The 臨海 park train enters the conversation

Mmm. Japan, collectively, has a modal share well above half the cities in the “top 30”. Individual cities would rank still higher. Yet not a single city included. Personally I shall boycott Little Mermaid bakeries until the Copenhagen list is properly global. 🚴

What setting should I use to safely clean my gold leaf Ohtani in the human washing machine?

This is not a great argument because average stay by foreigners is only 6 days (JNTO). In other words you need to divide tourist numbers by 365/6 or about 61. Reported crime by Japanese is low and crime by foreign residents is possibly a bit higher but still very low. We are not a threat.

My understanding is that the foreigner figure excludes immigration violations. Taking out children from the Japanese population numbers brings the ratio closer to 1.5.
