I don't doubt some of this stuff happened, but I also wouldn't be surprised if some of it is nationalist fear mongering. Just like the whole "tourists are kicking the deer" rumor where no evidence ever surfaced. Some nationalist Japanese really like to stoke the anti-foreigner flames.
But Japan truly does have an over-tourism problem so this could absolutely be justified.
They desperately need more immigration though, don't they?
Maybe they could say "you can come to the festival, but only if you don't leave."
They do but I don't know if there is a significant conversion from tourism to immigration. I think most tourists are taking advantage of the weak yen, not trying to live there long term.
I was kidding, heh.
…They do need to get on that, though. My completely layman’s impression is that Japan has some cultural issues with immigration, but that’s becoming an existential issue.
Every South-West European country needs immigration, and practically they are facilitating it, but it doesn't seem that the political speech is any different…
it does happen unfortunately, not only japan but chinese from china are doing this to taiwan, other asian countries and europe too.
"Foreigners" - I highly doubt this is a general foreigner problem. Must be uncivilized countries only. 99% of tourists knows how to act in another country.
uncivilised countries
What do you mean by that?
Starting to sound like a dog whistle to me
That's exactly my thought tbh, hence asking them to explain themselves
Americans probably
As the article points out, we're also in an election (voting is today (Sunday Japan time)) so the cynical side of me worders if the timing is coordinated since fear and "foreigners bad" are successfully distracting from actual issues of rising prices and stagnant wages leading to a lower quality of life
I live in the US and I have no idea what that's like.

I haven't gone to a foreign country on vacation in a long time but... why the fuck would anyone behave like this? Even the 'not my country, I am just a guest' idea is bullshit. Sure tourists are there to have a fun time and would eat and drink more than they would at home but... shitting on the street? Really?
Look, the story is full of deceit. If crimes were committed, they would have called the cops, right? Or posted pictures and video. Of course they would have ... unless the perpetrators were rich Japanese folk. This is common sense.
Mainland Chinese tourists are infamous for their lack of manners.
Indians also are famous for pooping and being unhygienic. Recently japan has allowed a lot of indian people to enter the country.
To be fair, it seems to say they were shitting in yards, not the street, so calm down.
It really is just tourists that people are talking about whenever right wing lunatics talk about borders.
