For some reason Alaska is a really big tourist destination for the Japanese.

As a matter of fact, you see the occasional Australian or Brit, but the majority of our (foreign) tourists are the Japanese.


A giant tour bus comes through town probably once a week, and the Japanese spill out in huge camera-clad, sneaker wearing, postcard buying hordes.

For the most part they are all old and unresponsive.
