Government Opens 'Spirit World' After Missing Inbound Tourism Target; Duty-Free Shop Opens at Sai no Kawara
In response to stagnant inbound tourist numbers, the Japan Tourism Agency announced a new guideline that 'does not care whether visitors have legs or not.' Designating the Obon festival as a 'super peak season,' they changed entry procedures for ghosts from facial recognition to 'Grudge Authentication.' Meanwhile, the physical exchange processing of the massive amount of 'leaves' and 'hell money' paid by the spirits has caused the Ministry of Finance's underground vault to physically overflow, prompting the Governor of the Bank of Japan to request an exorcism.
