Also in Japan they have nap time so the employees are praised for taking one, to be more efficient and the public transport are responsible for any time of being late to the employees

You can be “Japanese” where you live. It’s ok to be orderly, generous, attentive to others, clean, courteous, honest, peaceful, kind, loving, patience, etc., even if others around you aren’t.

It all seems to revolve around one concept : RESPECT. ... for other people ... for the environment ... for yourself ... for all the life around you.

I was stationed in Sasebo on Kyushu during my Navy career. The three things I remember the most fondly are the unfailing courtesy of strangers, learning tea ceremony and the fact that you can buy almost ANYTHING from a vending machine. 😁 I miss the hot canned coffee, it was really good. Also, only in Japan would bus drivers go on strike but continue to drive without taking fares. Brilliant.

A life goal for me has been to visit Japan. Because I’m now too sick to travel, I cried when I watched this beautiful compilation. Thank you

You know you’ve lived in Japan too long when you see a huge truck carrying a giant robot- and think it’s normal.

Since visiting Kyoto and Osaka , I admired their clean environment, their discipline , and honesty.

If you fly ANA or Japan Airlines and happen to be near a window facing the terminal, you can see the ground crew line up and bow to the plane as it is towed out.....rain or shine.

Those bus drivers are geniuses! Driving their routes but not take the fares. That'll get the public on their side! Fans cleaning the stadium after a game, pride.

School kids in Japan clean their classrooms everyday. If the westerners would incorporate such a measure, people will become willing and capable fans who clean after their favorite games. It doesn't take away jobs for the janitors. There are plenty of tasks for them to do. And I'm sure thei will appreciate it if the students learn to tidy after theor school work and to learn from young age how a mess they create will just increase the cleaning work they have to do later. The whole population of Japan know this.

The USA is too individualistic, there needs to be a balance between the need of the individual and the community. Japan seems to have an attitude of kindness in the public sphere, so admirable.

That's it! I am moving to Japan, where the whimsy never stops and everything is neat and clean!! Beautiful!

Japan is such an endlessly fascinating country and culture. Wonderful!

5:40 That is not trying to figure out Xmas. That is mastering it at 5:33

Impressive on many levels! The US should learn from them.😳😊😮

Yes even the homeless keeps the streets clean, and there’s no janitors in the schools because the students are responsible for keeping it clean as well the way it should be ❤

This is why I ❤❤❤ Japan. I lived there three years as a child when my dad was stationed there.

5:43 I think they nailed it! Nobody does it better. Japanese excels! 👏 Honor is still an important word in Japan. Poor rest of the world. 😢

Seeing this makes me homesick 😢 I live and work in NYC right now - total opposite.

I think the rest of the world should be more like Japan !

Thank you for sharing this wonderful view of Japan! ❤

The cat bus and the manhole covers were Kawaii. Awesome the train continues to run for one school kid. Definitely only in Japan. These videos make me want to visit again. Definitely looking into going to the Kansai area.

Wow! Much respect to Japanese culture ❤❤❤

Mr. & Mrs. Kuroki! Oh, my heart! 🥹

日本人だけど ずっと東京暮らしで 旅行も出かけたりもあまりしないので 色んな場所や物が見れて楽しかった🎵 Thank you😃

I still think the rest of the world really needs to learn from Japan about respect, patience, and peace. A lot of other things we can learn from them like their creativity in mastering Christmas.

I've always wanted to go to Japan since I was very young. Unfortunately I'm 70 and won't be able to visit. Thank you for sharing these pictures.

Some of this actually made me cry, Japanese people have a truly amazing empathy,the politeness and courtesy is almost beyond belief, respect for nature and so much more,if only i had been born in Japan, then maybe i would not be alone

Ich liebe Japan, wenn ich nur diese Bilder sehe...dieses bisschen mehr mitgedacht für andere. Herrlich

Japan looks so good! I adore the embroidery, the scenery and graciousness! I wish I could visit such beautiful place. Thank you for the video

oh wow I actually went to that starbucks in Kyoto. sat right by that upper circular window on the left. didn't expect to see it here! It has a nice garden in the back as well, beautiful plants and a stone garden arranged very meticulously.

America could learn a lot from Japan.

Even as time goes by and the surface of a town changes, nothing changes in the underlying foundation of the unique Japanese culture. The common root of the creation of originality in Japanese culture is the uniqueness of its geopolitical location and the influence of its natural environment. Even if they import culture and knowledge from abroad, they are not dominated by it, and after a certain period of time, they select the content, integrate it with their own culture, improve it, and eventually create a new style because of the influence of their unique natural environment. Japan's original country name "NIPPON”means "the land under the sun" , but another traditional country name is "YAMATO ,（WA）” , meaning “Peacefull Harmony among People and Nature”.　So Japan's name means “the Land under the Sun” and” the Land of "Great Harmony of People and Nature,” The history of Japan is very old, about 2,000 years since the Emperor's reign, but humans began to live in villages and communities in this island nation about 14,000 years ago, during “the JOMON pottery” culture.　(That's 30,000 years ago, if you count the Neolithic period.) Surrounded on all sides by the sea and geographically isolated from the Eurasian continent in the Pacific Ocean, this island nation has a warm and humid climate, and because it is a volcanic island, mountains occupy about 80% of its land, it is rich in underground clear water resources through its natural filtration system, and is blessed with diverse vegetation and fishery resources. For this reason, people have lived here for tens of thousands of years, enjoying the abundant nature and living in peace with nature. Since ancient times, the people of this land have respected human harmony and have lived in peace by working together as a group. However, while the natural environment of this island nation is rich to live, it is also harsh to live and has both light and dark sides. They have shared and enjoyed the blessings of nature by pooling their wisdom and collectively overcoming numerous severe and harsh natural disasters, such as frequent volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunami, summer typhoons, and heavy snowfall in winter. This is because this island nation has a harsh natural environment that cannot be overcome by a single person. Individuals are too weak to face the fury of nature when natural disasters suddenly strike the wealth they have built up and can destroy their cities overnight. That is why Japanese people believed that they should suppress their egos, avoid conflict among humans, cooperate with each other to create a livable environment and maintain public cleanliness, and join forces to prevent disasters before they occur and to restore the environment immediately after they have occurred. They believed that this is the most wise, efficient, and rational way to maintain peace and freedom in each other's lives, this would bring about better results rather than to create more chaos and conflict by insisting on each other's selfishness. because of the environment in which disasters frequently occur that cannot be resolved by individual power alone. And this thinkings have given rise to Japan's unique teachings, culture, and behavior. For example, it is fundamentally connected to the Japanese mindset of "Behaving in a way that does not bother others in public places," "Helping each other if someone is in trouble," and "Not doing bad things even if no one is watching." And one of the teachings of the ancient Shinto religion, "Purify yourself (kiyome) by getting rid of Defilement (kegare)," has been taken over today as a basic manner to "Not pollute even in public places," to “Always keep the environment and yourself clean”, and to make everyone, regardless of status, gender, or age. feel comfortable equally. The warm and humid island climate is a paradise for humans and animals, and it is also a paradise for bacteria and microorganisms to thrive. If they are not careful in maintaining cleanliness in their daily lives, bacteria can easily multiply and food can spoil. It is obvious why the ancient Japanese Shinto religion taught the importance of "maintaining a clean environment on a daily basis.” They taught cleanliness strictly because they knew, even before the development of science, that laziness and filthiness could lead to invisible bacterial plagues that could kill or destroy a race of people. This is the ancient wisdom to survive in the dangerous natural environment unique to this island nation. Over the years, this wisdom has been formed into a unique Japanese behavior and culture that is different from that of other countries. The ancient name of Japan, "YAMATO" or "WA" (peaceful harmony between people and nature), represents the wishes and reality of the people who have been trying to survive in the rich and at the same time harsh natural environment unique to island countries, which is different from the dry and stable land of the Eurasian continent. And it is in this ancient Japanese country name "WA,YAMATO" that the essence of Japanese culture, the origin and secret of its unique culture, which is very different from the cultures of other Asian countries on the continent, is hidden.

I enjoyed this video of Japan so much that I sent it to the rest of my family to watch. Their loss if they ignore it as they do everything else I send. Japan is so beautiful.

The japanese bullet train is not only sure but is also known for its punctuality: its average late time is about 3 seconds. If the mass transportations have more than 3 minutes of delay, your ticket is refunded and you and your boss receive apologies from the company In one of the longest tunnels in the world (between 2 main Japaneses islands), trains stop 30 seconds before an earthquake occurs (I can't understand how they manage to do so)

The Kit Kat thing is wild in Japan. I entered one store that had 2 large candy isles. One was half Kit Kat's and all the different flavors! Took a pic of it because I knew no one would believe me! Some of these photos are so beautiful. Especially ones from Kyoto and of Mt. Fuji. My God.... you have me missing Japan really bad now.

If you hail a cab, do not attempt to open the door. It will automatically open for you.

2:35. Wow! This would never have happened in any other country. If is true it means people are highly moral and compassionate.

7:54 -- I don't think that tent is ON Mount Fuji. I believe it HAS A VIEW of Mount Fuji.

Think back 80 years and how Japan was behaving. Things such as the Bataan Death March and such. We congratulate them on such phenomenal changes and wish them continued good luck!

The Country/culture of Japan, is on it’s own awesome level. Above & exceeding all others…⛩ The one place I want to visit, in my lifetime. I mean, come on… 14:10 Even the foxes are polite! ♥️🫶🏽♥️

In Japan, people have so much respect for public property. You will hardly see any littering, graffiti, or vandalism. People don't spit their gum or throw away cigarettes on the streets.

2:23 When you help one student, you help the whole community. I can never get my fellow Americans to understand that concept when they complain about their taxes being used for public schools when their kids go to private schools or when they don't have kids at all.

I really appreciate your efforts and showing how immersing Japan, its culture and people, nature and harmony it strives for. It serves as a reminder we can be our better selves. Loved this!

A few things on this list I've never noticed before after 30 years and counting in Tokyo. Never heard of "kuchi-sabishi" used together. The reason Kit-Kats are so popular and we have so many different flavors is because "kito" means certainly or surely, and "katsu" means to win. So Kito-Katsu translates to "you will surely win" in Japanese. It is nice to see that people admire Japan for its civility and kindness these days. Easier to do when you keep one culture and don't throw it away with mass unchecked immigration. Japan will always stay Japanese.

13:11 A 100% natural beauty. This Geisha needs no makeup and her hair is absolutely gorgeous just the way it is!

The first one with the deer is so effing cute. Actually, so are all the deer items.

Excellent video!...Good job!

I love how Japan treats its wildlife❤

What a amazing country ,there so many things we need to learn from them ,respect ,polite and follow rule , been to japan two times and go again if I allow …❤❤❤

Absolutely delightful! Educational and entertaining at once! Thank you from a new subscriber!

Thank you so much for sharing, Japonese people are so educated and respectfull, i wish the entire world were the same. Respect for Japan !

Amazing people. The world could learn, and benefit from, quite a few things from them.

During the covid pandemic, an aquarium set up a Zoom for the garden eels, so they didn't miss out on visitors.

I loved this so much! So intelligent and kind.

I love ❤ the frogs 🐸🐸🐸 😍😅😊❤

That wooden vending machine looked so cool!

Japanese people embody civility and cooperation better than most I’ve ever witnessed.

How can your tent be on Mt. Fuji when Mt. Fuji is what you're photographing?

Kitkat cheesecake... It's been too long since I had cheesecake. Cheesecake would go really well in a can I think.

This is seriously awesome

It's too bad that so many people fall in love with Japan so childishly that they think there's only good in their culture. There is BOTH, just like pretty much everywhere else. 日本人も他の人々と同じように人間です。

Would love to live in Japan.

I'm Japanese American (never been to Japan) and some of these just blew me away, though my cultural upbringing doesn't make these surprising, except one, .....the person knitting the ramen was unreal!

I hope Japan never loses its "Japaneseness".

This is it!! thanks to this vid I have now definitly decided to go visit Japan, although it is a 13 hour flight from my place.... thanks for this great vid 💞

Now those are some great vacation pictures!!

@9:47 That's not Donald Duck; it's Kermit the Frog.

4:13 happened to me. So kind!

When I was growing up in west Texas I told some of my little friends in the neighborhood that I was half Japanese because I loved all things Japanese, still do! They and I are sympatico! Thank you for this montage!

14:13 even the foxes have manners

I lived in Japan as a kid. Waikiki, Japan and they could teach the US a thing or two. Some places don't look great on the outside but it is all clean. Extremely polite people and friendly. We were military in 67-73. Their schools are very crowded but exceptionally orderly and the teachers are respected. I was young living there but the experience was amazing. I still have things and pictures from there.

Very enjoyable. Thank you

Thank you and good work

I love Christmas Godzilla!!! Big fan of the franchise an He Himself! Great video ty!

A Godzilla chrismas tree is 100% better than normal christmas trees.

I've been under the weather for a few days and this video really cheered me up. Thanks much.

Japan has a real society while the rest of us are in a gutter somewhere.

The plural of the word deer is deer.

Everything is so picturesque.

Lovely, thank you.

These are great! And thank you for leaving the items on long enough to actually read what it says, and get a good look at the photo. Some statements were truly amazing, like no injuries or fatalities for the bullet trains in 50 years. Just one observation --- I notice that the people cleaning the stadium were all wearing the same kind of dark blue shirt --- were they really fans, or a cleaning crew?

Calling a stuffed Kermit the frog toy “a Donald Duck toy” - a little odd, don’t you think?

Japan is absolutely amazing!

Thank you for sharing this.

I’m absolutely fascinated by Japanese culture. I had a Japanese friend many years ago. Her whole family were totally fabulous. She had to move back to Japan after a few years and I’ve wanted to go there ever since. I hope I manage to do it. I’m almost 65 now so would be considered elderly. In Japan that would garner total respect. ❤😊

I had to take a bus to switch planes at different airports. The employees would load your luggage, bow to you, then bow as the bus left, and bow as another bus arrived. Meanwhile in the US, I had a Dunkin’ Donuts employee yell at me for having an attitude because I politely told him I was missing a donut.

R E S P E CT !!!!

I wish the ENTIRE world is exactly like Japan.

What's amazing about those turtle tunnels is how they get the wild turtles to turn out of their way, and crawl along the tracks, (instead of over them), to find the tunnels! LOL If you had a tunnel every two feet, the turtles are still going to crawl across the tracks. It's like building toilets especially for infants. Doesn't matter that the toilet was built especially for their size, they still gunna crap in the diapers....

Quick book me a flight

I've heard that people who ride scooters don't bother locking them and leave the keys in them as well.

Japanese culture is impressive.

Thank you so much. It is an inspiration that I fear Americans will not be interested in imitating.

Can you stand in line regularly? Animals can.

You really never see the kind of caring about other people in the west like you do in Japan.

@9:59 The wasn't a Donald duck picture of but Kermit the frog holding an iphone

Always thought about going to Japan but never did the more I see videos like this it just makes me want to go even more definitely need to change it from a want to go to a have been 😎😁

公衆トイレの小物置きと傘掛けは、 たぶん忘れ物が多くて紛失物預かりなどの手間が掛かるのが困るので、 傘と小物を手に持たないと、 ドアを開けられない仕組みにしたものですね。 考え出した人天才です。

The joys of a monoculture.
