Original: Want to avoid that annoying tourist label in Japan? One long-term foreign resident has all the answers. https://www. jap
A long-term foreign resident of Japan has written a piece in The Japan Times offering advice on how to avoid being lumped in with tourists as the country grapples with overtourism. The author argues that foreign residents increasingly face unfair assumptions and offers practical tips for distinguishing themselves. The piece reflects growing frustration among expats as record visitor numbers strain daily life and local perceptions of foreigners.
Why now: Overtourism in Japan is a hot topic and the article speaks to expats tired of being conflated with tourists.
