It was surprising that the Japan has a peculiar smell. I don't know the cause, but it may be related to the climate. Japan is a large, independent island and is surrounded by the sea on all sides, separated from the Eurasian continent. In other words, it is not as dry as the continent and is full of moisture, and the sea and mountains are all watery. So there are almost no arid areas like deserts, and most of them are covered with vegetation. Warm and humid means that there is no shortage of food for flora and fauna to live in. Overflowing with water and food, the temperate climate is not too cold, making it a land where animals and plants are easy to live and thrive. But it's not just for animals and plants that are convenient to live. It is a heavenly environment to live in microorganisms such as bacteria and mold. The development of fermented foods for a long time in Japan is also due to the environment and climate suitable for the reproduction and fermentation of bacteria (soy sauce, miso, vinegar, Japan sake, mirin, shochu, natto, etc.) Japan's abundant moisture and mild climate make it a suitable living environment for all living organisms, including microorganisms and bacteria, to thrive. Microorganisms may be reproducing in their natural state and may be present in the air, which may be the cause of a peculiar smell in Japan. Japan is a very satellite-conscious and clean-loving country, where people are taught from childhood to keep their surroundings clean and tidy. The houses are also built with the floor raised from the ground for good ventilation, shoes are taken off on the dirt floor at the entrance, and the custom of separating the inside from the outside of the house has been in place since ancient times. This is because, unlike the dry continental environment, the Japanese culture has been educated to believe that it is a virtue to clean the house frequently every day, as it is a dangerous environment where bacteria and mold can grow if one is not careful. This is probably due to the fact that we have been taught that it is a virtue to clean our homes frequently every day. I think it was a survival wisdom to live comfortably in this island environment. Therefore, it is very dangerous for people from overseas who have not been educated in cleaning since childhood to live in this Japanese land with Western-style customs.

It's seems to be "hygiene awareness". Not "satellite-conscious". Auto-translation from Japanese Language?
