”Let's have Koreans pay double for Japanese ramen”...Is Japan introducing a ”double pricing system”?

As the ``yen depreciation phenomenon'' in which the value of the Japanese yen declines continues for a long time, there are growing calls for the introduction of a ``dual pricing system'' for foreigners in Japan. “Double pricing system” applies even for the same product.
The argument is that foreign tourists should be paid more and Japanese people should be paid less. According to foreign media on the 25th, Hisanori Nagayama, advisor to the Japan Inns Association, recently said, ``In Singapore,
They operate a dual pricing system by giving discounts to residents at Mapark, supermarkets, restaurants, etc."
"We are enjoying the benefits of 'good injustice' such as The ``dual pricing system'' advocated by Advisor Hisanori Nagayama means that if you present a document that proves you are Japanese, such as a Japanese ID card, you will be able to rent a hotel.
This method offers discounts at restaurants, tourist spots, etc. In fact, Japan's JR Group has reduced the price of the JK Railway Pass (7-day pass) sold to foreign tourists by 69% from 29,650 yen to 50,000 yen.
Raised. In the current foreign exchange market, the value of the yen has fallen and demand for tourism in Japan has increased explosively. According to the Japan National Tourism Organization (hereinafter referred to as JNTO), 25,066,100 foreigners visited Japan last year alone.
Visited Japan. The problem is that tourists are helping to drive up Japan's already high prices.
1,00 in Japan until the beginning of 2022 when the exchange rate exceeds 1,000 won per 100 yen.
It cost more than 10,000 won to eat ramen for 0 yen. However, now that the exchange rate has dropped to 885 won, you can get the same ramen for just 8,850 won.
On the other hand, since Japanese people have to pay the same costs regardless of the exchange rate, only Japanese people have to endure the prices stimulated by the increased demand from ``low-cost tourists.''
There is dissatisfaction. However, although introducing a ``dual pricing system'' would reduce the cost burden on Japanese people, it would also have many side effects. The tourism industry, one of Japan's major industries, will be hit hard.
There are many possibilities. In particular, Korean tourists account for more than a quarter of foreign tourists visiting Japan. JNTO calculated that 6,958,500 Koreans visited Japan last year.
