If you were to visit Japan, would you go to McDonald's?

[Tyrien]

Why wouldn't I? The menu is localized so it wouldn't be the same as the McDonalds I could go to here.

i heard people sleep at mcdonald's when they miss their train home. hmm..who did i hear that from.. =_= but to answer the question, yes, yes i would.

[Nyororin]

We go... fairly often? I`d say 2 or 3 times a month, though less recently.

Why? Because it`s cheaper than picking up something at a conbini - and hot on top of that. You could pay 240 yen for a hot sandwich at a conbini, or get one for 105 at McDonalds. If you`re on your way home at a late hour and want to save money but still have something hot to eat - I see nothing wrong with it.

Many people here work 100 hours of overtime each month, so I wouldn't call them lazy. Most have no time to cook.

And, if you've ever seen the kitchen facilities in a Tokyo apartment (sink too small to put a dinner plate in, a single burner electric stove which takes 20 minutes to boil water, and a refrigerator only big enough for a 6 pack of beer), you would understand why so few here people cook.

But not everyone in Japan lives in Tokyo?

But anyways;
Answering the question...
sure, why not?
I mean, low on money and want something fast,
sounds fine to me.

Tiny kitchens are the norm for pretty much all single room apartments in Japan. Even large kitchens will come with only a 3 burner stove and a fish broiler. Single people do not cook in Japan, as a rule.

Fast food is a way of life here, even in small towns young people will buy prepared meals at the local convenience or grocery store. The usual is the typical Obento box lunch. God knows I eat these things at least 5 times a week.

When I visited Korea, I found Korean McDonald has different taste from Japanese one.

I recommend you to try Japanese McDonald for checking your sensitivity of taste.

[StangGuy]

During the 6 months I was there last year I went 3 times.
The first time was just to see if it had a different taste. The burgers did but the fries were the same. I think they used different sauces on the Big Mac.
The third time I had one of the local sandwiches that isn't on the US menu.

As for why would you go? Sometimes you just want a burger just like sometimes you want some good sushi or soba.
