“Year by year, the manners of Japanese tourists have steadily become poor,” the sign reads.

They've also banned infants and children.

Arima, who is now the only employee, may begin serving Japanese customers from October, the sign on door reads. But for now the initiative has resulted in a decline in business.

 

“There are no customers at all,” the manager told J-Cast News. “Yesterday I had only two people. As expected, many people have complained about [the policy]. I am in trouble from a business [perspective], but I will rest my body and clean up the store in doing what I can for a while.”

Ok well that's actually a fantastic idea and should be applied literally everywhere
