I Tested 1-Star Reviews at Viral Spots in Japan

[@jmwyvill]

I love when people leave reviews like "I went to another country to experience their culture without first researching the reasons or traditions of said cultures, and I hated how I had to actually take part in their culture." Like, how privileged/spoiled can you be? Your videos are a dream and I love when you expose these kinds of people

[@okashi10]

EXACTLY, like "I'm going to Japan, HOW DARE THE LANGUAGE BE JAPANESE"

[@hayley8907]

omg yes. We just held general elections here and the number of pretentious British expats causing trouble at the voting ballots like " I want to vote why isn't this written in English!?" Because this is not england. How can you say you care about who is in office here when you don't even care to learn the language here. You can't even read the name of the person/party you say you support. That is embarrassing.

[@lethfuil]

I briefly worked in a grocery store in a somewhat touristy area (I've worked in service multiple times, but only once was it where there was a lot of tourists). The amount of times were US Americans got legitimately mad (some just got confused, way better, but still pretty dumb) that they couldn't pay in dollars was WILD. Not something that would happen everyday, but that it happened at all and way more than once was, like...WHAT? I can't even imagine the level of shock they must experience when they got to a place where staff couldn't speak English, for the first time. xD

[@NoirParvana]

A friend, my husband, and I have all studied both kendo and kumdo (korean weapon arts). You don't even get to HOLD a real katana until you are rank 4-5. And one of our peers watched a kendo master (8+) accidentally slice through his achilles tendon when doing a demonstration. This is a man who has studied for decades and we all had a huge amount of respect for. And no one knew because that is how quickly and cleanly those blades cut. He had to TELL those present to call an ambulance. It is so wild people expect more.

[@battimano]

My partner studies a variety of sword arts, he’s been practicing and studying for 6-7 years now and he only JUST started investing in sharp swords and the amount of safety stuff we discussed before getting them was wild. Absolutely insanely dangerous and deadly weapons.

[@adriennealliea2163]

Actually held a katana when I was a kid secretly, it was with a sword cover(idk what you call it) and it just slide down my palms and I screamed 😅 my palms was sliced. It was unbelievably sharp and stupid of me. hahaha my mom was fuming 🤣

[@ac_demarco]

absolutely died at the footage of you trying to swing the katana. you could see you didn’t want to let gravity take the sword and you wanted to still have it be controlled 😂 perfect display of what you’d said right before about being anxious about bad things happening

[@CAMILONGSS]

Hi Mia! As a heads up, the pools where fish clean your feet are not only dangerous but also abusive to the fish. I remember seeing something about it some time ago, where they explained that these places are prone to giving people horrible skin infections. They also starve the fish so they eat your dead skin. It's a really shitty practice

[@YKGETO]

that’s sad

[@clairec1348]

Also can contract hepatitis or HIV from people who have it. (Those who previously used the fish spa). Since some fish might nip a skin a lil too much and draw blood 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@misseselise3864]

this video is the perfect example of why people need to be researching what they want to do BEFORE planning to go there. as you said, a lot of the low ratings were about stuff that could be easily found out online like business hours and whether or not tattoos need to be covered. i feel like a lot of people, especially people from the US, have a hard time remembering that not everywhere has the same customs as wherever they came from. this video is also a good example of why you should be reading the content of reviews since people have different interests. like someone who hates being barefoot isn’t going to like the art exhibit but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad art exhibit.

[@janeschwab1682]

the park seems like a japanese keukenhof which is like a central part to display all of the flowers that the country has to offer so it makes total sense for it to be priced. The amount of people working there and tending, and it's like a museum in a garden. From the massive gates, it's very clearly not just a normal park. I'm very happy that other countries have this idea :)

[@Chachixo]

Right it’s totally a botanic garden which typically have entry fees and they’re usually much more expensive in the US than that one is.

[@SaintShion]

As a japanese person, I just want to say reviews like this are pretty common in Japan. There'll be reviews like: "food was excellent, quick and well priced, but the wifi connection was bad and I couldnt watch KZbin, 1 star" or "They had everything I needed, the worker made sure to package everything nicely and gave me a discount but their parkling lost had a plastic bag and some trash, 1 star!"

[@vlo4829]

In Japanese, they sometimes use the word "park" when we would say "garden" in English. Unfortunately, in English, these words carry different feelings and expectations, so I understand people feeling ripped off at having to pay to visit a "park" but they understand paying for a "garden". If you call it a "garden", it automatically has more prestige and sounds better kept than a "park". It also sounds like it has more history.

[@disorderlymatron5534]

I appreciate how you're thoughtful and mindful to where you're going. Instead of assuming an attraction will be catered to you no matter what. I feel like being that way helps to make sure you'll enjoy yourself. Instead of being stress that a place doesn't fit the image you created in your mind, you're able to appreciate the moment

[@jessicariesen6618]

[@karlamicheldealba]

Relatable

[@Atlasintokyo]

I see where you're coming from and I'm very sorry that you have anxiety based off of going to places with bad reviews, but most of those reviews are written by people who are angry every time I want to write a review I'm like no because I actually don't even want to I'm just upset about something like half of these reviews Don't mean anything if you read all of the reviews written by the people that you think have a good review, they probably say the same thing under every Business, like I promise you unless it's healthcare or something very specifically personal that you do not want to have a boundary crossed on most places are fine to go to and figure out on your own because your perspective is going to be different than a person who's in their 40s reviewing it on a bad day they had

[@Atlasintokyo]

Like there's literally apps meant for people to vent on about places they didn't like going specifically just so they can be negative like I have never seen a positive review on anything in my life I'm almost positive These people just need an outlet so I wouldn't trust them as much as I would trust your own opinion.

[@vlo4829]

Just don't read reviews

[@Daymickey]

This was so eye opening and refreshing. Your expectations matter just as much if not more than the actual experience. Also open minded people in general have a better time when traveling and being a tourist so their experience ends up being different than for others, but they might not be as likely to leave a review as the entitled minded person.

[@madelainedusseau4293]

One star reviews can be really helpful for determining whether people going there have the same mindset as you. 5 star reviews with no details are not helpful. Looking forward to more feisty Mia content.

[@solesuna]

So true, we did the north 500 a few years ago. Found reviews on basically everything by the same person. She hated everything we really liked. 😂 We looked for her review and if she didn‘t like it we knew we liked it because of our different taste.

[@the_gaiaphage]

so true, like when you look at reviews for a Chinese restaurant and all the 1 star reviews say the staff was rude, you know that's the place to go lol

[@TheSongwritingCat]

I go for 3 stars and below since they tend to be more critical and detailed. But one star reviews can also be pretty hyperbolic.

I don’t think they were all ridiculous, if I got a rash or attacked by a bird I wouldn’t be leaving a happy or high rating.

[@littleredbender]

@@WhitneySchleiffarth By all means take up a crusade against crows if you've been a victim of crow crime, but knocking down the park's rating over a random wildlife encounter seems silly. I completely agree a rash is always worth complaining about--to the company/online, your doctor, a stranger at the bar, and anyone else who will listen.

THANK YOU!!! Mia Maples is over here, spittin’ truths! It drives me crazy that people act like there shouldn’t be any crowds when they go to a place as wonderful and magical as Japan. The Japanese people do their best to cultivate their amazing historical and modern attractions for as many people to enjoy as possible. We should be grateful we get to see it at all. I feel like if you’re someone who’s always going to complain about having to share an experience with others, that maybe you shouldn’t go to Japan. Or if you do, immediately get on a Shinkansen and go to the countryside.

[@lyndseyann8625]

This is in no way a criticism of Mia, or anyone else, but please, please don't get fish pedicures. They have several health risks and are an inhumane practice. They are illegal in parts of Europe, parts of Canada, and parts of the United States.

[@Julianaao2601]

My conclusion is that people who left these 1 star reviews: didn’t do their research before going to the experience, are insufferable tourist that expect English everywhere, expect Japan to be empty so they don’t have to experience crowded TOURIST DESTINATIONS 😒 be for real! Thanks Mia for being honest and defending this places, which honestly look awesome! Can always count on you ❤

[@zou1507]

And unfortunately they are the reason of perpetuating stereotypes about Americans or white people in general

[@eykyra]

I mean I overall agree but I do think there is legitimate concern about over massified tourist destinations. It's bad for the locals as well. I think suggesting a more conservative approach that allows less people at the same time making the experience more enjoyable and easier to manage is not a bad take. I understand Mia in that you would expect for it to be busy because it's Tokio, but that does not meant it should be like that.

Hi, Mia! I'm also learning Japanese from Duolingo, and in both the app and website there's a feature in which you can learn how to read and write in the hiragana, katakana and kanji alphabets! (In the app this tab is beside the courses tab). I heard you saying more than once that you don't know how to read Japanese, and I don't know if you will read this comment, but if you did I hope this helped you! ❤

[@macieg4052]

I’m so confused how she hasn’t learned the hiragana, I have the same length streak as her and to progress you had to complete the hiragana section and the katakana section. I hope she sees your comment and tries to learn the alphabets

[@abbyelectric]

I only started learning Japanese 43 days ago (with the little green bird) and I've already almost completed all the base hiragana sets. Granted, I've been neglecting the actual language lessons to do so, but I thought it would be more beneficial in the long run for me to get the hiragana down first, y'know?

[@Terahnee]

One of the most important things when learning pronunciation is that each vowel has ONE sound only. Just one. Makes it so much simpler when you remember that. And how to break down words. ie: arigato = a ri ga to = ah ree gah toe

[@RicoHades]

Mmm I kinda have to disagree just a bit well more add something a park I went to in SA there was this bird that wasn't a parent but was really aggressive and I get brids live in nature but it took the bird clawing some kids face for them to call SPCA and get the bird removed for people's safety the pathway was there first as when I asked around this one lady said it's about time since she likes to go with her children but from about the past year she's had to avoid that path since the bird is there and I totally agree she said the park should have either close that pathway or put a warning sign because luckily the kid was ok apart from some cuts pretty deep but he still had two eyes. The park definitely should have a sign at all entry ways saying beware the crow is agressive

[@Terahnee]

The crows in Japan are just on another level though. We used to refer to them as Crowdactyls when I lived there. No joke, there were some that could easily carry off a small dog.

[@RicoHades]

@phantagirlable nope it didn't have a territory and it didn't target just kids they said they sent out a team to find a nest but there was no reason for it to even be that side of the park😅the nest was the other side of the park plus no food is allowed so it wasn't that either that bird just wired differently

[@RicoHades]

@phantagirlable because its territory was the other side of the park this bird was sort of intruding in the I don't know what the bird is call it's big and eats meat not an eagle but kind of territory who had been there with their mate for two year before I was told.

[@karenneill9109]

Crows can be a whole other deal though… I had a friend who couldn’t go into her backyard for a couple of years- the crows remembered her making noise when they were nesting and they wouldn’t let her forget it. She ended up brining them with shiny things, and then they became friendly. 😂

Hey Mia! I loved the video and am so excited you had a lovely trip. But I just want to let you know for the doctor fish that there are some ethical concerns. These fish don’t eat dead skin off your feet unless they are starving, so they aren’t given anything else to eat. They are not a native species (from the Middle East) many die in transit and can become an invasive species if released to the wild of the area. In addition, the tanks are hard to clean and there is risk of staph infections because of the fish’s bacteria. I don’t mean to ruin your experience, I’m just letting you know for future reference! If people could like this so Mia can see this!

@@makadoodledoo which means nothing. it is still dumb and disrespectful to expect the rest of the world to use YOUR language. english is taught in schools where I live but if you ask someone to say anything in english they’ll only know a few words. you can’t expect everyone around the world to know english, if you’re visiting a country at least use google translator if you don’t want to learn the language.

Totally agree with you. I am Spanish and I work in the tourism sector, facing the public. There are people who expect you to adapt to them wherever they are.

[@sapiwette]

I am so appreciative of the fact that you blurred people around you. It's also overall an interesting and fun video. Thanks for the great content!

You have to go to shibuya sky at night!!!! It is the coolest city view I’ve seen in my life, definitely go to it at night!!!!!

[@ryokonwashu]

Mia is the perfect tourist, so understanding and honestly enjoying expensive tourist traps. I also would like to see the full unedited version of the doctor fish portion of the video please

As a foreigner (from a Spanish speaking country) that is living and working here in Japan, I did my very best t learn the language before even trying to get a job, I cannot understand how some people expect for Japan to adapt to their language, yes japanese is not an easy language but as Mia said google traslate works wonders! I don't expect other people to speak to me in Spanish if I go let's say to an English speaking country....

19:56 if you slapped the underneath of some of the hanging balls it’d make a noise (on impact) & change the colour- that was so fun!

I never comment, but I love this video series soooo much! The positivity and redemption arc of so many awesome places is refreshing! 😇

[@Shallowowl3]

I love you Mia ❤ your videos help a lot of your viewers afloat.

[@brendatajik6150]

Honestly, this is one of the best videos you've posted. The Katana story was hilarious. You are too cute, and your hubby is a beast! I'm glad you suffered no ill effects and had fun. ❤😊

[@cjfromny]

I love this Japan series so much 🥰🥰

“Reviewing” with one’s financial privilege without showing one’s financial privilege with a 1 star review. I’ve had opportunity to travel with great financial burden and years of savings… I’m grateful for the many countries I’ve travelled- Thank-you Mia! I have Japan on my bucket list- now I have sub categories to check off!

[@lindaarb5160]

[@LindaKayHolevas]

23:58 “I’m having intrusive thoughts” 😂 that cracked me up because I related so well!!

[@carmellapacillas8431]

Love your videos! I binge watch them with my mama! ❤

[@siyarakb5305]

I really respect you for this video , because nowadays people write stupid reviews. It has become hard to find which is genuine & which is not. The video was fun to watch😊
