Kankoukyaku Desu – “I’m a Tourist”
Literal Translation: “I’m a tourist” (Kankoukyaku = “tourist”;
Desu = “…I am”)
Overview: Do you feel like a tourist wherever you go? If so, you are a “kankoukyaku”. “Kankoukyaku Desu” is simply the regular way of saying “I am a tourist” in Japanese, but we just thought that it would be fun to put on a t-shirt. Wear this in Japan and people may come up asking if you need help or directions.
