Introduction
The degree of globalization of various megacities may be evaluated using a wide range of metrics. The major factor, in my opinion, is whether or not one can communicate easily in a certain society. This involves not only a simple ability to interact with the locals but also being able to navigate through the city (Ushakov, 2019).
Discussion
From personal experience, I was surprised to notice that many individuals in Tokyo appeared indifferent when I returned from my trip. Such a setting will never draw in profitable outside investments, tourists, and trades and, therefore, requires reforms. According to my theory, our body and mind’s internal dynamics are stimulated when we are impacted by others. Similar to how globalization occurs when interaction with foreigners triggers a physiological reaction in our bodies and minds. Tokyo will undoubtedly gain more attention on a global scale if it serves as a catalyst for such dynamics and chemical interactions between visitors and native Japanese people.
Creating social areas with a range of consumer services available is the first step. Such locations will draw a large number of people, generating activity that will attract tourists from abroad. Personally, I believe that Kasai Rinkai Park may be modified to hold events for music, dancing, sports, jogging, arts, and cultural activities. We may provide ideas for making things more lively and entice foreign businesses to invest. With more places gaining more popularity and attraction, the desire to monetize such activities will occur, which is beneficial to the local economy. The next phase is to improve the user-friendliness of transfer signals. Travelers frequently get lost when switching between means of public transportation. Along with a straightforward English message, place a QR code so people may download extra information to their smartphones. This way, the public system will be less complicated, and tourists will be less stressed.
Moreover, it is worth mentioning that video tutorials explaining how to complete different forms and official documents and how to collect various taxes for those foreigners permanently or temporarily residing in Tokyo can be published. A lack of an intricate bureaucratic system will be more attractive to foreigners. Finally, children from Japanese elementary schools can communicate with students from elementary schools abroad, for instance, by cooperating in an art or music lesson using Skype or Zoom. Young minds will undergo molecular changes as a result of early exposure to different cultures, which will ultimately result in a more prosperous future in international commerce.
Conclusion
Hence, I am confident that by completing the aforementioned four measures, Tokyo’s dynamics will improve, increasing its prominence as a global capital. Numerous megacities’ levels of globalization may be assessed using a variety of indicators. Whether or not one can communicate readily in a given society, in my opinion, is the key aspect. Being able to explore the city is just as important as being able to communicate with the natives. The first stage in making Japan more appealing is to develop social places with a variety of consumer services available. The next step is to make transfer signals more user-friendly. It is also important to note that videos with instructions on how to fill out various forms and official papers, as well as how to collect various taxes for foreigners who live in Tokyo permanently or temporarily, might be uploaded. Finally, children from elementary schools in Japan can speak with those in primary schools abroad to create linguistic exposure.
