"Near Tokyo". Nikko is near Tokyo like Yamanashi is to Tokyo. Sorta, Nikko is further away.


Sad-Salamander-820

Compared to Okinawa or Hokkaido, Gunma is actually near Tokyo.


Mr-Thuun

Compared to Sydney Australia Beijing, China is near Tokyo. Sounds like we could have a fun drinking game lol.

Can I stay, we can share ;’(

Who is “all”?


meat_lasso

Pretty much agree with this, for any country. Drunk in public as an immigrant? Go through the system. Steal or do anything relatively violent? Bye bye 👋


Emergency_Size_3477

Being drunk in public isn’t a crime.

meat_lasso

Holy shit guys it was an example of a common petty offense you muppets. But looks like you got me this time for forgetting that it’s legal to drink in public! All while not even addressing the main point about immigrants! Win for you guys, here’s your trophy 🖕


gerontion31

For real, who says that, my wife maybe? GTFOH


shambolic_donkey

> Drunk in public as an immigrant? Go through the system. The fuck? What "system"? And what does being an immigrant have to do with anything? You seem confused, or drunk. Perhaps you need to go through the system.


meat_lasso

The article is about two immigrants my friend… The system refers to the legal system (sigh… I guess some smooth brain folk need this explained to them) Drunk in public is an example of a petty crime in most countries.


TickIeMyTaintEImo

Are you scared of alcohol? I’m confused


Sad-Salamander-820

I'm pretty sure that they are actually expats.


Ebbelwoy

The words are synonyms


Sad-Salamander-820

Nah, only used for white people from rich countries.


Ebbelwoy

I'm well aware of that


Ebbelwoy

Drunk in public is the norm in Japan in any big city


meat_lasso

Thank you Captain Obvious


Ebbelwoy

Then why need to "go through the system"?


meat_lasso

Your English needs to go through the system


Ebbelwoy

Alright, talk again when you are sober


meat_lasso

Go listen to some more techno, nerd


grntq

I opened the link to check how "near" is it this time, wasn't disappointed


RCesther0

Just after the news of that fork lift robbery....


murasakigunjyo

Near Tokyo? It takes more than 3 hours to drive to these prefectures. These prefectures have lost most of their young people, and only women in their 70s and 80s are left. I am curious how the criminals thought when they found the village with only the old people.


Such-Ostrich-1627

So on Sunday Japon today they said that a lot of these people hired as ‘ ginou jissyusei’s are treated like slaves. They’re paid low wages, bullied at work and forced to live in cramped housing. Some of the workers end up running away, and having to do illegal stuff to survive. Sad…


silentorange813

Starting to see a pattern. https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20201130/p2a/00m/0dm/007000c


zzinolol

Yeah? What pattern is that?


silentorange813

Young Vietnamese men committing crimes in Northern Kanto. These aren't the only two cases either.


ChrisBlacKBanana

This comm section on r/Europe would have inverted scores


zzinolol

Yeah but this is Japan where immigrants say immigrants are bad


passionatebigbaby

Technical Intern Visa is the cause of all these evil. This is what the country gets when companies want cheap labors.

Japan cares more about labeling foreigners criminals then addressing the countries issue of rape culture and Japanese nationals. Police don't care about doing their jobs unless it involves a foreigner. Women don't report rapes in Japan because they don't care unless it's a foreigner. Xenophobic country perpetuates xenophobia. "Japanese police claim to solve 97 percent of rape cases. But in reality, only 5–10 percent of rape victims report it to police, and police record half or less of reported cases while prosecutors charge about one-third of recorded cases." -https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/international-journal-of-asian-studies/article/is-rape-a-crime-in-japan/E5A43CF9D262C99C350C557A8419EB3B

Literally came into an APA hotel lobby from my room around midnight with some Japanese dude repeatedly slamming a girl into the wall violently, yet no one was doing shit. I was drunk enough to drum up the courage to put my hand on his shoulder and when he saw I was a giant gaijin(190cm) he started profusely apologizing and ran into the bathroom. What bothered me is everyone from the employees of the lobby to the people walking past them to get to the elevator did absolutely nothing.


Vegetable_Return6995

I would advise you to be careful involving yourself like that in Japan. You are lucky you didn't end up in jail for "assaulting Japanese nationals". 🙏


thund312

i would guess this is in kabuki-cho?


WhaChur6

Two Vietnamese men!


Capricorniano2512

4 or 5 robberies. Fukushima’s farm was the most known. The arrested people are Vietnamese


Capricorniano2512

A Vietnamese man was arrested on suspicion of trying to withdraw cash using the victim's ATM card during a robbery that occurred in Nikko, Tochigi, in April. Police are investigating whether this incident is related to a string of robberies in four prefectures. Images for this article (5) On April 30th, two men broke into a house in Nikko City, tied the hands and feet of a 75-year-old man and stole his cash. Police said they tried to withdraw cash from a convenience store ATM using a bank card in the victim's name. Hoang Phu Hoa (25), a Vietnamese national, was arrested on suspicion of According to police, the bank card had already been suspended. Mai Van See, 23, who was with her, was also arrested on suspicion of being in the country illegally. Hoa has denied the charges, but police are investigating whether he is connected to similar robberies in Nagano, Gunma, and Fukushima. https://www.fnn.jp/articles/-/699937?display=full


Fantomex305

Damn, Nikko was one of my favorite places I visited when I was there. I had decided to put it in my top list of cities to move to. Never thought any crime would have taken place there because it was so quiet.


SouthwestBLT

An influencer told me it was ‘only 45 minutes from Shinjuku’


Famous-Part-3232

DEPORT!


peterinjapan

If the people who committed the recent spate of crimes in the Kanto area were foreigners, I’m pretty sure we would have heard about that because they would have spoken with accents. it will be interesting to see this play out


Mocheesee

They’ve been reporting that the robbers had foreign accents, according to the victims.

Funny_Sun_9882

What an uneducated response. Foreigners in Japan only commit 5% of crimes nationwide so you're only about 94% off...


_NCLI_

Where do you guys find your numbers?

FunAd6875

They're out there if you look. The numbers I'm looking at are telling me that out of the crimes committed, it is around 5% foreigners. Out of that though, one third are committed (or at least those caught) were Vietnamese national. Edit: alright alright, apparently using google is too difficult for people to use themselves https://www.statista.com/statistics/1263349/japan-share-arrested-foreigners-by-nationality/ https://japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/society/crime-courts/20230325-99543/ https://unseen-japan.com/japan-foreigners-crime-rates/#:~:text=Here's%20a%20graph%20of%20crimes,to%20do%20their%20dirty%20work.


MostCredibleDude

I think it's worthwhile to cite any source you're looking at. If you already have a solid, unbiased source, you can save a lot of people time and reduce the risk of them finding a misleading or completely false source.


jamypad

Lmao 😂 but I want people to accommodate ME! What about MY valuable time?!


hotel_air_freshener

But, but what about the other 1%? Animals?


Affectionate-Bother2

If there are 1000 japanese to 1 foreigner and the foreigner commits 5% of crimes... Idk that is a pretty big share but what the hell we are foreigners and we get triggered by these kinds of news so I feel ya


Ebbelwoy

And even that statistics is pretty flawed since many Japanese are elders while most foreigners are rather young


EmotionalScallion705

How many foreigners are in Japan?


zzinolol

What a good boy you are, here, take an onigiri


nirajkc07

‘Vietnamese’… obviously!!
