>>10545045>are japanese people kind to hitchhikers and hobosVery, very much so. Rarely had to wait more than 10 minutes for a ride, and every kind of person picked me up. I'm a 186cm burly white dude, so came as a surprise as well.
Probably helped that when I was hitchhiking, I wore a t-shirt that said "DON'T PANIC" in large, friendly letters. Helped break the ice.
