Features of Japan that are different from other countries
Today, I want to introduce some special features foreign visitors might notice and feel while visiting Japan.
(1) Small number of homeless people and drug addicts
The number of homeless people in urban areas of Japan is relatively low, and you do not see many people with problematic behaviors, especially related to drugs.
(2) Clean Environment
There is little to no garbage in the streets of Japan, and the smell of raw waste is barely noticeable. This is because separating trash and properly disposing trash is deeply rooted in the culture of Japan.
(3) Tipping is unnecessary
In Japan, leaving tips at restaurants and service establishments is not customary. Therefore, there is no need to pay a service charge separately.
(4) Excellent Customer Service
Customer service in Japan is often said to be the best in the world. Employees are courteous and helpful.
(5) Quiet Restaurants
Not many people talk loudly in restaurants. Considering one's surroundings is generally important, and a quiet atmosphere is preferred.
(6) Less Crime
There are relatively few incidents involving guns in Japan. This is because Japan is known as a safe country.
(7) Manners on the road
Turn signals are properly used when making a turn or changing lanes. It is also widely enforced on highways to only use the passing lanes for overtaking.
Please let us know if you have experienced any other cultures or customs that you think are unique to Japan.
