Tokyo Introduces New Services For Foreign Visitors

Mostly in Japanese, this video addresses measures to improve services in Tokyo for foreign visitors. Two issues a recent survey threw up are the lack of non-Japanese signs and the difficulty of getting around if you don't speak Japanese. The video shows a new multi-lingual shopping guide and the Borg-like UP headset.

What a bunch of schlock. I'd rather go to Paris. Once ANY tourist is basically outside the gate of Narita they are totally fucked. From the illiterate, shabu smoking taxi drivers to the smile-and -acknowledge-nothing concierges, Japan remains pretty much the most tourist unfriendly location on the planet - except for perhaps, Dafur. At least there you could actually negotiate in a common language ...
See you in PyonPyang!
