November 22nd is “Good Couple Day.” The results of a private survey have revealed that approximately 70% of people who went on honeymoons within a year of getting married went to domestic destinations, and the company that conducted the survey analyzed that this could be due to the weak yen, which has led to domestic honeymoons becoming the norm. Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance, a major life insurance company, has been conducting a survey on couples to coincide with November 22nd since 2006, and this year’s survey, conducted last month, received responses from approximately 1,600 people nationwide aged between their 20s and 70s. Of these, in a survey asking couples who had been married for less than a year if they had gone on a honeymoon, ▽38.3% answered “no,” ▽43.6% answered “domestic travel,” ▽18.1% answered “overseas travel.” Continue reading on NHK 2024/11/22 10:18.
>>1 The current high prices in Japan are due to high prices overseas, not rising prices in Japan. According to IMF statistics, as of 2024, prices in the US will rise by 17.7% compared to 2020, but in Japan they will only rise by 5.6%. The rise in prices in Japan is caused by rising prices overseas, so by suppressing employee wages, they are preventing the rise in prices overseas from being reflected in sales prices and responding to deflationary domestic demand. What Japan needs is not an end to the weak yen, but an end to deflation.
I went all the way to Europe, but if I was going to spend the same amount of time and money, I think it would be better to spend it on Ishigaki Island or Kohama Island.
Well, love and marriage are cultures that were created through brainwashing. Events like weddings and honeymoons are like eating KFC on Christmas. There will come a day when we look back and think it was stupid.
People these days really don’t have any aspirations to go abroad. Japan has such good public safety that even if you lose your wallet it will be returned to you, the scenery is beautiful, and the food is delicious. Japan is truly a wonderful place. I honestly wonder why I have to pay a lot of money to go to a dangerous place overseas where I can’t speak the language.
If it’s not Hawaii or somewhere like that, I think you could go overseas, like Southeast Asia. Is there really that much of a difference between that and Japan?
I went to Hawaii and it was so much fun that I’ve been going there every year since. In the past, a couple could go to Hawaii for 300,000 yen, but this year it cost 600,000 yen.
The LDP said in the election that they would continue easing, which meant a weaker yen and higher prices. And yet, since you elected the LDP, you have no right to complain about a weaker yen and higher prices.
