【海外の反応】韓国「台湾は日本に騙されている…」台湾人女性が日本と韓国の評判を調査した結果w【日本のあれこれ】

Why? Why is there such a big difference between Japan and Korea? Good work, everyone. I'm Ayame, your host. I know this is sudden, but have you ever traveled abroad? According to a survey conducted by Smart Answer, about 40% of people who have traveled abroad are in their 20s, and as they age, the percentage increases, and more than 70% of people in their 50s have traveled abroad. When you decide to travel abroad, the most important thing is where you're going. The main character of this episode is a Taiwanese woman. She plans to travel abroad with her friend, and as a result, she decides to go to Japan, but another friend recommends Korea. So, she decides to do a lot of research about Japan and Korea. Let's start with the Taiwanese woman's episode. This is the result of the Taiwanese woman's research about Japan and Korea. Hello, I'm Meili. I'm Taiwanese. This time, I'm going to travel abroad with my high school friend, Rifa. We decided to go to Japan as a result of discussing the destination of our trip at the university cafeteria. However, another friend who was listening to the story next to me said something like this. It's okay to go to Japan, but my recommendation is Korea. Then, Rifa replied to her like this. Do you recommend Korea? My parents have been to Korea before, but they say they don't want to go to Korea again. Why? Did something bad happen in Korea? I was surprised to hear Rifa's sudden remark. Then, Rifa told me why her parents didn't want to go to Korea. The number one reason was that they couldn't feel the charm of Korean architecture. Rifa's parents like to travel abroad and have been to China and Japan, but they felt that Korea was inferior to Chinese historical buildings and Japanese sophisticated buildings. In addition, Japanese people are kind to foreign tourists, so it's better to go to Japan than to go to Korea. I see. Rifa's parents have been to both Korea and Japan, so I think we should go to Japan instead of Korea. But why is there such a big difference between the two countries? I was curious, so I decided to do a little research about the difference between Korea and Japan. The first thing I found out was that the rate of returnees of foreign tourists is completely different between Korea and Japan. It's a little old data from 2017, but the number of foreign visitors to Korea is about 17 million, while the number of foreign visitors to Japan is about 24 million. In other words, there is a difference of 7 million. If you look at the rate of returnees in each country, Korea is 38.6%, while Japan is 61.6%. In other words, Japan has a much higher rate of returnees. Just by looking at this data, you can feel that Japan is more attractive, right? In addition, SNS posts by Taiwanese female college students were also a hot topic. She visited Seoul, Korea to meet her friend, and based on her experience there, she posted the reason why she would never go to Seoul again. Now I'm going to introduce the reasons for that 10. The first is terrible atmospheric pollution. According to the post, the Taiwanese female college students noticed the seriousness of atmospheric pollution and wanted to go back to Taiwan immediately. On the third day, she thought she would never want to go to Korea again. In Korea, due to atmospheric pollution, it seems that even famous tourist attractions look hazy. The second is that cars are running on the sidewalk. In Korea, when you walk on the sidewalk, a car suddenly appears on the sidewalk. In addition, there are many cars parking on the sidewalk and illegal parking, so I'm worried. The third is that the subway is inconvenient. It seems that the subway in Seoul is so inconvenient that you have to buy a ticket once you enter by mistake. It seems that the subway side is working hard to make it as convenient as possible, but to be honest, it seems that there is still a long way to go. The fourth is that the sidewalk is uneven. In Korea, the sidewalk is often dented, and it seems that it is the worst environment to roll the suitcase. This Taiwanese female college student actually damaged the wheels of the suitcase on the uneven road in Korea. In addition, I want you to forgive me because it is uneven enough to fall even if I walk normally. The fifth is that the city is terribly dirty. It seems that the city of Korea is as dirty as crazy. It seems that the city is full of cigarette butts and potholes. In addition, it seems that everything in the subway is dirty, not just the downtown area. In Taiwan, I saw a dirty scene like that a few decades ago, but not now. The sixth is that there are many hills. In Korea, there are many hills, and it seems that even if you walk on the road, you always go up and down. It may be a good exercise, but the slope on a rainy day is the worst. The seventh is that the voltage of the outlet is different. The voltage varies depending on the country, so it may be unavoidable to some extent if you go on an overseas trip, but it seems that the Taiwanese girls' university students could not use the electronic goods they brought because the voltage was different between Taiwan and Korea. The eighth is that the expressway is not easy to use. In Korea, there is a expressway called KTX, but it is difficult to buy a ticket, there is no free seat, the train car is dirty, and it seems that it is far from comfortable. The ninth is that you often bump into passers-by. Of course, in Taiwan, you don't bump into people at all, but when you walk on the Korean road, you really bump into a lot of people. Also, when you get off the elevator or get on the bus, it is common to split up between people. There is no such thing as people around you taking care of you. And finally, the tenth is that there are few foods that can only be eaten in Korea. There are various foods such as kimchi, tteokbokki, and cold noodles in Korea, but to be honest, these foods can be eaten in Taiwan. So it seems that you don't have to go to Korea to eat Korean delicacies. I see. This Taiwanese female student seems to be dissatisfied with the fact that the city is not well-maintained and the cleanliness is not alive. By the way, there were more than 1,000 comments from Koreans about this post. These are all irrefutable facts. Koreans are also uncomfortable with the heavy environment in Korea. It's true that Seoul is dirty and surprising. Seoul citizens are also frustrated by the complexity of the subway. If I were a foreigner, I wouldn't go sightseeing in Korea. There were many comments that agreed with this post. But on the other hand, Taiwan is in a similar situation, right? Is Taiwan's city so wonderful that you don't want to come to Seoul again? I've been to Taiwan, but there were a lot of bugs and it was unpleasant. Taiwan should only go to Japan, and Japan should continue to be deceived that it is the best. There were also three comments criticizing the post. Of course, no one feels good when their country is criticized. I understand that Koreans are angry at the criticism of Taiwan's female students. But it's terrible to be deceived that Japan is the best. Based on the information I researched, I think Japan is more attractive as a travel destination than Korea. I thought I'd check out some Japanese information. First of all, I searched for countries and regions where there are many repeaters of Japanese travel. The first place was Taiwan. In other words, many Taiwanese who have visited Japan have visited Japan again. It is said that the number of repeaters of Japanese travel in Taiwan is about 3.5 million. In addition, it is said that there are many people who visit Japan three, four, and five times, not once or twice. So why do Taiwanese want to go to Japan so much? It seems to be related to the goodness of Japan's security, the deliciousness of food, and the wonderfulness of hospitality. And the more Japanese people visit Japan, the deeper they will learn about Japan. For example, from the first visit to the third visit, most people visit famous tourist attractions such as Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. After the fourth visit, more and more people visit local cities and try hot springs and hiking. Let's take a look at the survey about what Taiwanese want to eat in Japan. The first place is ramen. For Taiwanese, ramen is a reasonable price and delicious. The second place is tempura, and the third place is sushi. Also, when I looked at the survey about what I wanted to buy in Japan, many Taiwanese answered that they wanted to buy daily necessities, medicine, and cosmetics. This shows the high level of trust in Made in Japan. Japanese products have a high quality image, so if you go to Japan, what should you do if you don't buy Japanese products? By the way, some of the Made in Taiwan products sold in Taiwan are imitating Japanese products. If you put Japanese names on the package or put Japanese on it, even if the contents are made in Taiwan, the sales will go up. It's interesting, isn't it? Next, I looked up which cities Taiwanese people visit in Japan. The first place is Tokyo. It is the capital of Japan, and there are many hotels suitable for staying in the airport, so it is a natural result. In addition, there are many famous sightseeing spots such as Sensoji in Tokyo Tower. The second place is Osaka Prefecture. Unlike Tokyo, it is attractive to enjoy a lively atmosphere. In addition, it is also good for multi-language communication. For example, in the subway guide, you can also use the official language of Taiwan. The third place is Chiba Prefecture. The direct flight to Taipei is operated at Narita Airport, and it is also famous as a prefecture with Tokyo Disneyland. And the fourth place is Okinawa Prefecture. It is the closest prefecture to Taiwan, and it takes only an hour and a half from Taipei to Okinawa. Okinawa and Taiwan have similar climates, and it seems to be a familiar tourist destination for Taiwanese people. It is also attractive to enjoy diving and marine sports. The fifth place is Kyoto Prefecture. Kyoto is famous for its historical buildings. You can wear a kimono and eat Japanese food. It is a city full of good things about Japan. And the sixth place is Hokkaido. The charm of Hokkaido is that you can experience activities related to snow such as skiing. It is completely different from Taiwan, which has a warm climate. It seems that many Taiwanese people visit Hokkaido to enjoy the winter. In addition, it is also good to eat fresh seafood and agricultural products. I've been looking at the rankings like this, but there are many airports with direct flights to Taiwan. It is convenient to have a tourist destination near the airport. So, Riva and I chose Japan instead of Korea. It was a lot of fun to talk about which city to go to, what to eat, and what to buy as a souvenir. When we were in Japan, the first thing we ate was Japanese ramen. Of course, there is also ramen in Taiwan, but the ramen in Japan was rich in variety and tasty. And when I came to Japan, I also tried sushi. Japanese sushi uses fresh fish, and none of the ingredients were out of place. And unlike Taiwan, Japanese rice has a chewy and fluffy texture and is delicious. And, of course, we did a lot of shopping. We visited a drugstore in the city. Health food such as eye drops, lip cream, supplements, lotion, lotion, and face packs are popular with Taiwanese. And Japanese sweets. I was surprised to see a lot of delicious-looking sweets in the sweets corner of the drugstore. I bought a lot of matcha-flavored sweets, crackers, cookies, and so on. I was very satisfied with my first trip to Japan. The food is delicious, shopping is fun, and the Japanese are kind. Japan is a country where I want to go again, as rumored. And the city is beautiful and safe everywhere. And in Japan, driving a car is polite, so you can walk on the road with confidence. In Taiwan, there are many drivers who drive rough, and cars are the priority society, not pedestrians. In this respect, I felt that Japan and Taiwan were exactly the opposite. After returning to Taiwan, Reba and I promised to go to Japan again. Next time, I want to go diving in Okinawa or wear a kimono in Kyoto. I think I understand why there is a high rate of repeaters for Taiwanese travel to Japan. Japan is a country full of charm that makes you want to go again. If you haven't been to Japan yet, please go there. I'm sure you'll be a Japanese fan. Summary Did you notice that there is a big difference between Japan and Korea when viewed from a tourist point of view? Now that the impact of the novel coronavirus has decreased, I think you know that Japan is starting to put more effort into the tourism industry again. In fact, the Korean government is also starting to make efforts to develop in the tourism industry. The goal of the Korean government is to increase the number of foreign visitors to Korea by 30 million per year by 2027. In order to achieve this goal, the Korean government is currently holding events related to tourism in New York and Tokyo, increasing the number of duty-free shops, and changing the terms of the visa. Will the Korean government's goal of 30 million foreign visitors be achieved? I'd like to keep an eye on it. How was it? I'd appreciate it if you could tell me your thoughts in the comments.
