>>41837I'd be more worried about the amount of gaijin normies in nipland right now, ruining the country's subcultures.
No.41840
>>41839>ruining the country's subcultures.can you develop, please? because to me, subcultures live and die, new comes around, and evolve even if there isn't foreigners in japan. so I need you to answer why
>>41838yeah you're kind of right. it's my fault to go and watch videos about japan and get mad at it

I went to Japan 2 weeks ago and while it’s true that it seems to cater more to tourists now it’s doing so without losing its own spirit, they’re trying to absorb tourists on their own culture (and milk their money) instead of changing their ways.
But yes I can see why for some people going to Akiba and verifying that most people there are actually Americans or Chinese (instead of japs) could make people nervous.

>>41845Don't worry, all successful countries will eventually self-destruct with immigration. Because the rich elites get money from such workforce and don't have to carry the burden of living next to them, they'll always make the choice to put their interest first(money) before the interest of the countrymen(safety).

>>41848>Don't worry, all successful countries will eventually self-destruct with immigration. joke on you, even if I don't lile immigrants because, according to me, it ruins a country, yet I still believe immigration is good for a country and will save the country. paradoxal I know haha

No.41856
>>41855Many aren't specific, just tourists being loud, disrespectful, obstructing walkways to take photos (especially bad at Fushimi Inari). I hate being on camera so some spots like Gion were stressful. To add to Akiba stories, I did see a lot of clueless tourists falling for obvious tourist traps which is always funny to see
No.41857
>>41856what are the tourist traps in japan? it could be helpful if I go there one day
No.41858
>>41856The one I saw most people fall for are succubi handing out flyers in Akiba, Dotonbori and Nipponbashi. They get you to go into their cafe/club where they will try to extort as much money out of you as they can. If you're into figures and go to Akihabara, a lot of the shops you find on the main road will be upcharging a lot. For example I found a berserk figure being sold for 300, not too far away but off the main road was the same figure for 80.
No.41860
>>41858oh ok thank you. so it is not worth it to buy figures in japan or goodies
No.41861
>>41860It isn't worth it at bigger shops, but if you know where to look it aboslutely is. For example, I got a figure for 20 dollars that would've cost 200 online. Nipponbashi has really good stores with some pretty reasonable prices. Even akiba has some good ones in the side streets

>>41858When I was in Akiba I found some good 2nd hand shit at respectable prices at Traders and surugaya, the amiami on radio kaikan was dissapointing, they have much more shit on their website.
But the worst by far was animate, I don't even know why its still called like that, almost everything they sell is garbage.
No.41874
Oh and yes if you ever go to akiba don't fall for the succubi giving you fliers, just ignore them like everyone else.
If you want to go to a maid cafe you have to choose between @home and maidreaming and it will be expensive anyway and the food is not so great, and they will try to get more money from you selling you extras, at least the menus are in english.
I would say it's worth it just one time or two, I was able to have some fun and paid for a little show of the succubi singing one of my favorite songs, and it was good, like a mini idol event, but the price is high.
Also it was one of the few places where I saw even more pathetic guys than me, there was this fatass that just kept asking for songs, and on other day there was this faggot that looked like the japanese version of the glasses kid from polar express, he paid for like 9 songs, and was ordering more and more coffee and food, and when the show started he bought like 10 of those light sticks, like dude wtf if you want to keep giving them money just do a donation for $1000 to the maids, yeesh.
