Maybe politics can't be helped about that but...
I feel sorry for them.
They also use our taxes too carelessly, so ¥1000 is not gonna make a change.
Ask the people to leave Tokyo? - Yes.
Hey guys this is Ask Japanese. Today we are on the streets of Tokyo
to ask questions to Japanese people for you.
Actually 2019 a new Tax is gonna come to Japan.
That means every time you leave Japan you have to pay ¥1000.
It's called the Sayonara Tax in slang.
We are gonna find out and ask Japanese people what they think about that.
Is that a good idea or not?
Let's find out and Ask Japanese.
If you are new to our channel, don't forget to subscribe now for future videos. Let's go.
In 2019, once you leave Japan...
You have to pay about ¥1000, did you hear about that.
The departure tax? I heard about that.
What do you think about it.
Some people get tax free or they have money anyways.
If that makes more tax revenue, then I think it's good.
Politically this might not be helped but...
I feel sorry for those who have to pay it.
What do you think about those ¥1000?
Isn't that a bit too much?
If that becomes a problem for leaving Japan, it's not good.
I want that money to really come back to us straight away.
Just rotate that money straight back.
"Give me back the money when I get back to Japan" - Yes like that,
Japan will try to get money out of everything.
That's really a problem with our country.
Once they start that tax, what shall the money be used for ?
The money they took from people at the airport?
They also use our taxes too carelessly, so ¥1000 is not gonna make a change.
I want them to make a better environment for people then. Like free Wifi and such.
Recently, people watch more videos online than TV.
We watch movies on the go and that's expensive.
Would be good if they could use those ¥1000 to better the city for every one.
I think that would also make for more people wanting to travel.
The economy in Japan is not going that smoothly yet either,
But making chances for people to get that money back, like little raises in salary or such...
giving a little bit back into everyone's household money, would be good.
Do you feel any benefit from your taxes?
If we didn't have them, some things would be tough.
I would like to believe that it's getting used somewhere where I can't see it.
I don't feel any personal benefits.
Recently I can see more barrier free places.
This makes a better environment for disabled people.
Right now your tax is 8% right?
Do you think Japan is using these 8% wisely?
No I don't think so.
Generally some higher up people use it for something else, in secret.
I have seen some of that, that's why I don't believe Japan does.
I don't think it is being used well.
Not much, I have never thought about it.
I think all the money just goes to some higher ups.
Does Japan use their taxes for everyone's sake?
What do you think? - I don't know either.
I hope they will in the future.
What shall your taxes be used for?
I want them to use it in education or such.
Japan is using comparatively little money on education.
I think that's not good so it would be nice if they could reduce or abolish educational fees.
I am not sure if taxes can solve that problem but...
I live by myself and the trains in Tokyo are so crowded...
I want the government to use money wisely...
and find a way to reduce the amount of people on the trains...
Less packed trains ... - Yes.
What should they do to make that happen?
Have more trains or add more subway lines.
That's why I think having more trains is important.
The rush hour in the morning is super tough
If you go to university you pay about ¥4,000,000 (40,000 dollars) or more...
I wish they would reduce those educational fees.
Don't just build stuff in the big cities, but also in the countryside.
There is nothing in Yamagata...
You want them to give an incentive to come outside of Tokyo...
I want taxes to be used on kids and babies.
Recently so much money goes to the pensioners in Japan...
But there doesn't seem much support for the little ones.
Like having more kindergartens? - That's right.
I want the money to be used for daycares and such.
But at the same time also for the older people.
- Use it for all? - Yeah nobody left out.
Orphanages and places for kids, I would like them to get more money.
Those were our questions. Thanks so much.
Sayonara... goodbye.... but before you leave.... don't forget...
to pay me ¥1000.
So how is the Sayonara Tax gonna work?
Some people are not quite sure about it. Some say Hey if you have the money to travel
you might as well.
I find it's an interesting idea. We have something similar in Germany.
Every time you go to the doctors, we need to pay 10 Euros in the quarter of the year.
I think it will be difficult for people who have to frequently fly in and out of Japan
At the airport generally people get rid of their change and money beforehand
I am not sure how they will implement those ¥1000 and how they are gonna make people pay
The only thing I would be worried about is making the cues even longer
Right now at immigration the cue for leaving and entering Japan
especially during peak seasons is already quite long.
If they want to implement that during, for ex, the cherry blossom season
or the Olympics...
I just don't know how they are gonna do this.
I have seen all counters in use and cues... Usually the Japanese people
have a counter where they can just go through and they don't wait...
The counters for foreigners going into Japan and out of Japan are...
sometimes so packed especially at Narita airport...
I have seen things... OMG...
I am getting shock syndrome just thinking about it.
I don't know how they are gonna make people pay and minimize the cues.
It could lead to people delaying their flights, missing their flights...
That's something to look out for. If you come during those times...
You might have to be at the airport even earlier just to make all of that happen.
There is not a system as of yet. We are not quite sure so we will learn more about that

It seems like the general amount of people is thinking that the money is not getting used right
especially health care and similar things like that...
Also with the amount of kindergartens and stuff.
There are many things that need to get fixed and I hope they are using the money to fix it
but I have the feeling they are just gonna build more pretty buildings for the Olympics.
Which is what they are doing a lot right now.
The general amount of people seems to think the tax is not getting used in the right ways
The main amount of Japanese people seems to be thinking that. Interesting.
Let us know what you think about it. Looking forward to reading your comments.
