Some argue travel, whether domestic or overseas, is a waste of money and often driven by a need to show off rather than true enjoyment.

People who say it’s not fun are just saying it to get the upper hand.

I want people to say that traveling abroad is great.

It’s because Ichi is a kappe. Tokyo residents can refresh themselves just by going to roadside stations and open-air hot springs in the countryside.

Because of the preferential treatment policy for foreigners in the so-called inbound tourism industry, everywhere is super crowded, so I haven’t been to Kyoto at all. I used to be able to stay at a place with an acceptable accommodation cost of around 10,000 yen, but now it’s tens of thousands of yen, is that stupid?

I travel domestically to see friends so it doesn’t feel like a waste at all.

It’s a country that favors foreigners over Japanese people, and Japanese people just work like ants for the foreigners.

Even within Japan, going to places like Okinawa and Hokkaido gives you a foreign feeling and is fun.

Same food every day

Same job every day
Same TV (videos) every day
It’s a matter of whether you think this is happiness or unhappiness
It’s not a matter of which is right.

If you’re going out of obligation, then yes. You need to have some motivation, like “I have to go somewhere because it’s Golden Week” or “I want to go here!!”

I’m just someone who doesn’t enjoy traveling, but there are plenty of people out there who do enjoy it. They eat local delicacies, soak in hot springs, visit historical buildings, enjoy magnificent scenery, and there are ways to travel without spending a lot of money.

Living in a tranquil place with a beautiful view is the best because it makes you feel like you’re traveling every day. I would be happy if I could live near the Goto Islands in Kyushu and go fishing every day.

Something like Itchi is a serious mental illness.

Recreational travel is fine, but visiting tourist attractions isn’t fun.

You’ve probably never seen the ruins of ancient Rome, have you?
Tours of famous places include things like that.

Knowing things you don’t know, seeing things you’ve never seen before. Experiencing things, not knowledge. This is what we call learning. When you stop learning, your growth stops there.

If you don’t experience traveling, like diving in Okinawa or skiing in Hokkaido, it will end up being a waste of money.

It’s not the kind of hobby that poor people in spirit can enjoy, so it can’t be helped. If you keep talking about cost-effectiveness, you’ll never get to experience this.

There was a hikikomori who took a bus to Sendai, stayed at an internet cafe, ate only ramen, and went home. It was just a waste.

You can see the whole view of famous tourist spots around the world with beautiful drone footage. It would be nice to actually go and feel the atmosphere, but in reality, overtourism often ruins the atmosphere.

Being satisfied with just the video is like saying “I don’t need to actually have sex if I just watch AV.”

Boss: “Wai-kun, tell me something interesting.”
Wai: “I went on a trip the other day, and I did this and that.”
This is useful in situations like this.
