They should be left alone. Humans have already done enough damage to our planet.

This douche bag should be dangling on a rope.

Pathetic. But then the testing is complete garbage and sets kids up to fail. Putting a stubborn obachan up as an English teacher who thinks she knows it all is a common problem.

The whole curriculum should be blown up and re designed.

Kids should be taught English as a mandatory subject from age 8 here.

Many U.S. polls have indicated that some in the country believe the nuclear attacks on Japan were necessary to end the war.

Pointing this out deprives the Japan/Hiroshima victim card being played. Asiaman7 above is spot on. The war dragging on into 1946 would have seen the USSR make landfall. Tell me how that would have been more humane.

The nice thing about Europe is that with a little research, there's always somewhere smaller, nicer & quieter.

The average tourist puts zero thought into travelling and the adventure it brings and are merely box ticking for social media posts.

Air BnB is a leach. Annoying residents at the same time as making housing more expensive for residents of the city. i refuse to use it .

The hundredth article that doesn't tell use when they plan to start the discharge.

The prefectural capital of Hokkaido in northern Japan is now exploring the possibility of instead bidding for 2034 or later, after the scandals that surfaced last summer forced the city and the Japanese Olympic Committee to halt promoting a 2030 bid in December.

How about just not bothering at all.

Japan's bid to host the 2030 Winter Olympics in Sapporo has looked less and less likely to progress with public support cratering amid court hearings and guilty verdicts over bribery and bid-rigging scandals related to the Tokyo Summer Games.

Jibun no sei - it's your own fault!

How hopeless are the cops in this country?

Kishida A380 off on another trip. Does he do any work in Japan at all?

Another article that doesn't tell us when this is supposed to start happening.

Do you think the Japanese government gives a toss about this? In their view, J child recued by J mother and returned to safe, clean Japan. The rest of the world can do one.

Please just hold them in Paris for ever. Never in Japan again. The IOC corruption racket that leaves host cities burdened in debt from this side show must stop.

Good. Kids shouldn't be eating this crap anyway. They've done the kids a favour.

forward thinking employment and tax policies that don't simply prioritise the economy, and instead help build a fairer, less materialistic (more sustainable) society.

Satire?

There are way too many tourists here now. Anything to deter them from coming is a good thing.

Ironic that they used fossil fuels to get to a meeting talking about how to stop using fossil fuels. One hint - zoom.

CCP steps up anti Japanese propaganda as justification for increasing strangulation of democracy in Hong Kong. Headline fixed. You're welcome!

Hopefully they'll increase the penalty to death on appeal. This guy is pure scum.

This will get NHK's attention.

They really need to teach kids to swim in this country. And the younger the better. By 11 I could not just swim but was taught how to save another in trouble.

My house with its own walls cost less, and I get freehold of the land.

Zero mention of this on NHK tonight. Guess Japan aren't in it so they couldn't be bothered.

While Christopher Nolan’s new film "Oppenheimer" is opening in much of the world this week, a Japanese release date has not yet been announced.

Don't worry, there'll be bootlegs of it out there a few hours after its release

We are still missing the large amount of chinese tourists. But other than that, things practically has return to normal.

I'm eternally thankful for that.

Note this article goes out on the same day that post covid crime has increase. Coincidence much?

Kishida will take another overseas jaunt for the publicity snaps right?

Another week, another hero beats up on a woman. Disgusting.

Since when was ham plant based?

I just buy the bags of egg salad from Gyomu Super, snip the corner and squeeze it directly down the hatch

Brilliant!

Kishida did not raise the alleged murder of Saudi dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018. The U.S. intelligence community concluded that the crown prince approved an operation that resulted in the killing, causing a global outcry.

Yes, a gutless tool he is. But no one else seems to have a pair to raise this matter either.

Never heard of her.

Japanese curry chain becomes a hot topic with foreigners on Reddit, but is it any good?

No. Japanese curry is rubbish.
