I second everything MJG said about your racist comment that foreigners go to haikyo and are responsible for damaging them. Do you have any proof of that? Have you watched both Japanese and non-Japanese go to the same haikyo and seen the non-Japanese do damage while the Japanese damaged nothing? Come on!

And I don’t understand, do you go to haikyo also? If you do go to haikyo, then you “disobey” the rules of the signs saying no trespassing also! If you do not go to haikyo, then you have no credibility to say who damages them.

Either way…..FAIL.

That’s patently, and approaching racistly, untrue. I won’t argue that it’s mildly illegal to go into those places- but as long as I don’t damage the place, it seems to me a victimless crime.

First off- let’s set the record straight. I found out about this place from a Japanese haikyo book written by Japanese people, with maps inmade by Japanese mappers. My website has no maps, so it is not easy for anyone to gain access from my site.

Second- Most of the damage in these places is done by local kids. If you don’t believe that, look at the type of dumb graffiti you’ll find on the walls.

Third- If I got into trouble, sure I would call the police for help. You think I shouldn’t? That’s ridiculous. Even if I brought the trouble on myself- what, I don’t deserve help? I saw the asbestos and continued on- I can take the consequences to my own health.

Kazuaki- You may not understand this comment, or you may not even read it. I’m happy to have a dialogue with you about this. But you need to change your preconceptions, and apologize for your ‘blame-the-foreigner’ mentality. If you do not, and comment in a stereotyping or anti-foreigner way on my site again- know that your comments will be deleted without response.
