Lake Kawaguchi, one of the Fuji Five Lakes, attracts many foreign tourists because it can overlook Mount Fuji. At the end of February this year, the Japanese media Shukan Hyundai reported that a man named Inoue (pseudonym) bought landto build a town on the shores of Lake Kawaguchi in Yamanashi Prefecture, however, the Chinese-funded hotel next door wanted to allow guests to see Mount Fuji. Now more than a month has passed After the Japanese media reported on it, what happened to this Chinese-owned hotel? Did Inoue receive compensation?
Chinese people do not understand common sense
“Late last year, the branches of the hinoki cypress were cut down by the Chinese-funded hotel next door, and one hinoki cypress that had been planted with herbicide to rot and fall. There were 20 rotten hinoki trees. It is the work of the hotel that is financed by China. If the tree falls and damages the surrounding area, it is the responsibility to me as the owner So, for the safety of the surrounding area, I have no choice but to cut down other hinoki trees.
According to Shukan Hyundai, the shock above came from Inoue, who chose Lake Kawaguchi to build his town because he could see Mount Fuji.
In recent years, the Chinese capital has experienced an acceleration of hotels and inns in tourist areas with panoramic views of Mount Fuji, but local residents have been involved in several disputes. Most of the reasons for disputes are that Chinese owners ignore Japanese common sense and use mainland Chinese feelings to force things to improve.
The owner of the hotel does not speak Japanese and runs a Japanese school and museum
Inoue looked back on the controversies he was involved in. The report indicated that Inoue, who used to run various businesses, bought a small town in the highlands overlooking Mount Fuji and used it as a retirement home.
However, Inoue’s neighbor, a Chinese-owned hotelier, illegally invaded Inoue’s land and cut down hinoki cypress branches because “these trees are yours and they will stop us from seeing Mount Fuji. “
Chinese funded hotels that do not understand Japanese common sense have done more than just the above actions that are far from common sense. The hotel, which received funding from China, drilled holes about 2 centimeters in diameter into the roots of trees that had been cut down without permission, and then poured herbicide into them , causing the trees to rot.
This Chinese hotel is located in Fujikawaguchiko City It was opened in December 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The main business group is Company M, headed by Mr A. In addition to the hotels mentioned above, Mr. A also owns a whiskey museum and a Japanese language school that specializes in selling Japanese whiskey.
Inoue said: “I didn’t know it was a Chinese-owned hotel at first, but I found out later. Its common name is A, and he and his wife are both Chinese. A didn’t stay that long, and I can’t speak Japanese.”
A resident near the hotel in China said: “The owner of the hotel exudes an aura of nouveau riche. Although I have not seen him recently, he used to drive a young woman who visit in turn.”
How did the hotel respond after more than a month of exposure?
The previous relevant reports of “Weekly Modern” raised a wide response from the outside world Even on the Chinese news website “NetEase News”, it was translated into Chinese and the report mentioned the local response in China, and many people said that the hotel was “very bad”.
Although more than a month has passed since the press report was published, did the hotel respond in good faith? Inoue said: “After the report, the hotel continued to operate as if nothing had happened. This Chinese-owned hotel is aimed at foreign tourists, and there are very few Japanese guests. Customers from China, Taiwan and South East Asia They probably didn’t. knew about this dispute, so they came to see each other, and the hotel business was very successful.”
Inoue said, “After removing 20 rotting hinoki trees due to herbicides, the hotel might have a better view of Mount Fuji from inside the hotel than it was before, so it could satisfy foreign tourists. I didn’t expect it. This is how it was. things opened according to their will.”
But on the other hand, Inoue pointed out: “Without apologizing, the hotel does not even have a sincere response yet. Seeing that the hotel continues to work safely and full of foreign tourists, I feel sad and sad. , it’s really hard to sort out that kind of mood.”
Reports from hotel staff
Although Chinese-owned hotels appear to be thriving on the outside, things are slowly changing on the inside. According to reports, Inoue is not the only person who is angry about the rude behavior of Chinese-funded hotels. Of course, there are people in the hotel who are also angry.
Hotel worker X said: “I knew that the branches were cut off between the end of 2021 and January 2022. Regarding chemicals, although I noticed that the boss and others were doing some work on the land. the neighbor at that time, I didn’t expect it to be poisoning.”
X continued: “As for killing trees, in May 2022, I noticed that the leaves turned reddish brown. The surrounding trees were obviously green, but only those trees with cut branches were turning. brown every day, appearing strange at the time, I thought, “Maybe they poisoned the tree.” When I found out later that this was true, sent I’m surprised and scared.”
X said: “The surrounding workers are also suspicious of the boss’s behaviour. However, no one has ever spoken about it.”
Japanese workers are leaving one after another
Of course, it is a crime of destruction to cut down other people’s trees at will, and it is a criminal offense to invade other people’s land. In fact, the hotel staff knew this was a crime, but they couldn’t reveal it.
X pointed out: “There is a complete gag order within the staff. However, this is obviously an unusual situation. I thought at the time, ‘Whatever, this is going too far. I’ll just keep quiet, okay. ? ? I was very worried about whether I should report it, But, as a hotel worker, I felt sad and ashamed of the criminal facts.”
In addition, according to X, “Almost half of the employees, mostly Japanese, have resigned from the hotel.”
The hotel refused its obligations and he could not get through the phone calls and could not find anyone.
A reporter from “Weekly Modern” called the Chinese-owned hotel again and asked: “Can you raise the person in charge? to the media inquiry, 1 The Japanese woman continued to replied after confirming with her boss jumping the needle and said: “All matters are handled by the head office.”
The reporter from “Weekly Hyundai” continued to ask: “During the previous interview, the head office could not be contacted by phone, and the head office did not respond to emails .Do you have anyone who can handle it?” he replied: “Leave everything to our company.”
The reporter asked: “Where is your boss?” The Japanese woman replied: “He should be at headquarters.” The reporter asked again: “My neighbor Inoue is very haggard now. What do you think as a worker?” A Japanese woman replied: “No. Sorry.”
Japanese women seem to be difficult and keep apologizing. On the other hand, the reporter contacted Company M, which operates the hotel, but as expected, no one answered the phone and no response was given to the email.
The hotel manager was angry: I don’t know anything.
A reporter from “Weekly Modern” visited the area at the end of March and saw that not only Asian tourists, but also European and American tourists also visit the hotel. was financed by a Chinese, that they could see from the balcony of the room through a telephoto lens. Photographing Mount Fuji.
Not only Inoue, but other residents around them seem to be dissatisfied with this hotel. It’s not just Inoue who is being casually cut down.
After the reporter visited this Chinese-owned hotel and applied for an interview, a Chinese male employee who was a member of the board of directors of the parent company M Company, however, revealed that whatever asked the reporter, the Chinese man would almost always say: “I don’t know anything.”
The reporter asked: “I would like to ask about the hotel cutting down Inoue’s hinoki without permission and injecting herbicides.” The Chinese man replied: “I don’t know anything. Ask the head office.”
The reporter asked: “We can’t get through to headquarters. Where’s your boss?” The Chinese man replied: “I don’t know where he is.” The reporter asked again: “You’re also from headquarters, right?” The Chinese man replied: “I don’t know anything.”
Later, when the Chinese man urged the reporter to leave the hotel, the Chinese man turned his attention to Inoue’s neighbor’s house outside the door, said as if there was nothing to do: “Things like cutting down trees and other things, it seems that there (Inoue’s house) is not the same.” It is very hard.”
After that, the reporter visited M Company in Tokyo again, and the female workers there still said: “The boss is not here. Hotel? He has nothing to do with us! “
police response
Inoue decided to appeal again. Inoue said: “At first, I wanted to resolve this kind of dispute between neighbors through private conversations. I didn’t want to tell the media. However, the hotel was too immoral. Although I also talked to the police , said The The situation has not improved.
Inoue said: “It’s rare to build a village, but my family is too worried to visit it. I don’t know what to do. So this time I decided to ask the media for help. It was a surprise to receive such a response.” an echo.”
Finally, Inoue said: “‘Bad things are bad things.’
