Yeah, it's really well written. Especially the part about how recently some tourists from America come here with their valuable USD and enjoy a week or two of shopping, eating out and walking around, then to romanticize just how amazing life is in Japan. Living here is a much different reality to being a tourist here. I think it's easier to "self-insert" as a "Hey, I could totally live here," while a tourist in Japan, than, say, a tourist in Mexico. Japan is quite a wonderful place, but there's a lot of unseen work and sacrifice that gets put into making it wonderful. It is a country with very different priorities than the USA, for example, but it isn't magic.
