@AwetTesfaiesus "and society hasn’t collapsed" - not sure to which part this applies, but at least here in media we get to hear that's partly "because of so much investments from other countries" due to the weak Yen.
Weak Yen is leading to many tourists (to a degree word "overtourism" gets used here), that's also an uptick for economy.
I compared Japan and Germany by the factors important to me at https://blog.fluxcoil.net/posts/2025/02/living-abroad-in-japan/ .
