I Went To Japan To See What The Hype Was All About



I Went To Japan To See What The Hype Was All About

Japan has been called the best place to live on Earth – due to its economy, quality of life and safety. We spent a month traveling in Japan to find out what the secret is – how do they live, what is Japan doing right and what would it be like to live there? (And the United States will never figure it out).

    💯 In Japan, they have the belief that "Our Japanese culture is a good culture, let's keep it that way!" We should be learning from them.
    Also, how do you like how quit it is on the trains? No loud talking or screaming!

    Japan is great because they are not "diverse" culturally. They are basically one race, one culture. I have a friend who is an urban planner and she's always pushing "mass transit" as a solution to the U.S, transportation issues and I told her no way will it ever work here because of all the crime and safety issues. Just look at the NYC subway system, the buses in places like Las Vegas or anything in the U.S. where more than one person is. Dirt, crime, etc.

    I don't know what Japan you went to. I lived in Japan in 1985. My rent was 900.00 a month. To move in you had to have your 1st and last plus a deposit. And less not forget the extra 900.00 you had to give to the home owner to thank them for living in there house. A small water melon was 40 dollars in 1985!. A big Mac at McDonald's was 12 bucks. It cost me 5.00 a gallon for gas in 85. Sooooo I don't know what Japan you were in. Hope you went all around Tokyo most of the old men sleep in a tent on the sidewalks or a pod. And by the way they do not put crimes in the news paper. If someone killed their whole family the only way you would hear about it was word of mouth. Now they have online but they don't broadcast bad crimes. In the 80s no online. And the people in Japan will hide their families dirty business. They are to worried about what others think.

    Apparently because of social changes and work obligations there is an incredible amount of loneliness and isolation, especially with young men, some of which spend their whole lives alone in front of a computer. Lots of lonely old people who die alone. There are companies that specialize in cleaning up the mess left by dead bodies that have been laying in their homes for months on end…

    日本を取り上げていただき、ありがとうございます😊日本ては、子供の時から「悪いことはしてはいけない。お天道様が見ている」と教えられます。誰も見ていなくても、天の道に背いてはいけない。悪いことをすれば、必ず自分に返ってくる。誰も見ていなくても、綺麗にする、他人に迷惑をかけない、困っている人を助けるなどを学んで育ちます。なので、例えば、イスラム教徒の方がみんなの公園である場所を大勢で陣取り、我が物顔でお祈りしている事が受け入れられないんです😢

    My parents and I lived in a cold water flat in Tachikawa AFB base in Tokyo in the 60's. There was a gross community benjo ditch where locals would use for bathing and obtaining water. My dad said there would be someone taking a piss upstream while downstream someone would be washing their vegetables. My mother had to carry an umbrella to protect her and I when she would take me for a walk. Japanese women despised the white women and would pelt rocks at her. I'm assuming things have changed in 60 years because I never went back.

    Lived in Osaka for 15 years. Left because Covid restrictions and mask requirements were insane. Those “stand up urinals” are squat toilets. Japan was much nicer before and American men were treated like rock stars by Japanese women, expecially in the countryside. Now, due to the low yen, and over-tourism, there is a growing resentment.

    Some of those houses look huge! Do they have their entire families living in one house?
    I think that some Americans don't know what respect is? Somewhere American moral of has been forgotten! Your right Nick! Too many kids are being raised by phones while their parents are either working or on the street doing drugs!
