    if you look at japanese restaurants in google maps, most of them are rated at 3 stars. japanese never give 5 stars at most its 4, and they will give lower for even the slightest inconveniences. if you see 4 stars above then that means there’s a lot of tourists frequent there.

    source, i’ve been there twice and was dumbfounded

      Japanese people understand that average means 2-3 stars lol

      Rating things 4-5 stars, or 7-8/10 on average makes way less sense to me
