EDIT: The survey is closed now, thanks everyone!

Hey Fediverse,

my girlfriend is conducting a survey on overtourism in Japan for her bachelor's degree and would love a few more participants.

If you visited Japan as a tourist or were living there as a permanent or temporary resident since 2023 please fill out the survey, it only takes about 10 minutes!

Boosts are much appreciated!
Thank you and have a wonderful day!
