"

Japanese civil servants' business trips calculated travel expenses and accommodation expenses based on the travel expenses issued in 1950.At that time, the standard of 20,000 yen housing fees at that time remained unchanged. It was more than enough to live in a luxury hotel in that era.20,000 yen may only live in the suburbs of New York.
Some Japanese civil servants vomit bitter water and said, "Less than 20,000 yen, it is basically impossible to stay in a decent hotel. For my own safety, I sometimes pay my own pocket."

When seeing its own spending power decline in other countries, it is likely to inspire the Japanese's determination to work hard.
