That’s… not the problem. And even if it was, the solution is absolutely not “I guess I’ll shit in that guy’s yard”. Go into a hotel lobby or coffee shop or bar or whatever, ask for the restroom (use your phone as a translator if you need to, because that’s a thing now), and do it there.
Also, what exactly are you suggesting “the problem” is, then? Because based on the rest of the thread, it sounds like most of the people refusing to name the problem are quietly (or loudly) encouraging Chinese racism.
Holy fuck, guy, it’s not racism against Chinese people. It’s frustration and irritation against tourists that behave heinously. Those tourists unfortunately happen to be predominantly Chinese. But if Americans or Russians or Brazilians or Indians were doing it, we’d all be having the same reaction. Stop borrowing outrage.
If you’re a guest in a country, don’t be a shithead.
If you and your countrymen are consistently shitheads to another specific country and their citizens when a guest in said specific country, they’re liable to start changing things to discourage you from coming in the first place, or even make rules to discourage you from visiting in the first place. You are a guest. Fucking act like it.
The sakura festival went of without a hitch for decades. This is a recent development that came with Chinese tourists beginning to go to the festival a lot more. When you are a tourist, the onus is on you to do some prep work and understand any preparations you should be making. Shitting in someone’s yard is indefensible; a reasonable preparation for the festival is “take a shit at your hotel before going to the festival”. I do not understand why you find this hard to parse.
It’s not prejudice. It’s common sense and actuarials.
For the record I am neither Chinese nor Asian, but I assume this is just active voice for dramatic effect.
This isn’t some novel phenomenon special to Japan. Seasonal local festivals that attract many times the local population happen everywhere. At first there’s trash everywhere and general chaos.
Local government and event organizers adapt and improve infrastructure. Or they throw up their hands and say the tourists are impossible to manage.
In the modern day, they monitor social media and predict crowd sizes based on impressions and engagement. They respond with increased infrastructure that includes trash and bathrooms. That’s actuarials.
Common sense is that tourists don’t shit in yards without extreme circumstances forced upon them.

Lmfao do you even hear yourself? Where the fuck do you live? Common sense is you don’t shit in random people’s yards. Ever. Full stop. And I’m not endorsing violent response to that sort of thing, but if you were to try that in, say, San Antonio, TX, you’d get shot.
dude its not racism chinese tourist on bad behaviour has happened for the last 10 years and documented on the news for that long, its chinese tourists from china. nobody said british, canadian or even uk chinese people.
Elsewhere in this thread, it definitely sounds like that’s the problem? People are saying these are residential neighborhoods where the only public restrooms are in a park, and they were already packed and overflowing.
There is no reasonable explanation here except inadequate availability of public restrooms for the amount of tourists.

Either you have not read this comment section, or you are deliberately misconstruing it to feel more comfortable with yourself.

I’m glad everything always goes right for you and you never encounter circumstances or bodily functions out of your control :)
Privileged twat.

Even if that is true, how is “I will shit in this random residential yard” a reasonable solution to that?
or break into japanese households to use thier bathrooms.
It’s not, the reasonable solution is to provide more restrooms. But it apparently didn’t happen, thus the unreasonable solution.
