Photos That Prove Japan Is Not Like Any Other Country

Having grown up in Japan and moving to the states when I was a high school sophomore was extremely difficult. I was taken advantage of and walked on. Over the decades I had to change to a different way of thinking and being. None of the therapists helped because they weren't aware of different cultures.

I think having respect for others is one of the most important values a person can have and should be taught to every child. It's such a freeing feeling when you can trust strangers and acquaintances not to harm you in any way. This is what I love about Japan and Finland (where I live now). In the US respect for others is even more important because of all the differences between people, but unfortunately it seems things are not heading in the right direction over there. I also sometimes feel like I don't have a home country (I was born in Poland), but perhaps the best solution is to find a group of friends with which you can just be yourself.

[@curiouscat9]

It is not only safer, but also, if you are ever in an emergency, it is much faster and less stressful to get going.

I suggest you also drive vans and other vehicles that have limited or no rear vision. It helps you understand how to position yourself near big vans / trucks and understand that they can literally not see you in certain corners. Good luck with your driving lessons

[@curiouscat9]

@@pjemje Your comment reminds me of a certain "idiot" whose (well earned) demise I witnessed live. He was driving a motorbike behind a trailer truck (those long ones with 20 wheels). The truck slowed down in order to make a right turn some distance further. Our hero thought it was a good opportunity to overtake the truck. Thus his bike suddenly appeared in the truck's mirror while it was already midway through the right turn, and the driver couldn't apply brakes in time. While our hero had likely never driven a truck, it does require having a very low intelligence to not realize that such a long vehicle can have large blind spots (even if you don't actually know where or how big they are). To add insult to -injury- death, the insurance company refused to compensate for his death because he had died due to "negligent/rash driving" (read as "stupidity"), and the police did not file any charges against the truck driver either because he was clearly not at fault.

[@pulaski1]

Also vehicles are much more maneuverable when the steerable wheels are at the rear. I.e. it is easier to park precisely if you back into the space. The first vehicle I learned to drive was a forklift, and that has had a permanent impact on how I drive, and park. :)

Having been to Japan myself, I have to say that I’ve seen the majority of these things. My favorite thing about Japan, however, are the trains and train stations. In the photo of people lining up to get on the train, you may not see it, but there are lines painted on the floor to indicate where to line up (enough for two at a time) and you have stand between the lines. The painted areas are located to be at the exact spot where the doors should be when the train stops, and I’ve seen trains stop in line with these areas almost perfectly- sometimes it’s off by a few inches. The trains also always come on time too- I think the only time a train came late while I was in Japan was late at night when I was trying to get back home from Tokyo Disney Land. Also, fun thing about the Japanese love for order- when you’re going to or leaving a track at a train station, you would usually take a stairway, escalator or elevator to get to the track or the exit. One thing I noticed when I got off a train and headed for the exit was that people were automatically lining up at the escalator, one behind the other, waiting to get on. There aren’t any lines indicating where to line up at the escalator. I found this pretty funny, mainly because we Americans would be crowding around the thing, trying to get on first.

Tattoos aren’t really a good look from any perspective, not just Japan

[@kharnsagara]

@Trip Duece well yeah I get that however from Japan is more a taboo. There are a lot of places that don't allow you in if you have tattoos where as a lot of the other countries, they don't really care too much

Wow! The people of Japan just get me. I loved the photo of the crowded stairs where everyone going up avoids the "down" side of the stairs. So orderly! You would never see that in America. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you!

When everyone does it you will start complaining about how the note was not printed well enough, or something.

Americans used to. They largely don't any longer, which is why things have gone so far downhill. Now everyone feels entitled; and when they don't get their way they cry "victim".

[@Tmonger127]

The only way to achieve this is to have an identity with our nation. Most Japanese love their culture and country, and so they treat it with respect. Most Americans are taught to hate American culture and our nation, so we treat it with disrespect.

[@rogerr1296]

@@Tmonger127 I think it is we are taught more division than understanding. Its not so much we are taught to hate American culture as it is we are taught to stand against anyone who doesn't believe the way we do or act the way we do... America is different than most other countries in that we are made up of many different people who come from different backgrounds. Remember we are a young nation compared to Japan, England, Germany... who have many hundreds if not thousands of years of history and traditions. Like our founding fathers said, we are the great experiment which means we are not the norm so we have to learn as we go in order to keep and continue what we have so successfully built.

@@Tmonger127 no one is teaching anyone to hate america or its culture. Not in america at least.

I’ve travelled to Japan a few times now and so much of what you’ve presented here reflects what I came to think of as ‘mindfulness’. The lining up at stations, the use of the correct stair; mask wearing when you’ve got a cold; these things weren’t just about rules, but about consideration. They just made life easier. When you’ve got over 3.5 million people going through, say Shinjuku station in Tokyo, every day, you really appreciate it. Such a contrast to the ‘every man or woman for themselves’ I see elsewhere in the world. Arigato gozaimasu, Nihon
