>hurr durr I like animu, I go to japan first :)
These faggots should be denied entry upon landing
Go to England or somewhere else in Western Europe first where the rules and customs are somewhat similar and you don't have to deal with a significant language barrier.
I'd even recommend Thailand before Japan for someone who has never been abroad. Japan is not a normal country and has a lot of autistic rules and behaviors that first-time travelers are going to struggle with.

Don't come to Japan, overtourism is ruining the country and making life difficult for the locals. Japanese people are too polite to be openly hostile, but foreigners visiting Japan should know that they are not wanted and are merely tolerated.
>>
>>2885373
I've been waiting for 30 years to come to Japan. But youre right that foreigners are ruining for those like me who want to go to experience its culture. Instead of telling me not to come, tell me what to do to be the best gaijin ever.

>I'm thinking Japan and London as my first trip.
don't listen to the other retards
both are great first time travel destinations
there is absolutely nothing wrong with Japan
it's easy to navigate, tourist spots mostly have english speaking people around or just use your phone as live translator
>Any international travel tips?
learn a few basic phrases like "Good Morning / Evening", "Thank You" and "Please" in the language where you travel to
goes a long way
look up what type of plug outlet they have and take the correct converter
observe how locals do stuff before fucking things up yourself and be respectful
research the local payment (some countries operate mostly on cash, others some App, mostly Visa / Mastercard will be fine)
if you have the funds, go to higher end hotel for a few days
concierges can help you plan anything and will speak English
great to get an initial overview if you don't want to plan too much yourself
although ChatGPT/Gemini etc. give good plans as well (just verify everything)
don't stress to much and enjoy your travels anon

>Japan really isn't though
why?
there isn't a single valid reason in this thread
and no, muh japanese people will be "annoyed" is not valid, not even true
on the contrary
there are so many things that make Japan a great first time international travel choice
>easy to get around, google maps routes you well, just need a public transport card (in iPhone directly)
>language barrier nothingburger unless you want to go to some obscure rural place
>super safe
>good food
even boomers can pick up travel guides for local customs
so I assume someone visiting /trv/ will be able to read on of the literal thousands of online visiting japan beginner guides
and everyone knows how to use translation apps
sometimes /trv/ really has the worst kind of gatekeeping kek

>tell me what to do to be the best gaijin ever
Your presence itself becomes the nuisance. The locals don't want to waste time trying to communicate with you through google translate, most businesses cater to a small group of local regulars, who don't want tourists to invade their spaces. You don't know how to eat Japanese food and will probably turn your nose up at most of it anyways. Every time I've met up with a friend from overseas visiting Japan, I've regretted it, because I end up having to hold their hand the entire time to prevent them from bringing shame on me. People blocking escalators, talking on their phone in the train, letting their kids treat crowded commuter trains as jungle gyms, trying to wear swimsuits in the onsen. Japan is an elf society and westerners are absolute barbarians in comparison. If you want to be a "good gaijin," literally enroll in a Japanese language course for a couple of years and learn about Japanese customs and manners. The country is not an amusement park or a backdrop for your photos. Unlike Thailand, Japan is not a "land of smiles" and they're not happy to play host. They'll be polite to you; because rigid standards mean that they *have* to be polite, but you must understand that this politeness is "tatemae" and is not representative of how they really feel about you (which for most Japanese people is going to be resentment or anger).
There was a time when foreign visitors were enough of a rarity that it didn't really bother anyone, and it was kind of a novelty, but that time has past. It's gotten really bad in the last few years.

>b-but my propaganda news outlet and made up statistics
your turbo weeb autismo just makes you think this
most regular japanese people literally don't care
only some specifically touristy places are genuinely overrun
also if they dislike tourists, it's usually hate for Chinese and South (East) Asians
>Speak to any person in Japanese and all they say is they want tourists out.

>>2885374
If you want to be the absolute best tourist possible, the name of the game is to not create any disturbance/hassle of any sort, you should fully blend in.
Study the language seriously and try to use it as much as possible, don't just default to speaking to employees in english and force them to switch to english for you. If you're struggling to communicate with someone about something, you've created a hassle.
Research into the places you want to eat, beforehand, so you know what to order and how to order. If you're trying to figure out things on the spot, you've created a hassle.
Look up reviews or otherwise make sure a place is foreigner friendly before going in. I intentionally avoid most small / local places. Leave those for the Japanese, or at least only go if you're capable of decent Japanese. Stay with the places that are openly accepting of you. A good rule of thumb is that if the store's sign is entirely in Japanese, with no English, it's most likely not the place for you.
Most tourists make no effort to blend in, visually. They're surrounded by a hundred Japanese dressed in pants and dark colors and they're just strolling through in shorts with a bright pink shirt, tons of visible tattoes, etc. If they notice you as sticking out, you've created a hassle.
If you're in a resturant talking loudly with your friends, and locals keep noticing noticing english behind them, you've created a hassle.
If they walk past you and get hit in the face with the scent of your deodorant or perfume, you've created a hassle.
Copy what everyone around you is doing.
Look up various videos/guides around culture, or "unspoken" rules and make sure not to be ignorant of them.

Do the complete opposite of what this guy says.
Be the worst tourist possible. Fuck is Takeshi gonna do? Accelerate.
If you're not at an advanced level in the language, just use English. You look like a retard if you're low level and try to use it.
Don't research anything. Follow your dick and figure it out.
Go wherever the fuck you want. Never read reviews. Wander and go wherever looks appealing.
Be a peacock. Stand out. Don't blend in.
Say what you want at whatever volume you please wherever you go
Don't wear deodorant or perfume. Pheromonemaxx.
Do whatever you want. One of the key advantages of travel is there is no reputational risk
Don't look up videos or guides or nerd shit. Follow your heart

No, they literally hate tourists. Japanese people are tired of their peaceful little post-work oases being invaded by morbidly obese Americafags covered in tattoos wearing Disney ears ruining their spaces. If you come to Japan, please limit yourself to Ichiran ramen, the Pokemon center, and universal studios. You’re not wanted anywhere else.

>japanese only hate chinese!!! not whites!!!!!!!
cope, but chinks aren't even visiting Japan anymore due to diplomatic bullshit. All the stuff people complain about on the news, social media, and real life are whites and jiggaboos. Mostly whites since they're the ones doing pull ups on shrine gates and inside trains and doing nigtok dances every fucking where they go.
>>
>>2885694
I was not saying that they do not dislike tourists, just that they most definitely hate the otaku pedo permanent residents more.
It doesn't matter to me either way, I'm not so enamoured by tranime and Jap culture that I have a desperate urge to visit. I would probably only go there if I was invited by a local.

Redditspacing has a way of outing itself.
Jeets cause problems but there's 100x more whites than jeets. And jeets can't do a pullup, so there's zero possibility of them doing pullups on shrine gates. But keep coping that people love you. Nobody wants you and your redditfingers.

why are you speaking with authority on the matter while admitting you have no experience with the matter? I've been living in Japan for close to a decade, and I can state with certainty that post-covid, attitudes towards tourists took a sharp turn for the negative. Pre-covid, I don't think anyone gave it much thought, there were never really enough tourists to be a nuisance and they were more of a curiosity. Now they're a plague and a menace to local institutions and peaceful living.

Because it's human nature to be repulsed by the idea of strangers from a strange land living in your land permanently? Only mind broken westerners feel otherwise.
>I've been living in Japan for close to a decade, and I can state with certainty that post-covid, attitudes towards tourists took a sharp turn for the negative.
But I didn't disagree with any of that.

You’re right, I don’t think they do. I speak the language. I’m a member of my community. I’m married to a Japanese woman and soon we will have little half Japanese kids going to Japanese school. I’m 100% not in the same group of people who come to Japan to treat it like a theme park and eat tamago sandos and buy Pokemon merch

It’s not like they’re marrying their Japanese women. And unlike gooks Japanese people don’t seem to be territorial over their women. I’m just doing my part to keep glorious nippon populated, and creating the hapa master race

Anon dont listen to any person telling you not to visit Japan. Japan was my first travel destination and it was the single greatest decision of my life. I have since been back 4 times, for about a total of six months spent in Japan. I've also since been to Europe, mostly in Italy for 2 months, and Hong Kong twice for about a month and Japan has been the most hospitable and easy to travel by far. I have not seen absolute kindness and generosity as a traveler anywhere but Japan.
Pic Rel (terrible censoring I know but Im not going to dox them) I met a young man on the Shinkansen, 2 years younger than me. We became friends and he invited me to his house. We had a cook off battle where we both made pasta dishes and his family judged them. I had to defend my honor as an Italian chef when he said he makes better pasta. I had only spent three weeks in Japan when I met him. Oh and before we made dinner, I was backstage at an all girls band performance, as his family was part of the teaching staff, and I was telling a bunch of high school QTs "otsukare".
These losers below, they will never have a Real Travelers (TM) experience like this and are projecting onto you their misery. Please go to Japan.

All of you should be perma banned from /trv/ for being waste of oxygen losers. You are projecting your own insecurities on all tourists. You think all Japanese hate tourists because you look in the mirror and see the tourists they actually do hate. You all are incapable of understanding human emotion and thus think every act of kindness and courtesy is forced. You are simply unable to tell. So you assume everything is fake because it must be!

And here, my first visit to Japan, I was messing around taking pictures in a park that Clannad used as one their locations in the anime. An older Japanese couple approached me and was excited that I was using a film camera. We talked a bit in broken english and I explained to them I was visiting an anime location and then I offered to take a picture and send it to them. To this day one of the best pictures Ive ever taken on film. I still have a standing offer to visit their house for tea as thanks.
You dont need to speak any Japanes at all other than; Yes, No, Thank You, This One, That one, one of those. Thats it. This is 90% of the communication you need.
It makes no sense to tell people to travel elsewhere first anyways. You arent going to learn anything in London that would "prepare you" to visit Japan. Japan is traveling for toddlers. Its traveling on easy mode. Every train station, every airport, every major store, everything is in English already. Japanese boomers still worship America. So if youre white they will like you.
I have countless other stories and experience I had in Japan that have not been matched anywhere else Ive traveled. These losers >>2885362 >>2885373 >>2885428 >>2885422, are just brown and jealous or social rejects and jealous. Japan is the PERFECT trip for first time travelers

It's like some kind of autistic gatekeeper personality type.
I've encountered a lot of people like this on the archlinux forums desu and a fair few on various 4chan boards.
Now that I think about it, it's usually in threads about some autism adjacent topic where I see this archetype the most, so it makes sense why there are so many of them here.

The overtourism in Japan is already destroying the ability to have these kinds of spontaneous encounters with Japanese people. You're no longer a curiosity or a rarity, you're just part of a flood of millions of foreigners inundating Japanese infrastructure, neighborhoods, and lifestyles.
>>2885977
The only value you people bring to Japan is the contents of your wallet. Japan should start charging $1000 for tourist visas, and I fully support price gouging tourists and discriminatory business practices barring tourists from most places. It's not like you guys do anything but come here to eat konbini food and buy plastic pokemon garbage anyways.
Imagine you're the proprietor of a small local ramen shop. For twenty years you've been serving your community, you have a solid group of regular customers (who are all neighbors), you've watched some of them grow from children to adults. All of a sudden, due to factors outside of your control, your neighborhood becomes inundated by foreign tourists. Some dumb tattooed-up white bitch holding a fuzzy mic in her long-ass nails makes an instagram video about "ohmigawd you guys, you just HAVE to try this hidden local gem restaurant I found next to my airbnb." All of a sudden all of your regular customers are gone, they don't want to contend with the line of backpack-wearing western clowns queuing in front of your restaurant every day. These customers have no idea what they're doing, they don't know how to read the menu or what you sell. They demand english translations or handholding. They make bizarre requests "uhm excuse me, actually I'm allergic to shellfish anuses, can you just do differently everything you've been doing for 20 years?"
You might think the business owner should be grateful for this brief popularity, but it's fleeting. His regular customers are already gone, they don't want to contend with the tourists either.
>>
>>2885985
The tourists dry up in a few months as the social media cycle churns and some other poor business gets identified as the next "omg u guys hidden gem alert" spot. The owner is exasperated, his business never recovers, and he decides to close up shop. All his neighbors have been replaced with stands selling matcha lattes and labubu dolls and dubai chocolate ice cream anyways. The neighborhood is no longer a neighborhood, it's all investment properties owned by slumlord Chinese people who rent their flophouses to gringo tourists on airbnb. The tourists are on vacation, they think Japan is a theme park, so they're blasting loud music non stop, they're ignoring the garbage sorting rules, they're smoking on the streets.
Congrats foreign cockroaches, in the span of a year you destroyed an entire neighborhood and community. And like a swarm of locusts, you'll keep looking for the next undiscovered "hidden gem" neighborhood to go destroy next.
So yeah, I am gatekeeping. Please fuck off, Japan is not built for mass tourism, all of you just treat it as anime themepark land anyways, and the locals despise your presence.

There is definitely some truth to that. The invention of synthesized fertilizer was perhaps humanities greatest mistake. There are more Indians in India today that there were people on Earth in 1900. Wrap your head around that for a second.
Not even 50 years ago you could climb the Pyramids in Egypt or the Mayan temples in South America. Now they shoot you on sight for doing it. There were little to no regulations on where you could camp in various national parks in the US and so on and so forth.
When I was in Italy, I was doing an internship at a small architecture studio, the owner was giving me a tour of some small town built in a caldera, and he was explaining how as kids they used to climb around in there, and some family died from toxic gasses. Now its fenced off.
The world is just a different place these days. The Nanny State doesnt allow individuals to assume risk and responsibility for their own safety. Everything is fenced off, everything has 10 thousand rules and regulations, you cant do this you cant go there. There are just too many fucking soulless brown "people". Truly connecting with a place as a traveler is definitely harder but it isnt impossible. All of my Japan trips have been from 2023 to 2025, the boomers on the japan travel general would say its over and charm is gone, good old days are gone etc, but if you make an effort to be an interesting person, youll be rewarded with amazing experiences.

Marco Polo here came to Japan a couple times and bought some "muh heckin authentic japanese archery experience" on tripadvisor and now speaks from a position of authority on the entirety of Japan, while proudly proclaiming he only needs to know 5 words in Japanese to navigate Japanese society.
It's nothing personal against any specific individual, but no one raindrop thinks it's responsible for the flood. I was never bothered by foreign visitors in Japan, it's only the post-covid cheap yen *mass tourism* phenomenon that is rapidly and drastically changing the fabric of Japanese society.
Tourists stopped being "travelers" and now it's just a commoditized social-media checklist item that literally every single person in the west is doing now. I'm getting three messages a week from distant acquaintances in the US telling me they're so excited for their upcoming Japan trip and asking me for "hidden gems." I'm sure you're different, anon, but the vast majority of people visiting Japan now are not doing it to explore Japanese culture, it's just a meme and they can get some good instagram photos to make their friends jealous with.

Every time I leave my house now, I see adult westerners walking around wearing fuzzy pokemon onesies, because hahaha Japan is just so random and wacky amirite? Can't even walk through Shibuya anymore, it's all livestreamers and bozos walking around with selfie sticks. How did a normal ass intersection become such a tourist mecca? A few years ago the shibuya car meets were a cool way to meet car enthusiasts, now they're all just touts for businesses selling people expensive rides in a JDM car. I'm experiencing a lot more arms-crossed "japanese only" refusals when trying to enter businesses than I ever did. Most of them will let me in once I speak Japanese to them; it's not a racism thing it's an anti-tourist thing.

Some anons going to Japan are the turbo-stupid edition of autist with absolutely no social sense at all. That's why they feel so hated, because they don't give a fuck about social etiquette. They'll walk up to a group of guys talking to each other and say "excuse me" loudly because they want help.
>The Japanese are so hostile, they must really hate foreigners
No, dumbass. You rudely interrupted their conversation by demanding priority attention. So of course they will be very cold and unhelpful to you.
The rest of us learn to read body language when traveling in a country with a language barrier. You pick up so much by observing your surroundings and watching other people interact. A foreigner who speaks only a few words of Japanese, takes up only a single seat, and otherwise creates hardly any stir won't be welcomed per se, but he will be politely tolerated.
People who go to Japan simply need to have higher expectations for their own behavior than people who go to other countries, where social etiquette is less refined.

And absolutely none of it is organic. All of their sudden impulses to go to Japan came from advertising that the Japanese government put out. The government wants millions of retards with selfie sticks buying overpriced onigiri and paying thousands of dollars to take pictures of nothing because it's free money. And by taking the pictures and uploading to Insta they are advertising Japan for free.

Japan is lovely, don't listen to the discouragement from this board. There's a weird amount of gatekeeping driven by people who want to think their travels to the country are something to be fawned at as 'exclusive' when Japan has opened up to everyone over the past few years.
I'm assuming you would visit both as separate trips.
Check what powerbanks you are allowed to bring to each country, you should be fine for those two but its another thing that's worth a check and yes I would advise one for the UK (it can be surprisingly hard to find a wall socket here). I wouldn't bother with food tours, certainly not for UK, Japan it can make some sense if you feel scared of interacting with locals - but that's something you more-or-less power through without having to pay the tourist tax.
Get universal plug adaptor thing.
Concise country-specific advice:
UK:
- Public transport costs a lot, book everything online in advance, it won't help much but you'll save a few quid.
- Fish and chips no good in south, Yorkshire coast good.
- Try carvery
- London easiest public trans, cheap trip southend good.
- No birmingham, no manchester, plz no ;__;
- Go to Oxford if want cool city.
- Go to Richmond if you are in London but want greenery.
- Camden and Borough market are scams.
- Free museums, Hunterian best, all other book in advance
- All restaurants book in advance or waitress pee panties
- No cheap accommodation outside London rly, prices stupid high. Travelodge, Premier Inn etc. can't be found on sites like Booking.
Japan
- Cheap drinks machines, even in airports, even train stations
- Everything cheap once in
- Anime/ manga goods all 1/10th of western price, easy make money back if you weeaboo
- Typical trip Tokyo -> Osaka/ Kyoto
- All Japanese cities same, just different scale.
- Most castles reconstruction no history, many earthquake, much war.
- Not much history (China better for that)
- Arcades good
- Bomb scare, everyone autistic
- Inns (Ryokans) cheap.

Nah, take it from someone who lived there the Cotswolds is naff. All the villages are rammed with international tourists to the point where just going to a village down the A40 was fucking stressful. Places like Bourton-on-Water, Bibury, Stow etc. annoy me because of the self defeating nature of visiting them - you go to see picturesque >>quiant<< villages and wind up in tiny villages with more tourists than most cities... any beauty you might see (when the tourists hordes aren't in the way) is ruined by these places being nothing but STRESS.... the Bibury trout farm was pretty rad tbf.

Oh come the fuck on. We all know that everyone ranting about tourism SPECIFICALLY chooses to stay right where every other tourist is staying, because they are mindless hivecattle, and then complains that there are too many tourists and they don't feel special.
Go to Japan. Go somewhere small. Spend more time listening than talking, more time observing than interacting. Be an autist, but not the retarded blurting type. Blend in with the scenery. Some people will be chilly, but others will invariably treat you kindly. I'd go to Japan if I had wads of free money laying around, but I have to work so hard for my money that only cheap countries are acceptable as tourist destinations for me. I want $16 USD per night to be the top-tier luxury room option in the nicest hotels (like it is here in Nepal).

I'm not even the anon you are attacking, dumbass. I have never been to Japan, but I have been to Taiwan, and have realized that the higher a country's IQ is, the more picky and quirky they are when dealing with foreigners. Currently in Nepal where half the people are quite literally dumb as rocks, but everyone is always friendly and helpful. It's a balance you have to strike.

You can stay in Japan for very little money or free if you do the 88 temple pilgrimage. There are temples and shit you can sleep in along the way. When I did it I was mostly nocturnal and spent the day sleeping in onsen for like $4. Then at night time just walking
