Thank you for your support! Also for Japanese viewers, マジでこういうの見かけたら声を上げましょう。“私には関係ない” “どうせ次の駅で降りるし”と思うかもしれません。でも、あなたが声を上げれば周りの日本人をも勇気づける事が出来ます。

Tourists like those need to be banned

I'm getting second hand embarrassment from these people

I feel like folk's passports should be flagged when they do shit like this.

I’m Thai. I visited Japan in 2018 and 2019, and back then, people treated me like one of them—like a friend or even like a brother. But when I returned to Japan in 2025, visiting the same places in Osaka and Kyoto, the experience was completely different. I was treated more like a “bad foreigner”—the service felt cold, people gave me mad looks, and I felt like they saw me as a problem.

I completely understand the situation, as some foreigners may have behaved poorly and caused locals to see all foreigners differently. Still, it’s a shame that I couldn’t relive the same warm experience I had before. I really miss those moments.😢

As a black American who has adored the culture for years since the age of eight, I get so much anger and embarrassment seeing ppl who look like me acting like a bunch of brain dead animals over there. It stresses me out, I don't want others to assume we're all like this, it's embarrassing and I truly do hate every moment of it. Don't get me started on Johnny Somali. Please be ignorant somewhere else

An 18-year-old American tourist was arrested in Tokyo this month on suspicion of arson in the capital, with police also investigating six additional incidents. He was fortunate enough to visit Japan with his family, yet he did something like this. I'm relieved the police caught him just before they were about to leave the country. Arson is a serious crime in Japan. I hope he spends his life behind bars.

100% agree with you. Respect other cultures and just don't be an asshole.

If I go to Japan as a tourist, I do desire to blend in their culture and not act like a jerk.

I'm so disgusted by these tourists behavior. So embarrassing. Thanks for exposing them.

2:40 Actually arrest that guy for animal abuse.

Having visited Japan a number of times, it really angers me to see such disrespectful tourists littering and acting like clowns in public spaces. These idiots seem to mistake politeness for weakness but they are mistaken. I found there is a quiet dignity and strength to the Japanese that tourists shouldn't provoke. "I kindly forced him to behave well," is a good example.
It seems a whole western generation of people have lost their sense of shame which can be very offensive to Japanese society. How have we become like this? We can't entirely blame social media for bad behaviour and I also wish more people would speak out.

My family and I are finishing up a 12 day trip to Tokyo and I completely agree with you.  We want to be seen as respectful to the culture.  We all just need to speak out when we see someone acting cringy.  Thanks for posting this🤙🏾

I visited Japan before TikTok was a thing and saw those “Japanese only” signs at a few places. They were shocking at first… but once my friends and I got so lost while it was raining heavily that I forced myself to try to go into a shop with that sign outside to ask for directions. The elderly couple running it were shocked and before they could turn me away I quickly apologized in halting Japanese that we weren’t there to eat, we just needed directions. The couple smiled and was so polite and gave us the directions we needed. They wanted us to stay longer to be out of the rain but we desperately needed to get back to our accommodation before dark so we set off anyway.

I totally understood why they had the sign. They were an older couple who probably couldn’t deal with groups of rude tourists. We weren’t in Tokyo or a large city too.

I live in Japan from about 20 years and I agree with everything you said. When you go in a country you must respect the culture and traditions of that place.

It doesn't matter where you're from you should be polite.

As an American, I'm feeling Second-hand embarrassment watching these people. I hate how some of these tourists are making us look bad.

旅行者をbanするよりTikTokをbanした方が良さそう

Can't believe it what I saw.
The guy that screamed in the middle of the street and also blow up the girl's balloons: he was a Brazilian, just like me.
What he says to them after asking their name was "I didn't like your name. I think it's silly. I don't want you. I don't want you too. I DON'T WANT ANYO—".
Can't believe someone that came from the samr country as me, learned japanese (so it's implied that he learned japan's culture), and does stupid tiktok stunts like these....

Like you said... "cringe."

Regarding the whole "Japanese only customers please!", I had an interesting experience in Tokyo: I tried to go into a sushi restaurant in Shibuya and the elderly lady kept saying to me "sorry, Japanese only!", I replied to her "Konnichiwa! Nihongo daijobu desu, sumimasen!" and she immediately changed her facial expression and showed me to the table XD Later while the order was getting prepared she apologised for turning me down initially and said it was cause she had incidents with foreigners causing problems and putting off their local regular customers. And the sushi was delicious too! :)
