peanut posted:① ② ③ ④ I don’t know how to say this without sounding like a tremendous dork who’s slavishly drooling over everything related to glorious nippon, but this is the most Japanese document thing and I am loving it. It has the feel of every official PDF I’ve read or filled out in interactions with any Japanese entity and just kind of flooded me with a bunch of positive vibes that I’ll be doing that at some point in the future again. Sorry about the circumstances, though

Dang, this bummed me out because I though this meant that the travel ban policy had changed for tourists. I was all prepped to fly straight into Takamatsu (sup Shikoku goon) to visit my brother when the pandemic broke out and have been anxiously awaiting when things will open back up again for me to finish that planned trip.

Maybe tourism policy will change after tomorrow, but I haven't seen any real indication that Kishida is in a hurry to relax travel restrictions. Nevermind international students who would otherwise be able to get their visas, there still is NOTHING regarding student visas resuming. Tourists are going to be on the absolute bottom of the priority list so I wouldn't really expect anything concrete to be announced before the year is done.

Also gotta remember that Japan wants those sweet tourist yen, but the vast majority of that money is coming from Chinese, and China has not loosened travel restrictions one bit and given zero indication they plan to do so anytime soon. I don't know that China's decisions about leisure travel are going to dictate Japan's, but I'd bet they're a factor.

If someone goes to Hiroshima in February and there were a few very cold days in a row, is there anywhere to go that's the equivalent of a park, somewhere to just sit and study but inside?

I was gonna say Starbucks but thought I might come off sarcastic. Unless there’s a cool public library with wifi (haven’t been to Hiroshima in years) then just go to Starbucks.

I'll admit it's a bit more than I thought though, there's a website dedicated to this: https://convenieatin.com/ Family Mart you can check via their store search: https://as.chizumaru.com/famima/top?account=famima&accmd=0&c2=1 In Shinjuku for example 1/3rd of FM store have eat-in spaces. Some of those probably quite small (just a small counter or a couple tables) but they are there. Edit: actually looks like even in smaller prefectures it maxes out around 1/2 or of FM having eat in spaces. Can't be arsed to check specifically in places with less pop density among those prefectures though. LimburgLimbo fucked around with this message at 04:42 on Nov 4, 2021 |

I don't know about where you guys live, but my local libraries are extremely salty about people studying/working there, and they do everything they can to prevent it, up to and including asking people to move/leave if they've been sitting at a table too long. You're not allowed to bring anything in other than your library card and 1 piece of paper/pencil (no notebooks!). They won't even let you bring in a bag to put your books in; you have to put them in shopping baskets and then transfer them to your bag out in the hallway in front of the lockers. I have no idea if they have wifi but I don't know who they allow to stay there long enough to use it. There are some "free study" areas here and there, but they aren't really advertised as such. Usually lobby areas of large public buildings or city property. McDonald's is also a popular choice.
