When it comes to traveling to Japan, many Taiwanese people first think of cities such as Tokyo and Osaka. However, a netizen recently said that after traveling to major Japanese cities, he felt that Tokyo and Osaka were too commercialized and mainland tourists accounted for the majority, making it difficult to experience the “Japanese feeling”. Therefore, he asked netizens if they would prefer to visit urban areas in Japan. Or somewhere in the countryside?”

A netizen asked “Would you rather go to Japan’s cities or the countryside?” on PTT.Post a messagehe pointed out that Japan’s cities are commercialized and fast-paced, and mainlanders and mainland shop assistants can be seen everywhere. Although it is convenient to communicate in Chinese, there is no “feeling of a foreign place”, so he prefers to go to the suburbs or rural areas of Japan, most of the time. Everyone you meet will be local people. In addition to the longer journey and fewer trains, “the countryside is relatively more comfortable.”

The original PO also suggested that the most troublesome problem in the countryside is communication. It is easy for people who only know English to speak like a duck. Therefore, it is recommended that translation software should not be used, or that people should learn Japanese well.

In response to the original PO’s question, many netizens responded with “countryside”, “Cities are full of tourists, and there is no real sense of integration into Japan”, “It’s very relaxing to be away from the city”, “Find a small station on the Shinkansen, and tourists will just Much less”, “It was really good to go to Miyama Town by car once”, “I just came back from Izu City, especially in Central Izu where most people don’t speak English, but it was really great”, “Been to Sanin I like it very much. The disadvantage is that there are few cars and the transportation is not convenient.” “The countryside has a very Japanese atmosphere, and the cities are similar to all Asia.” “It is interesting to chat with the locals about local history.” “I really like Sendai City and Okayama City. , Ehime Prefecture is also great”, “There are not many people from mainland Okinawa”.

However, some people expressed different opinions, “Everyone in the comments likes the countryside. In fact, I have never met half a Taiwanese in the countryside of Japan.” “Do we first define Kyoto or Okinawa as rural Japan?” “Ordinary cities”, “In fact, the countryside is a tourist attraction that is not a metropolitan city. It is still a tourist attraction. Who would go to places like Yamaguchi Sayama and Kanagawa Qinye?”, “The Japanese service you like is not available in the countryside. Foreigners’ Japanese is terrible. Most of them will be ignored.” “You will still meet mainlanders in the countryside, but there are only a lot of hotels now.” “Places with a huge gap between urban and rural areas have poor medical care, cannot shop, and have inconvenient transportation.”
