I am the US CPA who does US tax returns for Americans in Japan, based in Narita when I am not in Pennsylvania. A money progressive, I am also disappointed how things are now. Want to build Bluesky? Stop posting over there!
It gets me recognition only. It's the "Million Miler Program", but you really need to do a full 1,000,000 miles with ANA to get a nice bennie besides the luggage tag.

I think the perpetrators are operating in Tokyo and around the main Kantou towns. Sticking their crap in Narita guarantees visibility with the tens of thousands of tourists who visit the Omotesando.

Colin, it depends where. In some places, it's wayy more than what had been before. "Real Rural Japan" (Steven Cunningham) says it's not a problem at all---but he lives in rural Nagano. And, yes, doesn't look like a problem there. hoofin.wordpress.com/2025/10/28/m...

You are talking about Alyssa's adding the X's into the thumbnail? A lot of people are hanging on that as criticism. Since it's a thumbnail, I don't think it changes very much about the actual vandalism and the fact that it's a lot worse than three years ago. Just my opinion.
