A burger, chips and a couple beers in Outback Makuhari would cost ¥2860 if you wanted cheese on your burger add an extra ¥50. Not quite the ¥10000 ... you'd need more than a few beers @ ¥780 to take the bill that high.

I'd like to see more safety barriers at stations.

Smartacus, I said
to the people who already have dismissed all + 1 million parents living in Japan on this post, and to the people who will, based on what they have read and seen in passing.
I've just returned to Japan, and have been living in Japan for just 6 months. In that short amount of time I've met some good Japanese families and parents. Smartacus and womanforwoman, from your comments you've been close to Japan for some time, yet you don't have a good thing to say for your friends and family who have children?

Are any of these Japanese parents, people that you know?
Too many 'commentators' are dismissive of people and the world around them. Grow some humanity people!

I suggest if you have any interest in Japan you change aspects of your life, because with that outlook your probably not see the country as I do.
I spent some time this sunday with a Japanese family, mum, dad and three young girls. Mum and Dad did a great job, the kids looked happy, a good example of a happy family.
I know a few other Japanese families, including my brother-in-laws (a family of four kids), I don't notice any difference from the families I know in other countries. The parents I know in Japan are doing a good job.
Saying that though I do think more awareness should be made regarding seat belts, for both children and adults. From my personal experience in Japan it could be better. There are a lot of road safety commercials in England, they show the consequences of driving without a seat belt, drink driving, that kind of thing. The commercials are quite graphic, and have a strong influence.

There's always a kid with a DS in some family restaurant, a sad sight to see. This looks like another ploy by Mcdonalds to target children.

My opinion is that it's low and cheap to post heartless comments regarding the death of a child, and to attribute blame on the parents envolved.

Without knowing the full story or knowing the family, you can attribute blame? Just who are you?
