Highest International Standards my butt!!!
http://search.japantimes.co.jp/print/fl20060704zg.htmlThe nation's largest discount travel agency, HIS, which also runs """foreigner-friendly""" No.1 Travel, has based the price of some air tickets from Japan on the nationality of the traveler, possibly in breach of Japanese law, The Japan Times has learned.
Foreigners trying to buy discount tickets through the company were quoted higher prices than Japanese customers purchasing discount seats on the same flight.
I can attest to this - I have often gotten ripped of when it comes to plane tickets. Once a woman at JTB screwed me over and I had to pay 120,000yen just to go to Taiwan (a mere three hours away by plane). I was seething over the incident and have NEVER gone back since. IACE travel in Tsukuba, however, has always given me fair and reasonable prices.
