  Chapter 1151 Tour knowledge

   There are less than two months left before the opening of the 2020 Olympic Games.

  The whole of Japan has entered a very festive atmosphere.

  The world has not experienced the impact of the epidemic.

  However, this does not affect the pessimism of the Japanese about the Olympics.

  The Prime Minister of Japan obviously wants to re-boost people's confidence through this Olympic Games, so that people can once again see the strength of Japan as a technological power.

   It's like Japan used the Olympic Games to boost national confidence.

  But this time is still a little different from before.

  At the beginning, all citizens were positive, and they all believed that life in the future would be better.

  But now, the citizens of this era have experienced the lost decades, and the bursting of the bubble caused Japan's economic recession.

  If you want to make a person positive and work hard in life, you need to constantly give stimulation, and constantly make this person believe that life will be better in the future.

  And it only takes one stimulus to make a person decadent.

  Japan’s otaku and gnawing elders also emerged under the background of this era. They are no longer willing to work hard for a better life, they just want to immerse themselves in the existing comfortable life.

   Don't get married, don't have children, don't buy a house, just lie flat.

  In such a big atmosphere, most of the people interviewed on the roadside didn’t think very well about the Olympics, thinking that this is just a waste of tax revenue by the Japanese government.

   There are those money that can obviously do something more meaningful, and wasting it on the Olympics is the worst decision.

  However, they also expressed their approval for another thing in the Olympic Games, that is, the opening and closing ceremonies in the Olympic Games.

  Most of the younger generation of citizens are looking forward to the opening and closing ceremonies.

  Because this is a rise of fashion pop culture.

  In the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games, you can see industries such as animation and games.

  This is the only place where the younger generation in Japan feel the most confident.

  According to the voting results, 70% of the nationals have no idea of ​​watching the Olympics.

  But 80% of people expressed that they would at least watch the opening and closing ceremonies.

  On the streets, there are many more foreigners than before. This is at least a positive effect of the Olympic Games, attracting more people to come to consume and travel.

   "Well, let me see the itinerary."

  An American is holding a map of Japan in his hand.

   On this map, there are some itinerary plans he hand-painted.

   "Okay, first stop, Tsushima Island."

  He drew a circle on a very conspicuous mark on the map, and then went straight to the airport with his backpack on his back, preparing to go to Tsushima Island.

  Tsushima Island was originally just a very inconspicuous place in Japan.

  A few years ago, no one except locals may have heard of this place name, let alone foreigners.

   But all the turning points came from a video game.

  The name of this game is Tsushima Island.

  The story told is that the ancient Japanese fought against the invasion from the Mongolian Jin people.

  This story was performed very well in the game, and even later became the content of the Japanese national textbooks, and was well-written.

  At the same time, this game also attracted many people to be curious about the place of Tsushima Island, so the small place of Tsushima Island has an endless stream of visitors.

   A place where few people stayed suddenly became popular, and the local government was ecstatic.

  They are worrying about how to make money in normal times, and now this opportunity to make money is right in front of them.

   And the hero of all this is Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

   In order to thank Youxing Electronic Entertainment, the local government also promised that all employees of Youxing Electronic Entertainment can get free tickets when they travel to Tsushima Island.

  If Zhu Youxing, the game producer himself, comes, he can also receive the highest standard of reception from the entire island.

  Everything is borne by the government regardless of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and Zhu Youxing does not need to spend a penny.

  At the same time, the local government gave Zhu Youxing the title of honorary village head.

   It’s just that Zhu Youxing has never been to Tsushima Island at all, and when he is making game materials, he also asks his staff to handle it.

   That afternoon, the American successfully landed on Tsushima Island by helicopter.

  The most conspicuous place at Tsushima’s airport is the Tsushima game-related content.

   Some plots in the game are fictitious, but the local government is very keen to completely reproduce the fictional story.

  The fictitious family building in the game was built in a big way that year, and it also charged for tickets to the public. In just the first year, all the money for the construction was transferred back with interest.

   Later, the local government also built some antique hotel buildings so that people can live here.

  At the same time, there are many check-in points that are exactly the same as the game scene.

  The American traveled from place to place according to the guides on the Internet, and he spent thousands of dollars on this day alone.

   There is money for local punching and taking pictures, as well as money for car rental, tickets, hotel accommodation, etc.

   "Thank you for coming, sir, please come again next time!"

  The local people wear ancient armor, warmly welcome and send away every tourist who comes to travel.

  Because of the Olympic Games, Tsushima has seen a surge in passenger traffic recently.

  Many of them are gamers who already like video games. This time they came to Japan because of the Olympic Games, so naturally they don’t want to miss a visit to the Holy Land.

  The American spent a day and a night on Tsushima Island, and also participated in a stage play opportunity, personally acting as the protagonist in the game and performing a classic battle in the Tsushima Island game.

   This one costs five hundred dollars, the most expensive place.

   Then, he returned with a full load to his heart's content, and returned to the Japanese mainland.

   "Well, next to...this place."

  He took the map and drew a circle on it again.

   That was a Japanese filming location for Street Fighter.

   is a Kendo gym located in Osaka.

  This kendo gym was opened by the Hayazawa Airi family, the director of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment Engineering Development Department.

  Hayasawa Airi’s family was in the kendo business at the very beginning. By the time of Hayazawa Airi’s father’s generation, there was only one kendo gym in Tokyo, Japan that was barely operating.

  At that time, Hayazawa Airi's father hoped that Hayazawa Airi could find a man to marry into his family so that he could inherit the kendo gym of Hayazawa Airi's family.

  But I didn't expect Hayazawa Airi to be too rebellious.

   And even if they were rebellious, they developed quite well later on. On the contrary, their work in Youxing Electronic Entertainment led to the operation of their family's kendo gym.

  Later, it turned around and started to re-ignite the kendo teaching business due to the popularity of games such as Street Fighter. Hayazawa Airi’s father took advantage of this time to re-develop the kendo teaching business in multiple places.

  Osaka is the largest kendo business operated by the Hayazawa Airi family, and it is also the location for one of the backgrounds of Street Fighter.

"Hey!"

"ha!"

   "Very good! Raise the sword! Slash! Shout out! Very imposing!"

  A man dressed like a kendo master put his hands on his back with a stern face, watching many middle-aged and young people practicing kendo seriously below.

   Their actions are uniform and very aesthetic.

   These are usually the core students of the kendo gym and the cornerstone of the development of the kendo gym.

  In another training place, there are some with different appearances, including Westerners, Asians, and African Americans.

  There is only one reason for them to come here, and that is to come to the Holy Land for a pilgrimage. By the way, they want to experience the atmosphere of kendo by paying some money and take a photo by the way.

  The American man decisively took out two thousand dollars here, let two professional kendo trainers accompany him to practice kendo, and took a few handsome photos by the way.

  In the end, the American was satisfied, he gained new technical knowledge, and he took a cool photo.

  The operator of the kendo hall is also very satisfied.

   Such a fat sheep is not slaughtered for nothing.

  In the past, it was hard for them to imagine that a video game could have such a big influence.

   People will be willingly slaughtered for liking video games.

  $2,000 just to experience the kendo atmosphere and get a photo at the Street Fighter location.

  The most profitable business here is not charging tuition fees for those core students.

  Train those core students just to increase their professionalism.

  The most profitable business of the kendo gym here in Osaka comes from the guys who are on tour of these holy places.

   To take a picture that is exactly the same as the Street Fighter battle scene, the starting price is two thousand dollars, and there is no upper limit.

   If you want to restore the battle scene of Street Fighter one-to-one, then you need at least one extra performer, right? Do you still need a professional sparring partner? Still need a professional photographer?

  Then the price of such a service would have to go for five thousand dollars.

  Even with such an exaggerated price, some people still want to take pictures willingly.

   It can only be said that these people are really rich and rich.

  Finally, the American couldn’t resist spending another five thousand dollars to shoot a five-minute Street Fighter style battle video.

  After the video was shot, the American took off his kendo training uniform, and the Kendo Hall solemnly issued the American with the highest-standard kendo training certificate, as well as the autograph of the master of the Osaka Kendo Training Hall.

   The total cost of all this did not exceed a hundred dollars.

  Finally, the American was presented with a set of kendo training clothes that looked pretty good.

  In fact, the total cost of this training suit is only twenty or thirty dollars.

   But this American is willing to pay for it.

   "Okay, next is the old site of Youxing Electronic Entertainment."

  In the suburbs of Tokyo, the United States, a single-family low-rise office building.

   This place is where Youxing Electronic Entertainment made its fortune.

   A series of classic games such as the red and white machine and Super Mario were born here.

  Now it has also become one of the protected buildings, and it is also the office of the crowdfunding game zone and the game industry committee.

  When the Americans came here, he found that there were hundreds of people taking pictures next to each other.

   Some people will take pictures of some classic Yuxing Electronic Entertainment physical games.

   This is the place where the American spends the least money, because there is no need to pay for tickets to take pictures here.

  Of course, if you want more professional photo effects, you can only hire a professional photographer who is waiting to be hired with a professional camera.

  Such photographers are very popular at the moment. For ten dollars a photo, he can take hundreds of photos in a day, which is really cool.

  If he can be this happy every day, he feels that he should be able to return to the era when Japan was very prosperous.

   At the same time, he also thanked Youxing Electronic Entertainment in his heart.

   Without Youxing Electronic Entertainment, he wouldn't have such a good job.

  Is there a better job than making money just by taking pictures of people with your hands?

The American spent one hundred dollars to ask a professional photographer to leave a good photo for himself. The photographer promised to make it within a week, frame it and send it to the American’s home. Of course, the postage was paid by the American himself. Take out, or Americans can also give an address in Japan, and send it in a week.

  The Americans leave their hotel address in Tokyo satisfied and leave.

   Next is the current headquarters of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

  It is also a very popular place there.

  By the time he got there, the Youxing Building had been besieged, and it was even necessary to ask the local law enforcement agencies to help maintain the order of the Youxing Building, at least to ensure that the company's employees could go to and from get off work normally.

  Occasionally someone is lucky enough to meet a well-known producer who is now enjoying the star treatment.

This American regrets that he did not have the opportunity to take photos with those producers, because he came a bit late, so he can only see if he has the opportunity to come here again in the past few days, and see if he can meet some famous producers, or even Zhu Youxing himself.

   He would thank God if he could touch it.

   Here he simply took a picture and checked in, then left.

   Next, he has one last stop.

  The last stop in Japan besides watching the Olympics.

   That is Youxing Paradise.

   This is the paradise that all gamers most want to go to.

  He traveled thousands of miles to come here, so he must not be missed.

  But in the past half a month, Youxing Paradise has adopted a reservation system.

  If you don't have an appointment, you can't even enter Yuxing Paradise to play.

  There are so many people, there is no way.

  Youxing Paradise has a large scale, but there is also an upper limit for the number of tourists it can carry, and 200,000 tourists at the same time is the limit.

   During the Olympic Games, the number of customers received at the same time every day has always been full of 200,000 people, and you can't get in without an appointment.

   But you can also find some hidden ways to get tickets.

  This American did not hesitate to spend twice the price of the tickets to buy tickets from others.

  When you come to Japan, if you don’t go to Youxing Paradise, it will be a waste of time.

  He even thought that even if he didn't go to the Olympics, he would come to Youxing Paradise to experience it.

  Youxing Paradise now has seven playgrounds.

  Each venue has its own style.

  Mario Theme Park, Pokémon Master Gym, Final Fantasy Theme Pavilion, Comprehensive Entertainment Game Park...

  If you want to visit every paradise, three or five days is definitely not enough.

  Park cost: $10,000 for a five-day pass.

  This is just the price of the ticket.

  Here includes the money for the tickets and the money for the fast track. He doesn't want to wait, he just wants to play a lot of interesting things as soon as possible.
