Foreign Tourists Embrace Expensive Dining in Japan Amid Weak Yen

Foreign tourists are flocking to Japan to enjoy pricey dishes thanks to the weak yen. Despite criticism from locals, visitors like Orr Israeli Dayan and Omer Dayan from Israel find the costs reasonable compared to their home country. The opening of Toyosu Senkyaku Banrai in Tokyo’s waterfront has introduced expensive menu items, attracting foreign tourists like Poh Meng Quek from Singapore who appreciate the opportunity to savor fresh and delicious fish at a reasonable price. Japan’s appeal to foreign travelers is evident in the record-high number of visitors in March and increased travel spending, boosting the tourism industry and economy.
