As you have lived in the U.S. for a longer period of time, don't you start to see the good and bad aspects of Japan, and the aspects that need to be corrected?
If I had not come to the U.S., I would not have noticed that some things are common knowledge in the U.S. I am not an American fanatic by any means.
I have seen and know a lot of the "messiness" and bad aspects of America. However, there are many reasonable and good aspects. The purpose of this topic is to discuss everyday examples, and to get the word out and spread from this place to Japan.

My dream is that some local government in Japan will discover this topic and start working with the topics discussed in the topic and say, "Let's create a model city ！ that is different from what Japan has been used to.

The topics are limited to topics related to Japan.
Politics, economy, weak police force, corona problem, injection problem, working style, internet diffusion, stocks, virtual currency, English education, prices, land prices, earthquake, defense problem, lack of credit card diffusion, lack of my number diffusion, health insurance, retirement benefits, tax evasion friendly society, criminal friendly Self-Defense Forces are paid too little, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc. ？ Let's discuss anything else.

The quality is high in Japan in every area. The food, the products, the service.
If it weren't for the bad influence of the US, it would be number one in the world by now.

I am already a U.S. citizen, so I have a very different way of thinking from Topix.

To be clear, I don't care how Japan is compared to here or where it is changing.

If I had to say something, I would say that I go to Japan once a year to "seek a nostalgic Japan" and "feel the nature and climate unique to Japan". I have not been able to do so for the past few years, and I am getting frustrated. The only thing that bothers me when I travel to Japan is that credit cards are not widely accepted. People who are in Japan and proud to be Japanese say out loud that Japan is a "very safe country" and no one cares if you have multiple 10,000 yen bills in your wallet sticking out of the back pocket of your pants, and that you won't get robbed.

However, as a long time resident here, I never carry $100 bills and pay for all my purchases with credit cards. I am so accustomed to this that when I travel to Japan, I am inconvenienced by the fact that I cannot pay by credit card everywhere. The best example is the fact that most cases of purchasing Suica and tickets on JR and private railways do not take cards. I've heard that recently there are more and more ticket machines that accept credit cards, but that seems to be mainly at terminal stations in big cities, and if you go even a little bit to the countryside, you are required to pay with cash in almost all of them.

Ikenne, I think I went a little too narrow...

Well, I guess we are both "frogs in the well" as superpowers, so we can't afford to have "big differences" or "disappointments".


"Make Japan a better society. Let's make the "society" we live in better than that.

＞ Mobile Suica

Mobile Suica is also known as "Osaifu-Keitai", right?

Mobile phones available in the U.S. do not have "mobile wallet" function.

Japanese "Osaifu-Keitai" has a chip called FeliCa, which is unique to Japan, and

cell phones with FeliCa chips are not available in the US at all.


This is a stupid idea.
