They are tourists with that ‘We were here, hooray!’ mentality. I used to get the same request from American tourists who visited London or Hong Kong. It’s a group of people, having fun, visiting different places and wanting to remember that yeah, they were all there.

Then again, there’s a slightly more complex answer involving the isolationist nature of Japan, the supposed freedom of being able to leave an island where 60-hour workweeks are the norm, and the desire to keep memories of their ‘escape’ as handy as possible, but I think the professor who taught me that is full of it. Seriously, I can’t think of a set of vacation photographs I’ve seen where the vast majority of the photos weren’t of my friends (Asian or otherwise) in front of various locales. If I want pretty scenic pictures, I’ll buy a postcard. Sometimes, a rose is a rose, yeah?
