Hey everybody, welcome to Tsukiji Market behind me is the famous place where the tuna auction used to take place about five, six years ago.

大家好，歡迎來到築地市場，我身後就是五六年前著名的金槍魚拍賣場。

過去簡單式

They moved to Toyosu, this area, the auto market.

他們搬到了豐州，這個地區，汽車市場。

過去進行式

We were wondering what was going to happen to it.

It's become, well, a place of street food for tourists and it's also a place I'm going to kind of feature as positively as I possibly can.

這裡已經成為遊客們品嚐街頭美食的地方，同時也是我要儘可能正面介紹的地方。

This is a part of a two-tier pricing system which we discussed on this channel a couple of months ago.

這是我們幾個月前在本頻道討論過的兩級定價系統的一部分。

Proponents have been talking about the positive effects and why they would do this and people against it have been talking about the cons.

支持者一直在談論積極影響以及他們為什麼要這麼做，而反對者則一直在談論弊端。

People feel quite strongly about this in Japan.

By looking at the prices here, obviously you can tell this is not meant for locals at all.

看看這裡的價格，你就知道這裡根本不是為當地人準備的。

The first place to talk about two-tier pricing system that is somewhat controversial, it just came up in the news a couple of days ago.

首先要談的是有點爭議的兩級定價制度，這是前幾天剛出現的新聞。

It's about Himeji, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, charging an entrance fee increase for non-locals.

這是關於被聯合國教科文組織列為世界遺產的姬路對非當地居民增加門票的問題。

I don't know if that means Japanese in general or just foreign tourists, but the article goes in and says, Himeji City in western Japan, which is near Osaka and Kobe, has decided to review the admission fee for Himeji Castle, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site, as he's considering setting a higher rate for non-local and foreign visitors.

我不知道這是指一般的日本人還是僅僅指外國遊客，但文章接著說，位於日本西部、靠近大阪和神戶的姬路市決定重新審查聯合國教科文組織世界文化遺產姬路城的門票價格，因為他正在考慮為非在地遊客和外國遊客設定更高的門票價格。

I don't know if I qualify as a foreign visitor, Himeji Mayor talks about this and he's considering it right now.

我不知道我是否有資格成為外國遊客，姬路市長談到了這個問題，他現在正在考慮。

It's not guaranteed yet, but when they start to talk about it publicly in the press, it looks like it's possibly going to happen, probably, which gives it a more chance than possibly.

現在還不能保證，但當他們開始在媒體上公開談論這件事時，看起來這件事就有可能會發生，很有可能，這比 "可能 "更有機會。

He said he expects enormous funds will be needed in the future to preserve the cultural site.

他說，預計未來將需要鉅額資金來保護該文化遺址。

He said that there are various expenditures such as securing materials for necessary repairs, nurturing personnel to carry on the skills of the craftsmen and fortifying earthquake resistance.

他說，有各種支出，如確保必要的維修材料、培養繼承工匠技能的人才和加強抗震能力。

They don't say how much it is, but how much they're going to raise it, but right now Himeji

他們沒有說是多少錢，但他們會提高多少，但現在姬路

Castle is 1,000 yen or about $6.50 for international tourists.

城堡的價格為 1,000 日元，約合國際遊客的 6.50 美元。

I don't think it's cheaper for Himeji residents and to be honest with you, there are a lot of places around Japan where they do have this two-tier system for residents of a city, including Tokyo Disneyland, which used to give out discounts for Chiba Prefecture residents because they got some sort of tax breaks, having Disney in Chiba, helping the economy, all this other stuff.

老實說，日本有很多地方都對城市居民實行雙軌制，包括東京迪斯尼樂園，它曾經為千葉縣居民提供折扣，因為他們獲得了某種稅收減免，迪斯尼在千葉，有助於經濟發展，等等。

Apparently Chiba residents back in the day used to get a tax, a second cheaper rate.

顯然，千葉縣居民在過去曾享受過一種稅，即第二種便宜的稅率。

I don't think they do that anymore, but this Himeji Castle thing is something that's going to start off a domino effect where if the yen stays where it is, which is at 158 to the dollar, which is so high, it looks like that this is going to happen and I'll kind of explain to you why.

我認為他們現在不會再這麼做了，但姬路城事件將引發多米諾骨牌效應，如果日元匯率保持在現在的水準，即 1 美元兌 158 日元，這麼高的匯率，看起來這種情況會發生，我會向你們解釋原因。

I mean, NHK did a pretty good job of this story anyways.

我的意思是，無論如何，NHK 在這個故事上做得很好。

You can see Himeji is like one of the big draws here in Japan.

你可以看到，姬路是日本的一大景點。

A lot of tourists go to this area to see this castle and there's a reason why.

很多遊客都會來這裡參觀這座城堡，這是有原因的。

I put a link in the description if you want to check out the full thing, but you get an idea that this is something that's really going to impact tourism in general.

如果你想查看全文，我在說明中提供了一個鏈接，但你可以從中瞭解到這確實會對旅遊業產生影響。

It's just at the start of it, where it goes from here, I'm just not sure, but I can tell you that this market here, Tsukiji Market, is a place that I'm kind of worried about.

現在只是開始，以後會怎樣，我還不清楚，但我可以告訴你，這個市場，築地市場，是一個我有點擔心的地方。

When I look at the fair here, they started to do something which is very worrisome to me.

當我看到這裡的博覽會時，他們開始做一些讓我非常擔憂的事情。

Street food at this price is, that's off the charts.

這種價格的街頭小吃，簡直是天價。

That's just not, 10,000 yen for a skewer of A5 Wagyu, I get it, but look, no Japanese is going to be paying that price for a skewer of Wagyu.

一串 A5 級和牛要 1 萬日元，我明白，但日本人不會花這個錢買一串和牛。

This is just around the corner from here.

They have more inexpensive options to show you, that makes a lot of sense to have a really expensive one and then show you like plan A, B, and C.

他們有更多廉價的選擇可以給你看，這就很有意義了，有一個非常昂貴的選擇，然後再給你看 A、B 和 C 計劃。

All these prices, no local is going to pay 10,000 or even 5,000 yen for a skewer of beef.

這麼高的價格，沒有一個當地人會花 10,000 甚至 5,000 日元來買一串牛肉。

You can get this at the supermarket for like 1,800 yen to 2,000 yen and cook it at home for the same amount of beef, but I got to tell you this.

你可以在超市花 1800 日元到 2000 日元買到這個，然後在家裡烹飪，只需花同樣多的牛肉，但我得告訴你。

If you're coming here to try it and there's nothing wrong with it, you can go ahead and try it and feel okay that the prices seem fair and they're kind of what you would probably get at a restaurant, but you're eating at a street food in Tsukiji market known for fish, which is weird, all right?

如果你是來品嚐它的，而它又沒有什麼問題，你就可以繼續品嚐，並覺得價格公道，和你在餐館吃到的價格差不多，但你是在以魚聞名的築地市場吃街邊小吃，這很奇怪，對嗎？

But again, there's nothing wrong with that.

I think that when you walk around Tsukiji market, this is a place that has become a place for tourists only.

我認為，當你漫步築地市場時，這裡已成為遊客的專屬之地。

I don't see any reason why any Japanese, except perhaps a couple of the shops would come here anymore, but increasingly those shops are selling out and you're seeing tourist shops only, but I got to hand it to them.

除了幾家商店，我看不出還有什麼理由讓日本人再來這裡，但越來越多的商店已經賣光了，你看到的只是旅遊商店，但我不得不佩服他們。

A street food shop that looks like this with that kind of a teppanyaki, a counter, it looks like you're basically at a restaurant.

街頭小吃店看起來就像這樣，有鐵板燒，有櫃檯，看起來就像在餐館裡一樣。

Why you would want to eat it as street food, I'm not sure.

我不知道你為什麼要把它當作街頭食品來吃。

I'm not sure, but I guess it's just the place where you want to try it.

我不確定，但我想這只是你想嘗試的地方。

Walking around here, it closes at around 1 p.m., 12 o'clock, it's usually, it's a morning place, so you're going to be getting your lunch here for 10,000 yen for a stick of beef.

走在這裡，它在下午 1 點或 12 點左右關門，通常是早上關門，所以你會在這裡花 1 萬日元買到一份牛肉棒的午餐。

But hey, again, if you want to try it, go right ahead because if you're paying in dollars, it's still pretty affordable, I think.

不過，還是那句話，如果你想試試，那就來吧，因為如果你用美元支付，我覺得還是很實惠的。

You can see the prices, everything's in English, which is something that a lot of people, that is crazy there, four pieces of fatty tuna for 5,000 yen.

你可以看到價格，所有東西都用英語標明，這讓很多人都感到不可思議，四塊肥金槍魚要 5000 日元。

You can go to Sushi Zanmai and get that for a much more reasonable price, all right?

你可以去 Sushi Zanmai 以更合理的價格買到，好嗎？

As far as I know, I don't know, I didn't hear about a price increase like that.

據我所知，我不知道，我沒有聽說過這樣的漲價。

Again, like you're paying for tourist prices here, and the two-tier system is already here.

同樣，就像你在這裡支付的是遊客價格一樣，這裡已經有了雙軌制。

Look, they raised the, did they lower or raise the price on there?

聽著，他們提高了價格，是降低了還是提高了？

I gotta peel that away, but this is another Wagyu place.

我得把它剝開，但這是另一家和牛店。

Again, it looks really clean and good, and heck, you know, you want to try the food, there it is for you.

同樣，它看起來真的很乾淨、很不錯，而且，你知道，如果你想嚐嚐美食，它就在那裡等著你。

I encourage you to do that, but the two-tier pricing system is here, and you can see it in the foods that they're serving here at Tsukiji Market.

我鼓勵你們這樣做，但兩級定價制度就在這裡，你們可以從築地市場的食品中看到。

Now, if we take a look at an article on the Nikkei Asia, I read this this morning, it kind of worried me.

現在，如果我們看看《日經亞洲》上的一篇文章，我今天早上讀到的這篇文章讓我有點擔心。

This just came out, Japanese restaurants explore charging foreign tourists more.

日本餐廳探索向外國遊客收取更高的費用。

Two-tier prices could help businesses take advantage of the weaker yen.

兩級價格有助於企業利用日元疲軟的優勢。

Before I get into it, I mean, do I want to talk about this a little bit?

在我進入正題之前，我是說，我想先談談這個問題嗎？

Before I get into it, I guess I could say a couple of things here.

在進入正題之前，我想我可以先說幾件事。

Foreign tourists typically eat more food, and if it's an all-you-can-eat place, foreign tourists will typically put more on their plate, and foreign tourists typically waste more food.

外國遊客通常會吃更多的食物，如果是自助餐廳，外國遊客通常會在盤子裡放更多的食物，外國遊客通常會浪費更多的食物。

And I'm talking about neighboring countries as well as Americans and North Americans.

我說的是鄰國以及美國人和北美人。

I've gone to a buffet, and I've seen the plates make like a mountain.

我去過自助餐廳，看到盤子堆得像座山。

Japanese almost never do something like that.

It's just not heard of, I've never heard of that before.

只是沒聽說過，我從來沒聽說過。

So charging some tourists more prices, it seems to make a little bit of sense at a buffet, but in general, the weaker yen is really hurting businesses that aren't expanded into overseas markets collecting dollars.

是以，向一些遊客收取更高的價格，在自助餐廳似乎有點道理，但總的來說，日元走軟確實傷害了那些沒有向海外市場擴張、收取美元的企業。

Many restaurants that are overseas can kind of balance it out because they're making a killing in places like Sushiro, Kaiten Sushi Chain, opened up restaurants in Texas and

許多海外餐廳可以平衡一下，因為它們在一些地方賺得盆滿缽滿，如 Sushiro、Kaiten 壽司連鎖店，它們在得克薩斯州開設了餐廳。

The price for a dollar of sushi is, a 100-yen sushi, that's a huge difference.

一美元的壽司和 100 日元的壽司價格相差懸殊。

That's like, what is that, like 33% more or 40% more.

這就像，這是什麼，像33％以上或40％以上。

They probably could charge a little bit more on top of that.

他們或許可以在此基礎上再多收點錢。

That makes sense because sushi has a very luxurious appeal.

這是有道理的，因為壽司具有非常奢華的吸引力。

In the article here, these businesses that are thinking of charging tourists more, I don't think that they really have much of a choice.

在這篇文章中，這些考慮向遊客收取更多費用的商家，我認為他們真的沒有太多選擇。

Japan's population is declining, foreign tourists are coming in here.

日本人口正在減少，外國遊客紛紛湧入。

When Japanese customers aren't coming in, that means your regulars aren't coming in.

日本顧客不來，就意味著你的常客不來。

Japan's restaurant industry is deploying a two-tiered pricing system in tourist spots as eateries look to cash in on an influx of foreign visitors without alienating local customers.

日本餐飲業正在旅遊景點採用兩級定價制度，因為餐飲店希望在不疏遠在地顧客的情況下，從大量湧入的外國遊客中獲利。

Toyosu Senkyaku Banrai, which we've been to a couple of times, a dining and leisure facility with a traditional motif, opened in February next to Toyosu Market, a large public wholesale market for fish and other goods in Tokyo.

豐洲 Senkyaku Banrai（我們去過幾次）是一個以傳統為主題的餐飲休閒設施，於今年 2 月在豐洲市場（東京的一個大型魚類和其他商品公共批發市場）旁邊開業。

The facilities, approximately 50 restaurants are bustling with foreign tourists these days, but workers and shoppers from the wholesale market are few and far between.

這些設施中約有 50 家餐廳，如今外國遊客熙熙攘攘，但來自批發市場的工人和購物者卻寥寥無幾。

I put a link to the article in the description of this video.

我在這段視頻的描述中提供了文章鏈接。

Basically, restaurant owners, the supplies have gone up, the amount of locals who come in and eat at the restaurant has gone down because of the declining population.

基本上，餐館老闆的供應量增加了，但由於人口減少，來餐館就餐的本地人卻減少了。

More tourists come in, they don't order the same amount of foods, and they don't come back.

遊客來得多了，他們點的食物就不一樣多了，也就不會再來了。

And that's creating, like, what do you do to stay in business here?

這就產生了一個問題，比如，你怎麼做才能在這裡繼續做生意？

Without upsetting your local base, which is declining when you need them, and not upsetting the tourists as well.

既不影響當地的遊客，因為在你需要他們的時候，當地遊客卻在減少，又不影響遊客。
