Why are there so many Japanese tourists in Lapland? When I was at Rovaniemi last winter it felt like Tokyo.

because finland is a connoisseur's destination
Travelling within their ethnic continuum.
Maybe they are Saami.
They're like the British.
They just need to get the fuck off of their island every now and then.
Most Sami people look white
Yeah but why Finland? We have nothing to offer
saw a 1 hour japanese documentary on life in my grandpas home town in northern sweden
the place has a population of like 300, was fucking weird
The japanese like Sweden for some reason.
>like
>sweden
what does that even mean?
I pretty much get 90% of my salary from asian tourists here in Jokkmokk.
That's your opinion. And it obviously doesn't matter to them
Japs barely get snow in the winter.
They could just go to Russia for that
Sami BVLLS of course
So Americans don't travel abroad much?
How many out of the 300 are Somalis?
about as many white cocks you take up your ass every day my little soytoy
because of IKEA and H&M.
Before the two, we couldn't differentiate Norway, Sweden, and Finland.
Do you hate Japan?
My ass has taken more than 300.
yes but daily
They want to see aurora and go to santa claus village
then what's up with Sweden Hills and the explicit celebration of swedish midsummer?
oh missed that part... I could never compete with Swedes when it comes to gay jokes.
das rite
>explicit
I've learnt about it on INT.
I didn't know they had expiated before that.
we've been having a surge of japanese tourists too lately. they've increased 400% in a year. whad di fug? XDDD
Why would you want to go to Russia?
Northern of Japan is heavy snow area desu.

Successful marketing by both the Swedish and Finnish Lapland tourism agencies.
They really managed to sell the idea of the most depressing place in the country as some magical winter land.
The Northern lights in winter and the midnight sun in summer.
If they want to see snow?
...
You can see snow in developed countries too.
They're mostly Chinese
Since asian people are now aware western Europe tourist destinations (Paris/London) are dangerous shitholes where they get mugged, they look for safer, calmer alternatives
Maybe they just want to be able to go to a city with white people in it. I met Jap tourists both in the United States and Europe and in both places they were shocked how many foreigners there are. Also FInland, much like Japan, is viewed as a quirky country with an interesting culture.
>a quirky country with an interesting culture
>FInland
ok....
I'm just saying its seen like that. A lot of Japs have a weird thing for Finland just like a lot of Westerners have a thing for Japan. Even in Anime one of the most common foreigners to have in a show is a Finn.
