Fuck US cunts.

hmmm. JPY bottom signal? or JPY cliff signal.. hmmm

Japan isn't cheap you stupid fucking weeb

They're out of touch amerigolems. Good thing that law makes it so they can't become citizens

>>53109715
>120 a night
>cheap

1. Im not autistic and refuse to cope with Asian women like most of you subhuman spergs

2. I’ve been before. It is fucking expensive. That being said it will probably get a lot cheaper once the yen finally collapses (soon)

The USA has taken in something like 70 million extra migrants over the past 30 years so prices are inflated.

>>53109726
Me and my wife regularly rack up a $120 bill eating at the cheesecake factory and we're out in Missouri. A 4 star hotel in Japan for the same price is a steal.

>>53109748
>They're out of touch amerigolems.
That's what I think. Compared to Western shitholes, everywhere else looks 'cheap'.

4 star hotel in NYC is probably like $300 a night, so Tokyo looks a lot cheaper.

>>53109726
>>53109761
$120 a night in America gets you a Comfort Inn suite in Portland, OR
If it's an actual 4-star hotel with free amenities in a capital city, that is a steal

It’s because the Yen is fucking weak as fuck to the dollar right now. It used to be About $1 for 100 yen. Now it’s $1 for 130 yen. That’s basically a 24% discount on everything. My advice is to take advantage of this before Bitcoin and Chinabux overtake USD as global reserve currency.

>>53109715
how will you keep making an american salary in Japan?

>>53109715
>anime profile pictures

I'm guessing they haven't checked the price of fruit/vegetables or gym memberships at gyms where they have free weights. "Tokyo is so cheap" LMAO.

It's a dystopian shithole where everyone still wears a mask and they require 3 vax doses to get a fucking hotel room. Fuck this place, it's still living like it's 3 years ago and there's no change in sight

>>53109803
yes but you and your wife are amerifats and eat like hogs at a trough

>>53109715
120 a night
Bruh that's like 3600 a month
Even a fucking tech worker pays like 2000 for an apartment in a decent city.
Sure Japan is cheap rn but these dumb asses are a horrible example.
Also if you haven't noticed the yen is rising in value, so these gaijin are gonna have to leave soon.

>>53109983
i went to japan in 2017. it was kino but im never going back when everyone is a deranged covid cuck. glad i got to see it before it went to shit.

Wow thanks for enlightening us retard

>>53109715
>cheap hotels in Tokyo
I was there not even 10 days ago
Those rooms are shoeboxes

I can tell you nothing is more cringe to a japanese person than another "american" trying to fit in btw
You are like an african migrant in Geneva, a spectacle at best, a nuisance normally and at worst a beast not worth the oxygen that surrounds him

>>53110048
I can imagine being this autistic you missed the whole point

>>53110030
This was the last best time to see it. I'm visiting in-laws in Hokkaido right now and it's just soul-crushing, nobody knows why they're still following rules that were dropped by the government 6 months ago (and were never legally mandated), but it's clear as day to me; social pressure and the desire to maintain the status quo means these fuckers will be wearing masks in their cars and placing plastic barriers all over their fucking restaurants for the next 20 years.

>>53109768
>>53109792
He's right though, there's a reason why all the guys you see with asian women are autistic retards who could never get a girl back in their own country. Asian women are fucking horrendous to be with, but as an autist it's your only option. Their only redeeming feature is that they're great at squat cowgirl position, which is probably because they've spent years squatting over a hole in the ground to take a shit.

>>53109983
sounds ideal, i'd much rather live there than somewhere like florida or alabama
japanese women are the cherry on top

I know I would never fit in and don't want to disturb their gran autismo society with my ghoulish presence

>>53110059
>I can tell you nothing is more cringe to a japanese person than another "american" trying to fit in btw
so what, we're supposed to walk around complaining that theres no walmart?

I don't speakah Japanese.

>>53109803
Yes, and what the turbovirgin weeb fails to mention is that for you AND your wife the hotel costs $240 per night because the pricing structure is per person here.

>>53109726
Americans seem to earn $60k just for being a waiter so it is cheap for them.

>>53109983

I've been saying this forever. It's a place you visit for a couple weeks. Anyone that actually wants to live there is a brainwashed fool/weeb.

People work 14 hours a day, 6-7 days a week. They have the highest suicide rate. People live in little 500sqft apartments. Their birthrates are falling off of a cliff. The men and women barely even talk, or fuck anymore. They actually have a lot of restrictions, regulations and laws. You still need to wear masks and be vaxxed almost everywhere you go.

People think it's a paradise because it's clean. But, that's about it. The truth is, it's a dystopian hellhole covered in neon lights.

>$120 a night
>cheap

You can get a business visa in Japan by buying property and setting up a property-management business. $40,000 minimum.

Any anons want to pool together some money and buy up property in some commuter town and be comfy landlords in Japan? When I make it this is what I'm going to do.


>A growing number of affluent Chinese are coming to Japan to live, according to real-estate brokers and people in the Chinese community here, in an indication of social and political tensions back home.
>Since November, she has been living in a four-bedroom house in Otaru, a snow-covered port town, while keeping an eye on a portfolio of about a dozen properties in the area that she purchased for the equivalent of about $300,000.
>These days, tighter American immigration controls are pushing more people to consider Japan. If a foreigner puts the equivalent of around $40,000 or more in capital into a Japan-based business—such as by purchasing real estate and setting up a property-management business—he or she may be eligible for a business visa.
>By contrast, the minimum investment for a similar visa to enter the U.S. is $800,000. Singapore, another popular destination for Chinese, requires a minimum that is equivalent to about $1.85 million.

>>53110213
How much do love hotels cost? It seems weird that nips supposedly book rooms regularly just to fuck

And it was a separate flat in the inner city!
Got lucky tho since it was a new listing and the host gave a huge discount cause the japanese seem to worry about reviews a lot.

Osaka is cheaper anyways but still, blew my mind it was cheaper to stay there than rent in shitty german villages

>>53110064
Whats your point?

You can't just "move" somewhere, you blobbering retard. The more prosperous a country is, the more migration restrictions there are

I moved to Hong Kong from Finland, basically same salary and nicer weather. For Americans it would be a big pay cut
However my end destination is probably something like Bangkok which is my favorite city.

They're wasps that live in giant communal nests made of paper. If they want privacy for a little love making they need a place to go and for 50 bucks it's better than having your neighbors hear your squealing.

>>53109715
You can move to Japan, but you still are going to need income. And Japanese people really don't like foreigners, I have a friend who lives there, it's not what you are hoping for. If you are a loser here, you will be a loser there. Many sad westerners wandering around Tokyo working menial jobs.

>>53109715
I'm going to grad school for Finance in Tokyo in September. Talked to a bunch of westerners who work there and the job market is pretty good if I can manage to learn workable Japanese.

Because Japan isn't growing, Japanese companies looking to expand internationally and thus a lot more international deals are going on. Unfortunately, the Japanese suck at English. So, if you have finance industry experience and speak business level Japanese, you're set. Way easier to break into private equity or IB roles than western countries (as an english speaker) due to the labour supply being so low. Hours are probably better as well (from hell to hell-lite). At least the Japs apperantly get most weekends off.

It's hard to attract talent when Japanese is a hard language and everyone fell for the "Japan expensive and has bad hours" meme. Competing for roles in English countries for any white collar role is going to be hard mode in the coming years, as you're going to be competing against every indian and internationally educated chinese dude.

I’m from aus and Japan is so fucking cheap holy shit ! Literally everything you consume is $’s cheaper.
I can literally go to a ramen house, get a meal and a drink for around $10aud. I can get a fucking drink from a vending machine for $1.5 compared to $4 ? Want to go to Kyoto from Japan ? That shits like $74. It would cost me more money/time to drive from Brisbane to the goldcoast. I went on holiday to Japan in 2019 and it cost me 3k to get there, accom and spending. The only thing lacking over there is ASS. Like none of them had any assets going for them !

>>53109768
>refuse to cope with *any race* women
>I'm not autistic
You have never been laid nor will you ever get laid, very sad life anon

Quite frankly there is a massive cultural/ethnic/language barrier. Learning Japanese is moderately difficult since there's a new syntax and alphabet. Culturally it's about maintaining the status quo and to go against that is a faux pas to the point where you may get ostracized. The bureaucracy when trying to live there is a pain, literal hell, almost comical. You see expats there basically living purgatory since they feel like they have nowhere else to go; and expats only link up with expats because they'll never really be part of a Japanese inner circle as it is a novelty. It's not Sweden tier but close to it. Though in retrospect, it is clean and relatively safe. Wanting to go there to escape /pol/s nightmare won't do much as they're expanding beyond Roppongi and that /pol/s nightmare is traveling a lot more. I wouldn't mind moving there if I had "fuck you money" where I can hire fixers to do everything for me. It just seems like a transient country on guessing how long you'll last before you leave. I've mate Japanese expats in other countries especially Thailand, Philippines, Singapore where they have businesses there and the main reason to basically freedom from the autism. One thing of note, outsiders of Japan and come in and reap the comforts and benefits but I've noticed Japanese that travel out of Japan are often dumbfounded on how the rest of the world works, like they don't develop situational awareness and often see them scammed or pickpocketed in Europe, it's sad really. The ideation of Japan is a facade that get's chipped away eventually.

TL;DR fun place to visit for a few months; not a fun place to live.

>>53109726
4 star hotel

>>53109726
$120 at a 4 star hotel is steal especially in Japan. I honestly think it's an offseason deal since shit sky rockets up during November, December, and January and during March to May. Honestly, if you travel to places like SEA you can get cheaper 4-Star hotels and get better service than the bare minimum for what you'd get for $120 a night in the US.

>>53114173
Way cheaper than that. A full meal of ramen and drink is like 7$. I stayed at 3 star hotels recently for 75$

>>53112934
No, one stars go for +-200p/p wine included

>>53115447
>It's not Sweden tier but close to it.
Quite based then. Now I want to visit

>>53115741
with wine it's about 150€ per person.

>>53110869
A lot of losers work high end jobs over there, in fact most of the upper class sucks. Okinawa is where i live now and its great because americans make it better. Westerners are sad in tokyo because the city is shit and the people are kiserable and every boss is a narcissist or psychopath.

>>53115447
Best post in this thread.

>>53115971
>every boss is a narcissist or psychopath.
Isn't that just them exploiting the whole "senpai" deal where it's similar to Boomer USA where your elders are always right even if their wrong to preserve the social hierarchy

>>53115811
By that I mean the extreme Xenophobia to each other to keep each other in social check. But you'll be excused from that social obligation as you are just a baka-gaijin. Atleast you'll get to feel how those Africans in Sweden are treated though.

Like I said, fuck you money or you'll be in purgatory. I'm pretty sure Pewdiepie had the money to have fixers do everything for him when going there, he even took a private jet so he can bring his dogs over.

>>53112934
I love retards pretending Europe has one price class. Europe has very diverse COL.. One country can be cheap and another expensive. You cannot say "Europe has blablalb" or "In Europe blablab costs €x". That's like pretending the whole Americas has the same cost.. NA & CA & Mexico has different costs per area.. Fucking simpletons.

>>53109715
I just moved over there a few months ago after graduating from university. No Western company wanted to hire me back home but I ended up getting hired as a Japanese company's first foreign employee.
Pay isn't great but Japanese companies hand out all sorts of subsidies to their employees. At the moment they pay all of my rent. Trying to overcome the cultural barrier is an ongoing process. I speak good enough Japanese that I can work in the language every day. The country is safe and despite the memes work hours are pretty much the same as the West.
As >>53115447 says the red tape here is an absolute comical nightmare. People are so entrenched in their procedures and the concept of "wiggle room" is non existent here. That being said I really enjoy living in a regimented rules-oriented society that's socially conservative. There's things that I'd want to change of course (like the fact that most stores in Japan do not take any returns), but there's going to be tradeoffs wherever you live. So far life is good, but I don't want to work the wagie life forever. No idea how to escape it though because I've tried and failed at investing before.

Thanks; pardon my typos. I just had a stream of thought that I rushed to compile. But the gist is there.

>>53115971
I am more curious as how the economic situation is at the moment. Especially with what's going on. From my friends still there, prices have gone up, but not enough where it causes a riot. I know most people don't make a lot there compared to other developed nations and it's why the low prices for stuff, especially konbini's are relatively cheap. I know it's a nation of economic stagnation that I don't see it coming out of it soon. I can't imagine it becoming similar to thailand(debauchery) in order to draw in money since Japan is kind of hypocritical where tourism bucks is very much needed, but they loathe gaijin. Though I've noticed more amateur porn coming out of Japan, not sure if its indicative of anything

I've already lived in Japan for 20 years, married, and gone native.

You are all so far behind, you will never catch up. So give up, and try to fix your own shitty economies instead of flooding Japan with more cumskins.

>>53110260

>>53109715
Japan is not cheap

>>53116832
in his defense, quality of life and conveniences hide the economic stagnation. The average EU citizens is poorer than the US but in some EU countries QoL is pretty good. That being said, Japan gives little room for economic flexibility, it's one of those place where commitment/waging towards your company for a chunk of your life will push you up the economic ladder.
>even south korea is more wealthy
no. When it comes to it's citizens, they are on par or worse. Korean's are shallow, and will put themselves into debt to make themselves look good or superior socially. Look at their media, it's popular fictional television shows are those death games where a person risks their lives for a cash reward in order to get out of debt.

I'm not sure how they keep goods like Bento's at Konbini's cheap(not fresh), but really that's all a wagie needs for sustenance before they spend the rest on expensive hobbies.

>>53117137
Aside from accommodations, with food you can get by just eating Konbini bentos for around $20 a day.

>>53109739
Japan can be cheap if you really min-max

The Japanese hate brown people. The chicks will look at me with disgust. Not that I don't get the same treatment here.

>>53117346
probably saw through the facade or no money. Fake Japanese can be attributed to how for the sake of the greater good, they have a saccharine politeness. A better phrase is that their politeness is insincere. I've heard some weeb butcher the Japanese language and had Japanese say the infamous "you're japanese is very good"

Been here a month, the living compared to Finland is like half the price. Subways and all are even more cheaper.
I have a hotel room in a freaking GINZA for 46euro a night! What the fuck?
Cheapest hostel room was in Osaka for about 8euro a night.
A restaurant dinner here like half the price too, but i did do a mistake and went to a high-class bar once, but i'd say it was still worth it.
Its not only what you buy but where you buy it.

Do the hotels in movies really exist? The ones where they send a group of women in those robes up to your room to choose from?

>>53111683
Yeah that's great and all, but how is Japan better? All you did was point at everything except solutions to Japan's problems.

the fact that Japanese people seethe at our fruit prices makes me think other wise.

about to build a house outside of Tokyo. land is free (from in-laws), house will be about $250k (tax included), putting ~$80k down, interest rate is a laughable 1-1.5%. payment will be like $500/month. will probably pay 2-3x that each month and get the sucker paid off in 10 years. oh yeah it includes a full solar system with battery, "ZEH" style house so utility bills should be close to zero. everything warrantied for 10 years. this would be at least twice the price in the US, even if the land were free.

>>53117437
chinese also do that fake complimenting, even if someone totally butchers the language and can be barely understood and they still say it's good. so you never know if you are actually good or not

>>53117326
That was the case maybe 10-15 years ago. Nowadays even McDonalds and Cheesecake Factory in China will run you about the same as it does in America. I think Japan and Vietnam are the last cheap spots left.

>>53121246

>>53112921
Lmao hey retard you think people live here? this is called a business district middle American communities and local governing bodies allow businesses to build away from and separate from where people live and raise their family’s not like in big city’s where people live on top of each other and the train runs right next to their bedroom window you fucking retard middle America keeps this shit away from their community’s and beautiful country side but you have never been outside of your apartment so you wouldn’t know the difference you fucking rat in a cage.

No matter what you do, sorry but I have standards, enjoy being denied entry to certain places and fleeced for your money.

Shut up faggot. All of America is equally shit and souless. You're coping.

>>53109739
it depends, the service stuff people go to do on vacation is definitely cheap, but if you lived there, you cant afford basic appliances we have here, big nig tvs, land or cars

>>53124123
pretty much; it's why a lot place are public like Laundry places and why internet cafe's are so popular. Teetering on the age of "you will own nothing and be happy"

Fuck, i guess maybe i will not see japan after all

>>53124913
Not Japanese, but yeah it’s worth it. Memes aside the country has a real charm especially when you get out of Tokyo itself, the smaller cities are pretty wonderful. I went in the beginning of 2020 before all the COVID bullshit kicked off and got the train(s) from Tokyo to Sapporo to stay for a few days. For someone who hadn’t ever experienced winter in a proper northern hemisphere city that’s blanketed with snow drifts as tall as your waist, it was pretty magnificent. One of the best memories I have is just walking about Sapporo city and the parks at night. I will admit I think it’s a better travel destination as a solo individual or as a couple though, it’s an oddly melancholic country with a feel that would be difficult to appreciate as a kid IMO.

Do you have kids? If so they might find smaller places a bit boring. Possibly better off sticking around the larger cities because there’s more to do that would appeal to them. Disneyland, for example.

Also for the sex pests here, claims of Nip women being easy to get laid with are dubious at best in my experience. Maybe if you go to Roppongi where they’re actively looking for white guys. But anywhere else you would need to have a half decent handle on the language and at least be conversational. I went to a couple of clubs and ironically only got attention from white girls there who happened to be on vacation as well.

Were you only there for a week or two? Its probably harder to get the sideways if you are basically in the city only on a tuesday because you are speedrunning the rest of the country. Staying longer you are more likely to run into a jap woman who has studied abroad and can speak english to some extent.

>>53112921

The funny thing of any civilisation in most of japan looks like that.
Lived here for 3 years bow and driven basically everywhere

>>53125640
I was there for like two weeks total, about half of that in Sapporo so yeah I guess I did speedrun it a bit. Might have to give it a try again for a bit longer at some point in the future, but now I have a girlfriend so the chances of that happening are nil now unfortunately.

>>53110650
You live in a communist shithole though

>>53125483
Thanks for the detailes reply anon,.i have 2 kids, 15 and 16. We did london last summer and had a good time just seeing the sights around Westminster and whatnot.

You won't be working in IB or PE in Japan without speaking fluent Japanese.

>>53109966

Work at Yokota AB, dipshit.

It’s like America to Japan 101. The other option is JET.

Lived in Japan 4 years as a military IT contractor making bank tax free

>>53117437
Ah yes I've heard that line, and the standard "waaaa so bigu" but they are tight as fuck over there. So it's win win

>>53125483
>I went to a couple of clubs and ironically only got attention from white girls there who happened to be on vacation as well.
This was exactly my experience. Too bad I have terminal yellow fever and want nothing to do with white girls anymore. Literally zero attraction. Maybe that's why I got their attention.

I live in Osaka, went to Berlin and LA some years ago, and here is cheaper

>>53123025
>>53127054
oh wow. Is there a firm I have to go through to buy these stocks? $30k is cheap to get a residency Visa and I can finally see how these Youtubers are able to buy houses there like Pewdiepie. I may look into it just to have that option.

>>53125483
Depends

White girls dont like me and i never had a date with one, 6'1 bluegreen eyed ginger
But asian girls realllly like me, even in my home country
And in japan i had girls text me, two times they wanted me to get them pregnant and said they will pay for a love hotel, one time sex is enough, 'want to steal your cum'
Didnt do it ofc but that was crazy

>>53123169
Imagine writing all this out just to cope with being surrounded by only chains
