According to Hong Kong media outlet South China Morning Post, a skewer restaurant in Osaka, Japan, is at the door 'Manner does not accept bad Chinese customers. I ask for your understanding, and I have attached a notice in Chinese.
It is not known why the restaurant posted such a message. In response to the post, some residents expressed their welcome.
This is not the first time that Japanese restaurants have refused Chinese customers to visit.
In 2023, a Chinese influencer unveiled a restaurant in Tokyo with a Chinese no-go message.
The business added 'To prevent the Chinese virus'
influencer entered the restaurant to argue with the staff and was immediately kicked out.
Another restaurant in Tokyo posted on social media in July last year that it had banned Chinese and Korean customers from entering.
As the news spread, Chinese online posts of disappointment and anger poured out.
Netizens say, `The restaurant that puts up such a note has worse manners than rude customers", It is showing critical responses such as 'cheap to attract guests under the flag of patriotism' and"to consider visiting Japan again.'
On the other hand, "Would he have done that? Don't behave rudely abroad" There were also some self-reflective comments.
In fact, many cases of non-manner of Chinese tourists visiting Japan are known.
Recently, a Chinese influencer who only chooses expensive seafood from a Japanese buffet, two Chinese women lying in the middle of a highway to take pictures in traffic jams, and a Taiwanese female tourist who violently shook Japan's cherry trees for romantic photos have been criticized.
According to Japanese law, it is legal for restaurants to accept only customers who can speak Japanese for linguistic reasons, but discrimination based on the customer's race or nationality violates the Japanese Constitution.
Last year, 36.9 million foreign tourists visited Japan, up 47.1% from the previous year, exceeding 31.9 million in 2019.
South Korean tourists accounted for the largest portion with 23.8 percent, followed by China with 18.9 percent.
Meanwhile, a famous shrine on Japan's Tsushima Island (Kamado Island) recently banned general tourists from entering.
This decision is related to the disorderly behavior of some foreign tourists. In particular, it is known that Korean tourists smoke in non-smoking areas and take the measures due to illegal dumping of garbage in unauthorized parking.
