For most of the past six months, the influx of foreign tourists into Japan has hardly stopped!
Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Hokkaido... It can be said that Japan is full of foreign tourists who come to visit.

Of course, it's hard to come out and play once, of course, you can't go back to the hotel empty-handed!
Therefore, most foreign tourists carry large bags and small bags, giving people the posture of buying Japan short.

However, looking at the crazy buying and buying of tourists, many Japanese merchants said: there are hundreds of millions of worries, can't laugh...
"What's wrong with that?"
At the end of April, a netizen who was familiar with the owner of a second-hand game store posted a complaint about the current situation.
"Due to the influence of foreign tourists, the inventory of a nostalgic game specialty store is drastically decreasing? The clerk said a little worried: Until last autumn or so, the inventory was relatively abundant, but now it seems to have been greatly reduced? If this continues, foreigners will continue to buy frantically regardless of the rising price, and the inventory will be emptied, right?" ▽
It turned out that the promoter was a nostalgic game collector.
Recently, when he was chatting with the owner of the game shop he knew, he learned that the inventory of many second-hand game stores was about to be swept away by foreign tourists...
However, many netizens saw this and issued the same doubts as the editor: Is it not good for the product to be sold?
"It's a good thing, it's not bad." ▽
"What's wrong with that?" ▽
"There's nothing to worry about, is there? (* ́・ω・') Weren't ancient Imari, ukiyo-e, Satsuma yaki, knives, Buddha statues, etc. bought overseas and bought back by the Japanese? It is precisely because many Japanese do not think they are really valuable that they are bought at a low price. ”▽
"If it's a resale, it's another matter, since it can be sold at a price acceptable to the person who wants it, isn't it a good thing?" ▽
"I don't understand what's so bad about it. What's wrong with foreigners buying it? Can I buy it for people who have become Japanese nationals? Can only foreigners living in Japan buy it? Although I am also angry about the scalpers who resell, it has nothing to do with nationality. ”▽
"I don't understand what worries me, I hope someone in the know can explain that if it's national land or something, it's just game software." For the store, aren't the customers who smile and buy high-priced software that they usually can't sell at all? (laughs)"
Later, some netizens who knew the inside story came forward to explain:
"Because once you go overseas, you will never flow back to Japan..."
"If you take them abroad, it will be difficult to return to Japan, so the nostalgic game store will also close." And software such as Merukari (a Japanese second-hand platform) has also allowed things to flow overseas."
"It's nice to have fans, but it's also a nuisance... This will lead to inventory depletion and skyrocketing prices in the nostalgic game market with limited supply"▽
It turns out that these people are worried that these nostalgic games will no longer circulate in the Japanese market after they are bought by foreign tourists, and there will be an imbalance between supply and demand for a long time...
However, there are still many netizens who do not understand the concerns of the pusher.
"Since it is something that is put out for sale, it is gone." If you are sad about this, then you can buy it."
"Foreigners discover the value of Japanese nostalgic games and come to distant Japan to buy them. This is not to say that the number of Japanese game lovers in the world is increasing, which is a good thing. The Japanese also pay higher prices or go overseas to buy them, so that they can be on par with those enthusiasts. I'm excited that the game will become the universal language. ”▽
"If you don't want to be sold, don't put it out for sale; If you don't want something to be bought by someone else, then you buy it first. A bystander who does nothing is not qualified to say anything. ”▽
"If only you couldn't buy what you wanted. It is obviously 'inventory', so the money you don't spend is paid by foreigners. For the store, it is not you who needs to be thanked, but foreign customers. ”▽
"What's wrong with that? Some stores can't sell and inventory is piling up, while others sell well and make high profits. It's clear which of the two sides is better, but I still think it's better not to sell? It's also too selfish. It's also too strange to think that the things you pursue are good (you don't care about the profits in the store, and you hope that you can't sell them all the time) and that the things you don't pursue are bad things (the product is bought by others). ”▽
Indeed, most tourists should not have so many ideas, just want to play a game...
