong consumerism culture
Mostly due to tourism, like 9% of their GDP is from tourism they had deflation before opening up to tourism meaning their domestic market wasn't buying much.
Infrastrucutre
All of their cities as you know them now were built after the 90s. They didn't know how to do high rise buildings prior to this.
Well behaved
Japan became a total welfare state in the 1980s. They basically make fake jobs and ensure you get a job out of high school, they know these jobs are fake and the karoshi meme is completely overblown it's mostly sinecure. The entire economy revolves around pensions they create fake jobs to keep the system going.
Ethnic groups
There's minimum 4. Austro-papuan (Hayato people), a group similar to native Americans, Tungusic, and southern Chinese. They're extremely mixed.
2000 year old tradition
Pretty much everything about Japanese culture in the 90s was revised. In the 80s they were chain smoking, pissing in the street, and had delinquent gangs. Japanese can't even read books in their original format prior to the 1950s, the written and spoken language were separate until like 1930.
Japan is living proof welfare states work if you remove niggers however. Because in addition to all of this they have no food or energy security, they produce virtually nothing alone.
1 BBC can claim 200 hundred wombs at least. All it takes is a couple thousand black guys and suddenly the whole next generation is Naomi Osaka and Rui Hachimura.
it's ALWAYS everywhere in the world the same pattern
splendorous developed country or thriving country on the way to the first world
gets a left wing government
immediately opens the borders and gets diversity psyops
immediately gets FLOODED with savages from the closest shithole in massive numbers
floodgates stay open for decades and any talk about closing them is political psyops
quality of life declines
cost of life goes up
salary goes down
crime goes up
loud noises and street markets become commonplace
chill areas become no-go zones
the entire country loses 30 years of civilizatory progress and becomes a designated shitting street
traffic laws respected a bit less every day
law enforcement becomes weak and selective
every day you see more cars without license plates, loud exhausts, motorcycles with two males in erratic patterns
gun crime goes up
i'm so sorry. there is NOWHERE to go until we start fighting the elite for real. not a single place will remain without jeets/niggers/arabs
people just want you as slaves
t.also slave
immediately gets FLOODED with big bulking beefing BBC savages that have the hungest juiciest most succulent cocks and then us little pink twinks turn flaccid and go extinct :(
whenever you want to create a police state you import savages and use the media to turn the locals onto themselves to break down societal cohesion
youve done too many times for it to be as hard to notice as you think it is moshe
I want to get ravaged by a BBC savage kek XD
Mega fast internet!
Megabit? Gigabit?
my country might not be the sharpest tool of the shed but i recognize that we are incredibly privileged with cheap gigabit broadband
ffs you seem pent up, go look for zesty niggas on grindr and shut up
Hey captain right wing we opened borders during pinochet by express orders of the chicago bussines community college
Why we became a neoliberal nightmare
Gomenasai, my name is Ken-Sama.
I’m a 27 year old American Otaku (Anime fan for you gaijins). I draw Anime and Manga on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Japanese games. (Disgaea, Final Fantasy, Persona series)
I train with my Katana every day, this superior weapon can cut clean through steel because it is folded over a thousand times, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my sword license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.
I speak Japanese fluently, both Kanji and the Osaka dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Japanese history and their bushido code, which I follow 100%
When I get my Japanese visa, I am moving to Tokyo to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Studio Ghibli or a game designer!
I own several kimonos, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Japan, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my elders and seniors and speak Japanese as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.
Wish me luck in Japan!
This. Cash money is freedom.
it was bachelet and her jewish cronies that sold our future away for a cushy UN job and also imported thousands of haitians on the side. it is always a feminist progressive left wing (((leader)))
pinochet installed land mines and gave us HV3 to secure our right to exist. he fucked up in other ways but not in the way you think. also concertación sold all of our gold reserves, we used to have gold.
No you don't get to blame the last 20 years for this, the 90's was nothing but this crap I saw Bill Clinton terrorizing a local fuente de soda
HV3
the admission that your nation's existence is a net detriment to all of your neighbors and region in every way
youre south america's israel
Why do Western tourists go to Japan dressed like slobs as if they were visiting Vietnam or something. I would see myself being very self-conscious in Japan doing my best to put on a good image. Most others visiting don’t seem to think that way though.
I would see myself being very self-conscious in Japan doing my best to put on a good image.
Twink nationalism xD
very similar to europe in terms of system and institutions
Actually it's very similar to the USA, they copied many American things post WW2 after all.
strong consumerism culture, much more than anywhere in europe except england
Mostly agree.
highly advanced public transportation and infrastructure
yup
high standards of living. people live well in general
yup
high culture. People are classy and well behaved
Very true.
very aesthetically pleasant country
Subjective but I agree.
people have strong regional identity
Might be true but I think it depends on the region. Tokyo citizens are definitely proud to live there, and Osakans and Kyoto people also identify strongly with their cities.
But in less relevant regions like the cities in Shikoku for example, most people don't seem to care all that much.
japanese people seem to be comprised of two main ethnic groups
Pretty sure that was only so a thousand years ago, nowadays they have adequately blanda-upp'd to the point where everyone is somewhere on the jomon-yayoi spectrum.
people are very encouraging of others. There's a culture of encouragement that's reflected in their marketing style
I wouldn't pay too much mind to what Japanese media says, there is a vast gap between all the crazy shit they say and do on TV and show on posters vs how they act irl.
Like you said before, people tend to keep to their own business, so they aren't overly assertive in trying to help others.
there are a lot of elderly people still in the workforce, doing largely repetitive, obsolete jobs
I noticed that too.
no trash bins anywhere
Almost, there are bins in some parks.
highly urbanized country
Well, young people move to the cities cause there is no work in the boonies. But that's how it is everywhere.
creeping diversity
Unfortunately true
there's no coffee culture in Japan
Strong disagree, I saw various coffee places in Osaka alone. The Starbucks was full of young people.
mega fast internet
Not where I stayed lol
Hahahaha, poor Canada. Literally every post from there is an ESL jeet now. Sad but also hilarious.
Memeflag jewish post
See? It just sounds sarcastic when you say it.
the country is in the midst of overtourism and people are generally tired of foreigners
I notice this as well. Lots of chatter among local politicians so things will get pushed up to the federal level very soon.
Japanese women would rather pamper and push a dog around in a pram than have a baby
Many of these women are 35+ but just happen to look 20 to our western eyes. But for the Japanese men, they are essentially invisible. Most of the young women in my family want to be married and have kids young. Nearly all are married and have 2 kids before 30.
Sexual relations are highly transactional and 1% of all Japanese women have been involved in the sex industry
Tokyo lads can spot a country girl from a mile away. Their game is tailored to these girls and can easily bang them for a short spell. Most girls figure this out quickly and overcome, but many others just get caught up in the life and end up in the Tokyo meat grinder of sex degeneracy.
extremely strong taxi union which killed Uber in the country and even forced train companies to stop running trains after midnight
The major pushback was the Japs didn't want muzzie and pajeet menaces racing around Tokyo scamming the locals. Since visas to the pajeets opened up the country is already buckling under pajeet illegals.
punishing Summer weather which makes 4 months of the year inhospitable
Ugh, yep. But there is also something kind of comfy about those hot August nights sitting in a park watching the fireworks or sipping cold beer by the river and watching the fireflies.
They like to sit in cafés
There's no coffee culture in Japan
