Foreign visitors to Japan's Himeji Castle might be subject to six times higher fees than locals, aimed at managing tourism growth and currency effects.
Japan considering differential pricing is noteworthy given the currency devaluation, reflecting a global trend of targeting international visitors with surcharges.
The issue isn't spending capacity but sheer numbers, with overcrowding challenges due to a surge in tourists post-COVID, causing strain on local communities.
The concept of fairness in pricing suggests different approaches, like visitors from the U.S. potentially being asked to pay more to align with local costs.
