Youtube ad popping up recently:

With the human population declining in Japan, why not expand your market to other customers?

Beautiful advert.

That's a nice change from those godaweful happy-go-lucky Mitsubishu Jisho commercials.

Lovely advert.... Is it sponsored by the onsen, or by JR/ private rail companies? Smart monkeys ~

 

Now, why would the snow monkeys wanna go to Tokyo for onsen when Tokyorians are going to Nagano for real natural Onsens?  :)

Ah, but it is a real natural onsen, the source discovered during excavation work for a new building near Tokyo station being constructed by the aforementioned Mitsubishi Jisho, so they decided to make an attraction out of it. I think Mitsubishi own a lot of the land on the land on the Marunouchi side of the station. And as Toni says, it's an improvement over their usual irritating ads.

Hello,

 

The advertisement almost had me fooled ... until I realized there was no way that monkey's colleagues would have given him the time off work ... so that monkey must be an actor!!!
