Gook’s greedy behavior is his selling point (lol).

Will I get the 10,000 yen back?

Will the contents be checked?

Takasugi lol.

By the way, is there anyone planning to go from outside the Kinki region?

49Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 4, 2024 (Wed) 18:44:26.12ID:pLGMzZHC0

No, I don’t even plan on going to Kinki.

8Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 4, 2024 (Wed) 18:39:52.38ID:31laOoHh0

The plan is not to bring it in the first place.

9Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 4, 2024 (Wed) 18:39:58.53ID:uEY37Izy0

There may be coin lockers for storing 10,000 yen bills.

They’ll make it like a pachinko sandwich.

They said they would introduce a completely cashless system, so they would make people use electronic money called Myakupe!

Rip-off.

11Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 4, 2024 (Wed) 18:40:17.13ID:yPAoA/Cx0

It’s too expensive haha.

12Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 4, 2024 (Wed) 18:40:25.07ID:b9m1a85/0

Rip-off Expo.

13Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 4, 2024 (Wed) 18:40:25.86ID:/eeaAgNC0

This will only increase the number of people who walk around pulling rattles without checking their carry-on bags.

Large items are not allowed inside the venue.

14Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 4, 2024 (Wed) 18:40:31.50ID:n1lCR8Go0

Even at Heathrow it’s under £4.

15Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 4, 2024 (Wed) 18:40:32.21ID:+MdPSO660

It seems like the price is like a penalty because it would be inconvenient if you were to carry a suitcase on the shuttle bus or subway.

16Security Guard [lv.6] [Sprout].Dec. 4, 2024 (Wed) 18:40:32.75ID:FwDZwmI90

There’s no way they’ll get their luggage back. This idea completely ruins the idea of our Chinese friends leaving their huge luggage at the hotel and having fun without stopping there.

I think it would be better to worry about whether people will come rather than worrying about that.

If you have the time, you can get a part-time job as a luggage storage attendant.

23Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 4, 2024 (Wed) 18:41:24.76ID:HdPXknWP0

It’s already ruined before it even starts. They should just cancel it.

The Tokyo Olympics and the Osaka Expo are events that make me feel like Japan is awesome.

24Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 4, 2024 (Wed) 18:41:35.44ID:9eALNnys0

Let’s do some luggage storage nearby for 5,000 yen lol.

Everyone thinks that way.

There’s no neighborhood.

26Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 4, 2024 (Wed) 18:42:00.97ID:AN3MTZIE0

It’s a struggle just to carry our luggage there.

29Security Guard [lv.1] [Sprout].Dec. 4, 2024 (Wed) 18:42:06.67ID:AA0NvTXi0

I’m thinking of starting a business where I accept luggage at the temple for 5,000 yen.

30Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 4, 2024 (Wed) 18:42:09.18ID:ia1sOaQ70

A move that means you don’t have to come as long as you drop the money.

31Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 4, 2024 (Wed) 18:42:21.45ID:GsnsL3Mv0

That’s too expensive. You could buy an F1 lunch box for that.

34Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 4, 2024 (Wed) 18:42:30.55ID:jzDhutL60

Well, normally even if you have luggage for hunting you’d leave it at the hotel.

Unless you’re staying at the same inn for consecutive nights, it’s difficult to go there in light clothing from the morning.
If you explain the situation, they might be able to look after your luggage.
Or, if you’re on a group bus tour, you can leave your large luggage on the bus, so that should be okay.

35Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 4, 2024 (Wed) 18:42:41.02ID:O4GmQ79m0

It looks like foreigners are lining up their HiAce vans in the parking lot to store their luggage.

37Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 4, 2024 (Wed) 18:42:53.38ID:Px8WzL9J0

Well, there are no customers coming in the first place, so it’s not a problem.

38Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 4, 2024 (Wed) 18:43:15.99ID:SNT71JO70

It seems likely that the plan will be withdrawn due to a flood of protests.

39Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 4, 2024 (Wed) 18:43:21.42ID:0Hm+aJ4h0

In Nishinari, it costs around 100 yen.

43Anonymous Donburako.Dec. 4, 2024 (Wed) 18:43:48.11ID:YxeWuv7f0

I guess for foreign tourists, 10,000 yen feels like just one coin.

What is the maximum size of a large vehicle? Is it about one car?
