That may very well be true, but I find it difficult to understand why people won't attempt to learn the language of the place they are staying in. It will only be beneficial... I mean, don't they want to travel outside of their living/working zone?
Don't get me wrong, one can definitely travel as a tourist around Japan with the most basic Japanese skills, or none at all, I mean, they've made mos places as tourist friendly as possible, but it will definitely be a good thing to know the language too....
