10 *Simple* Japanese Daily Habits That Will CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

[@NekoArts]

Before covid, I was working in hostels in different places around Asia, and part of my tasks was to clean rooms and change sheets and the like. You could always, without fail, tell when the guest was Japanese. No exaggeration, you could always tell. They were the only ones who cleaned up their rooms and beds before leaving - sometimes they made it look even better than before they arrived. I especially remember one family that had stayed in a family room. When I went to clean up after they had checked out, I immediately stopped in the doorway and asked myself if I was even in the right room. I had to go and double-check with the manager because the room was so clean (they had even taken out their own trash) and the beds were made perfectly that you couldn't tell that anyone had stayed in there - much less an entire family with kids. Long story short, we all always loved the Japanese guests. Unfortunately, we rarely saw the same consideration from other guests (many people, unfortunately, seem to have the thought that "someone else will clean up after me anyway so why should I bother?"). The rest of the world could learn a lot from the Japanese.

[@melindasmith3713]

I've always done that ! Others don't need to clean up after my family

[@ExplorewithSarahlouise]

Wow amazing

[@BeautifulGrass]

I just make sure to put things where they are supposed to be. Housekeeping needs to change the sheets, anyway, so I don't think I need to make the bed. It will just make things harder for them to remove. But I make sure everything is there, easy to see. Cups put back where they are supposed to be, towels hung up in the bathroom, hangers in the closet. Trash in the trash can. It also makes things easier upon checkout because they can see at a glance that everything is there, no lost or damaged items you need to be charged extra for. How guests can leave a hotel room like a hurricane just ripped through it, I'll never understand.

[@camdenwise5816]

I would think that making the beds would make it harder for the cleaning staff, as they then have to strip them from made. Wouldn't it be better, if you were trying to help the staff, to strip the sheets and leave them on the bed in a pile?

[@angelacarroll9750]

​​@@camdenwise5816 Hi, I think I should've read your comment before I wrote mine, I said a similar thing 😊 (from Australia 🇦🇺)

[@michimana]

I’m Japanese and I’ve lived in US almost 30 years ago for a couple of years. Yes we clean our own school rooms and bathrooms and even teachers rooms here in Japan. Even the gym and the hallways. We make a team and mix different grade students and form a team so the older ones can lead the 1st graders. Since we clean up our own mess, we don’t make mess in schools.

[@bunniesandroses499]

this is very interesting thank you for explaining this.

[@katrinatsouki]

That's awesome

[@aprilkendell6601]

A couple things to know about the Japanese bath: 1. Japanese bathtubs are different than American bathtubs. American tubs are long and shallow. Japanese bathtubs are shorter and taller. So you sit in the tub (not lay down) and the water comes up higher on your body. 2. Japanese people shower in an area by the bathtub first (wash hair and scrub body) before getting in the tub. The tub is for clean bodies. It basically acts like a hot tub to relax in after a long day. But great video, Brittany! Keep up the good work.

[@dsoamazin]

That’s interesting 😊 seems like Japan is where the U.S got the concept of having a shower and jacuzzi tub from in most primary bedroom. Thanks for the insight😊

[@HeronCoyote1234]

That’s why I don’t take baths (that, and I can’t get in and out of them easily anymore). Who wants to soak in their own dirt?

[@margareth1504]

​@@HeronCoyote1234We had a swimming pool. It seemed usual to be clean before getting in the pool. But some family people were brought up to use the pool and have a swim so you can get clean in the pool, save having a shower ..... after things like mowing the grass and getting sweaty with grass and dirt over you. No, they not changing that and then I decide not to use the pool anymore because it has dirt and goodness knows whatelse in it.

[@rachelphelps6347]

I have seen in Japan where the kids at school, after eating lunch, break down their milk cartons for recycling, the older ones help the younger ones, and then the students clean up all the dishes and take them back to the kitchen. They have some wonderful habits! Thanks for sharing and it's interesting, and I'd love to hear more!

[@stefanieb7776]

At my kids school the grade 7/8 are called lunchroom helpers and do this too. It's so sweet !

[@JenniferKelly427]

When I was a teacher (2008-2017) we were explicitly told that students could not clean (some students actually liked that sort of thing and always wanted to help out) and they certainly couldn't touch any cleaning products. To further that point, my dad has overheard people leaving trash in a parking lot or not putting their grocery cart in the corral say "someone gets paid to clean that up." This is a huge problem of both personal accountability and collective awareness.

[@marilynndesilva7620]

There are so many things we are no longer "allowed" to do because of some union regulation or government code. The original church building in my former home town was built with the help of members from the congregation. Decades later when they had a new building constructed nobody was allowed to lift a hammer unless they were a licensed contractor. Well, the so-called "professionals" forgot to insulate an entire side of the building and door handles started falling off after awhile.🙄

[@mao8475]

Wow thank you for making this video Brittany 🥰 I’m Japanese and my husband is Hispanic, we’re raising our kids with a lot of Japanese culture. I’m watching from Hawaii 🌺 I was born and raised in Japan and I moved to California when I was 31 years old. I’ve lived there for 9 years and moved to Hawaii. Btw, I’ve started watching your KZbin since many years ago. I’m watching also learning English by listening your KZbin. Love you Brittany 🤗💕

Japanese also respect their elderly so much! And so becoming old in Japan is more of a privilege rather than a burden. I can't wait to travel to Japan again! 🥰

[@Pinkfong2]

Since I’m older, I can tell you that a few of these habits were commonplace in the U.S. in a simpler, more civil time. Clearing up your trash, and certainly never littering to begin with,we’re practiced. Yet again, we weren’t walking about eating. We had 3 meals at the table. Snack in school, cereal before bed was standard, especially if you didn’t like the dinner. Most people were not overweight. There are others but they have gone by the wayside. It would be nice to revive them for everyone’s benefit.

[@Naomily]

Good posture used to be important. Especially before we got in the habit of looking at screens -computer or phone - for hours.

[@DebbieTDP]

Surely not eating cereals 😢

[@KristinAnne327]

[@tquirkyt7118]

💕Thank you for highlighting the wonderful Japanese culture. It’s so heathy to learn and understand the other cultures of our small planet. I’m 55 and liv in VA, but as a child I lived in Taiwan and Asian cultures have shaped my whole life. Another amazing culture is the Scandinavian countries. KZbin is wonderful for exploring cultures. I follow so many and learn such wonderful things which are so different from American ways❤️

[@mikaph3051]

I think, instead of incorporating matcha and seaweed to your diet, if these have to be shipped from the other side of the world, it’s much better to just eat fresh vegetables from your own land. Switzerland was second on that list and Australia thirds. They don’t eat matcha or seaweed either. A healthy environment will also make us all live longer.

[@Naomily]

Good point. More produce, less processed foods.

[@mysteriousone5649]

Hey Brittany, I always appreciate your videos/content. Recently I’ve been watching the ones of Carter when he was a baby and they were so precious. You, Ryan, Carter and Capri are such a beautiful family! I have a lot of respect for the load you carry being a wife, mother and KZbinr. I wish you and your family love, peace and happiness.

[@tinnalaco]

I'm watching your video from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Where I live, it is unimaginable to leave your shoes on when entering yours or someone else's household. To be honest, I thought that taking shoes off is a normal rule in every country... However, I think we could learn a lot from Japanese culture about being sensitive to public spaces! Respect!

[@steffa.952]

I am from Bulgaria and its the same here! I cannot imagine entering any house with my shoes on, but there are many people doing this, I cannot explain it to myself..its the most disgusting habit anyone could ever adopt...

[@Veeodee]

I read an article many many years ago which pointed to the secrets of being happy. The most important one was to appreciate the very small things in your life every day and to try not to think about what you want to have, but to think about what you do have. I thought of a cup of tea, newspaper and a sandwich as being the most overlooked but achievable thing to enjoy every day. It honestly helps put a positive perspective somewhere in your day and even now - 30+ years later I still appreciate the very small and simple things in life regularly, it is humbling and achievable when your goal is dedicated to being grateful for the smaller things in life. You have just reminded me of that 😊

[@kanases]

So true in this "fulfill me society". My friend asked me today how I was, I replied "ok" then said, wait no, I'm more than ok, I have food in my belly and a roof over my head, so I'm actually great! Plus many other things like a good family, etc.

[@Julie-si3hi]

Gratitude is so important 😊

[@amya9597]

Thanks for the video! We also remove our shoes and our guests usually remove theirs when entering our home. I love how you mentioned respect for public places. Too many people here throw items back on the shelves in the grocery store not in their proper place, litter outside, and are just nasty in general. Many areas of Japan are one of the cleanest in the world because they pick up after themselves or other people.

[@lauracastro6967]

I’m watching from the US but I just returned from a trip to Japan! It was great to experience how people take care of public spaces. We visited a park in Sapporo where there were different garden areas and it was a competition to have the best flower bed. And of course there’s no litter!!

[@kathleenh.7956]

Love these habits, especially respecting others. Thanks for spreading the positivity and gratitude, This is the secret to long and happy living. We're not here to serve ourselves (I deserve) but rather we are here to look after each other. xoxo from Canada

[@CheriJ11]

I’ve always had a “life motto” of “try to leave a place better than you found it.” That includes things like picking up litter. It would be great if everyone pitched in and did a little; it can go a long way!

It’s admirable how Japanese students clean their own schools, serve their own lunches to the class, wear slippers inside the school, and have real whole food nutritious meals made from scratch that they actually eat! Like fish and cucumber salad and miso soup! Love japan!!!! 🇯🇵 ❤ Taught English there and they were one of the kindest countries I’ve been to! Eager to serve, give, and humble.

We were stationed in Japan for several years and I loved it there. I will say the sun comes up much earlier there as they don't observe daylight savings and I really liked that as it made it easier in the winters as I deal with SAD. We brought home the habit of not wearing shoes in the house. I'm planning a trip to go back to visit our friends next year and can not wait.

We currently live in Japan as US military, and we love it here. You did a great job to hit all of the main things. The taking off of their shoes is such a huge deal that even our movers would stop at the door to slip off their shoes as they were carrying our furniture/boxes into our house. 😮. During the summer, I began carrying socks in my purse in case we needed to take off shoes somewhere because you are also not supposed to be barefoot. Public bathrooms are almost always immaculate. I will be sad to have to use a public bathroom in the US again.😊. Thanks for your videos!

[@tellibear]

[@debbieschue5068]

Love this video! When I was a kid I had a friend who was Japanese. Whenever I went to her home, we would take off our shoes at the door and her parents had socks for everybody to put on. Their home was always so neat and tidy, even the kids playroom was very orderly. It also smelled good there and just had a whole cleaner feel to it. I am definitely going to adopt some of these habits at my own house, including cleaning the toilet more often, LOL! Maybe not every day, but a couple of times a week.

Watching from Canada 🇨🇦! Always love your videos! We are also remove our shoes when we enter a house. It’s mostly because we have such crappy weather, you can’t go into any house with shoes that messy. So, it’s become a habit for us, and we do it even if the weather is nice.

[@yeahyeahyeah307]

Haha yes I'm from Canada too...I was thinking the same thing. I think in the southern states they tend to keep their shoes on

[@Lulaluna603]

I was born in the United States, but my parents immigrated from Asia. I thought cleanliness was just something everyone practiced ie. picking up after yourself, taking off your shoes when you get home, but when I would go over to friends’ houses who were not Asian, I’d be the weird one taking my shoes off at the door. I remember someone’s mom telling me “don’t take your shoes off because the floor is dirty” and it blew my mind because in my little child mind, floors get dirty from the dirt from OUTSIDE the house. It’s interesting to see how different cultures perceive these habits, but it’s also annoying now as an adult seeing how Asian habits are becoming trendy but growing up others kids bullied us for having these habits 🤣

[@Socalrina]

Thank you for introducing my culture! I’m from Japan and living in the states. I do most of the things you mentioned and I used to clean my class room so it naturally became habit. One more thing I always do is that I try not to waste food. I eat leftovers and try to finish my dish. By the way, I love your house💕

[@danicegewiss862]

I'm adding more seafood in our diets. We enjoy it. My husband packs a can of sardines daily in his lunch. Weve been decluttering daily and I'm doing yoga. I've heard about the kids cleaning the bathrooms. We say a prayer of thankfulness before dinner, especially when we're celebrating. We're not Japanese, but they have great habits.

[@whitetyger06]

[@CassieJ4]

My kids and I have a tradition every Summer to "adopt" an area to completely cleanup and we'll KEEP it clean all Summer. This Summer there's an overpass right near our house and underneath the overpass gets really littered. So, that's the area we chose this Summer. We've honestly noticed a HUGE difference since we've started doing this tradition. The areas we've "adopted" in this past have stayed clean for the most part. And we've since noticed others doing this, as well. Some will tie trash bins near the telephone poles in their areas. Some plant flowers on a boulevard corner. We don't live in the "nicest" neighborhood, unfortunately. So, things like this REALLY make a huge difference. My kids were all raised not to litter (they're 20, 20 (twins), 17 and 13) and I know they'll teach the same to their own children. I hear them telling their friends all the time not to litter. Lol. It's honestly the little things that could end up making a huge impact!! 🫶🏼

[@Julie-si3hi]

This makes a huge impact. I also live in not a very good neighbourhood. We have a mix if student houses for rent and family homes welfare...litter is awful...when mine were small and lived at home we did this too..serve the community it has a knock on effect.

[@Stampelina1]

It seems that Japanese culture is quite like the Scandinavian (particulary Sweden where I´m from)! We always take off outside shoes when we enter our one or someone elses home, the exeption can be sometimes at parties. Both in kindergarten and in schools they teach the children to pick up after them selves and they one or twice a year arrange field trips where the childen get to go out in a neighbourhood to help pick up trash. Also in restaurants you either help the cleaning staff to stack the plates or you go to a place with your tray of plates to help out. Of course I need to make a point that Swedish dishcloths is a staple in every home in Sweden, the cloth you can´t live without! :)

I started doing my laundry everyday a few years ago. It’s so much better!! No dreaded, giant pile of laundry!

Love this video! Fits really well with your channel incorporating both home and health. :) Would love to see more from other countries! Much respect to Japan for these inspiring habits. PS - So adorable to see Carter trying these things with you!

Nice that you're able to incorporate some of the positive Japanese culture into American lifestyle. Love to see others too!

Love it!! Makes sense that their country in public spaces is so clean.

Watching from the US but we visited Japan in 2019 and everything you said was spot on and such great tips - love the Japanese culture and feel we can learn much from them! Thanks for sharing!

I loved this video idea!! I’d love to see you do a country that’s in a blue zone next since they have the longest life expectancy in the world.

I am watching from Singapore 🇸🇬. Following you from time to time. Love your voice & verbal expression 😊

Off the wall a little here. I have just started walking backward while waiting for the kettle to boil. It helps with the forward neck posture we are all getting from so much screen time. Works for me.

Japanese people are wonderful caring for others. I hope more people around the world adopt more of these practices. Brittany you're getting the message out there. Thank you. I'm from UK. P.s I always clear dishes in restaurants and take off sheets in hotels.

Love this! I was in South Korea for a few weeks in college and it’s pretty similar. Would love to adapt more of these things in America
