McDonald’s Japan is bracing for another Happy Meal disaster as Sanrio-themed toys hit stores this week.

Scalpers have repeatedly bought up toys meant for kids, flipping them online for huge profits.

The problem grew so bad during Pokémon promotions that McDonald’s apologized and postponed a planned One Piece card release.

To prevent chaos, the chain will ban app and delivery orders, only allow in-person purchases, and cap groups at three Happy Meals.

The new rules apply to Sanrio’s My Melody and Kuromi toys, as well as other limited sets.

But the restrictions will only last one day, raising fears scalpers will still clean out stock.

Fans worry real customers with jobs, school, or families won’t stand a chance against professional resellers.

With sales lasting just four days, many believe McDonald’s Japan is setting up another scalping nightmare.

TOURISTS BANNED IN GUNDAM MUSEUM, JAPAN (for now)

Bandai Spirits has opened a new Gundam museum in Shizuoka, Japan, but for now, only Japanese residents can enter. Foreign tourists are not allowed to visit at this time.

Tickets for the BHCPDII Museum, which gives fans a behind-the-scenes look at how Gundam model kits are made, went on sale on June 2. However, visitors must first join a lottery by June 30 for a chance to buy tickets.

The full ticketing details reveal restrictions that effectively prevent foreign tourists from applying. This is likely a temporary measure to manage high demand following the museum’s launch.

新宿駅は世界で最も利用者数の多い駅としてギネス世界記録に認定されており、2022年の統計によると1日あたり270万人以上の乗降客が利用しています。東京の巨大な交通ハブである新宿駅は、複数の鉄道会社が乗り入れ、200以上の出入口を備えており、これが記録的な乗降客数に貢献しています。

The Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, holds the Guinness World Record as the oldest hotel still in operation. Founded in 705 A.D., it has been run by the same family for over 52 generations, offering travelers the healing power of natural hot springs for more than 1,300 years.

Its secret to survival? Tradition and renewal. While the building has been renovated over the centuries, the spirit of Japanese hospitality—omotenashi—remains unchanged. Samurai, shoguns, emperors, and modern-day visitors have all soaked in the same mineral-rich waters, making the hotel a living piece of history where the past flows into the present.

Japan crossed the 10 million visitor mark at the fastest-ever pace this year, reaching that level already in March, official data showed on April 16, as the weak yen propelled an unprecedented tourism boom.

Arrivals of foreign visitors for business and leisure reached 3.5 million last month, bringing the total through the first quarter to 10.54 million, data from the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) showed.

Last year, Japan reached 10 million visitors in April.

日本の北海道、雪深い田園地帯で、思いやりの心が政策へと変わりました。❄️🚉
鉄道職員は、辺鄙な上白滝駅を利用する乗客が原田加奈さんだけであることを知りましたが、駅を閉鎖しないことを選択しました。その代わりに、3年間、列車は1日に2回停車しました。1回は彼女を学校へ送り届けるため、もう1回は彼女を帰宅させるためです。🎓
2016年3月、駅はついに閉鎖されました。まさに加奈さんが卒業した月でした。
彼女の物語は、優しさ、教育への敬意、そして利益よりも人を優先する姿勢の象徴として、世界中に広まりました。🌍✨
時に、小さな思いやりの行為が歴史に残る大きな足跡を残すのです。

In the snowy countryside of Hokkaido, Japan, compassion turned into policy. ❄️🚉
When railway officials discovered that Kana Harada was the only passenger using the remote Kami-Shirataki Station, they chose not to close it. Instead, for three years, a train stopped twice a day—once to take her to school, and once to bring her home. 🎓
In March 2016, the station finally closed, the very same month Kana graduated.
Her story became a global symbol of kindness, respect for education, and putting people above profit. 🌍✨
Sometimes, the smallest acts of compassion leave the largest tracks in history.

日本では、特に都市部では、夫婦が別々のベッド、あるいは寝室で寝ることが驚くほど一般的です。調査によると、結婚したカップルの約26%から40%が、いびきや睡眠時間の差といった邪魔を避け、途切れることのない休息を得られることを重視して、この寝方を選んでいます。質の高い睡眠を重視することは文化的な規範であり、夫婦関係の不和の兆候ではありません。また、日本の離婚率（現在1,000人あたり約1.8人）の低さにも寄与している可能性があります。

In Japan, it's surprisingly common for couples—especially in cities—to sleep in separate beds or even bedrooms. Surveys show about 26% to 40% of married couples choose this arrangement, valuing the uninterrupted rest that comes from avoiding disturbances like snoring or differing sleep schedules. This focus on quality sleep is a cultural norm, not a sign of marital trouble—and may even contribute to Japan’s low divorce rate, currently around 1.8 per 1,000 people.
