Canadian Railroads > Japanese, Korean views of Canada?

Specifically, from the domes of the Canadian and Rocky, etc.

I can't imagine Japanese etc visitors are enjoying their internment on days late trains in the Canadian west. Great scenery and wonderful service, but that wears thin after 40 hours

What is being written about Via in the foreign press and travel sites? I expect it must be laceration...

Interestingly, since the downtown in the Japanese economy some years ago, the number of Japanese visiting Canada has declined and not recovered.

Chinese tourism is way up, however most seem to prefer guided bus tours operated by Asian-Canadian tour operators. There are also Korean tour bus companies.

The Japanese economy, according to the Wall Street Journal, is booming. The downturn of the past two decades may be behind us.
