are finding it hard to share the sentiment.

I wanted to travel overseas, but

the yen is too weak right now.

6:27

We got married this year. I

6:29

really want to travel overseas, but

6:32

it's not that easy now. This

6:36

couple from Japan is visiting Hawaii for

6:38

a week. They've been shocked by the

6:40

cost of activities like dining. This

6:42

lunch they had cost 18 dollars each. At

6:45

158 yen to the dollar, the meal for

6:47

two comes to 5,600 yen. We

6:52

sometimes skip breakfast and just a brunch

6:54

to save on dining costs. And

6:56

sometimes our breakfast is instant food we

6:58

bought from Japan. If

7:02

the exchange rate gets even a little better, our

7:05

trip would be much easier. The

7:12

week yen is driving a change among

7:14

holidaymakers heading overseas. It prompted

7:18

for his vacation. I

7:21

normally travel to Europe or Australia around this

7:23

time, but not this year since the yen

7:25

is so weak. A

7:28

survey by major travel agency JTB showed

7:31

more than 70 percent of

7:33

respondents saying they won't be going on

7:35

overnight trips. It says more

people are citing economic challenges compared to

7:39

last year. Among

7:42

the people traveling domestically during this year's

7:44

spring holidays are volunteer workers, a number

7:46

of whom are heading for Ishikawa Prefecture,

7:48

which is still recovering from the New

7:53
