Meshida's English language comedy videos sometimes provide insightful social commentary. This one touches on two stereotypes of foreign tourists that I believe really do anger many Japanese, especially using torii gates as exercise bars (never do that!). Of course, these are very rare incidents (like a leading politician's claim the other day that foreign tourists sometimes kick deer in Nara), but they produce a visceral reaction (especially the torii gate case). Also, when I first saw "Foreigners-Only Train Cars" caption for a split second I believed it was real. That seems like something the Japanese government (or railway companies) might actually do.
