I think Uber's failure in Japan means the failures in Tokyo downtown and other large cities like Osaka. In those cities you don't have to wait much to pick the cars up. It's not the same like in SF. Discovering a niche market for Uber in Japanese large cities might be difficult.
- 2bitencryption 10y agoYeah, Japan does not really have the problem that Uber is supposed to solve. At least, not to the degree that we have in the US. EDIT: however, I did see TONS of AirBnB (or the like) in Japan. Temporary housing is certainly a problem they DO have (at least in the cities)... perhaps even more than western nations...
- jj1bdx 10y agoHotels or rooms for visitors to stay is indeed in shortage nationwide, and a big problem, presumably since 2014 or so.
