I'm the same height as you and I though the same, but I guess the thing is it takes only a little bit more variation on the downward side to skew the avarage

Same. Live in Atlanta and the average height is probably the same as Tokyo? Assuming we're just talking young people. The elderly were pretty short over there.

I'm 5'8" as a man and I felt tall compared to the average woman, especially compared to white women, but I felt average if not short compared to the average Japanese man

@@geoplanetaire I'm 5'9" as a woman and although I'm on the taller side, there are way taller women in my country and I hate to break it to you but 5'8" is small for a man. (I'm German so at least for German standards).

This has been a trend across a lot of East Asian countries. They've rapidly modernized and their standard of nourishment has increased very quickly since the mid-century, with millions lifted from poverty. Turns out being able to eat means you can grow properly, who knew.

Cuz its only japanese people in there

thats what happens when you have a homogenous society, everyone can easily trust eachother because everyone is basically the same person

You obviously don’t know about #shibuyameltdown. It’s a huge thing in Japan for people to post videos of drunk people passed out in the street. And no, it’s not illegal to record on public transportation.

yeah i am 5'3(male) Japanese and my friend is like 5'6~6 i am the only short guy n my friend group. :( anso my friend girlfriend is taller than me. I'm gonna cry. I need to look up at my friends. I think the average height is increasing. all of my friends paret is about my hight or only a little higher than me. also the average height for male in japan is apparently like 168.6cm〜170.8cm and for woman Is 157.3cm〜158.0cm.

In my personal experience this isn’t the case. In any almost every shopping district, big or small, it will won’t have a very large footprint and will be multi story. Although, the dedicated shopping streets are always really cool

@@kadoggie7808 The shotengai are usually only 1 story as far as the retail goes, with offices and apartments above the buildings. In many cities though that I have been to in Japan, the retail was mostly one story like Karatsu in Saga, Hikone in Shiga, Izumo in Shimane and more.

@@linuxman7777 interesting, it seems you’ve had a lot more experience in Japan than I have. I never really got to travel around much

@@kadoggie7808 you probably were only in Tokyo or Osaka where land is very expensive. In the parts of Japan where land is cheaper, places are still walkable but the buildings are more spread out.

Why don't you like black people?

Well, either you have never been to Japan or, if you have, you have never stepped into a Japanese restaurant or an Izakaya. Japanese people are extremely loud and annoying when they gather in groups in hotels, restaurants, or bars. They don't give a damn about the foreigners sitting at tables around them. Japanese will talk loudly, argue loudly, and laugh very very loudly, generally being obnoxious and a nuisance to the foreigners in the restaurants. Visit any Japanese restaurant or bar in Japan, spend half an hour there, and then reply to this message.

And little to no crime

@@shinkisaragi4369both not possible in a country with blacks 😔 They are quite the opposite of that

@@shinkisaragi4369 it is very low crime, but do not trust the official crime rates, as the police chooses to not report crimes that have a very low chance of the criminal being caught, in order to have a higher conviction rate for reported crimes.

She is the definition of appeal to ignorance.

Isn't it generalizing to talk about a group of individuals? I've been here for 30 years. What she said is generally all true. I'm never going back to the US.

As you know, the Boeing 787 is a quasi-Japanese product. Nagoya is famous as the quasi-headquarters of Toyota Motor Corporation. Nagoya was the area where the Zero fighter plane was developed and manufactured before World War II. The Boeing 787 is a product of the following three companies. Three major Japanese companies, Fuji Heavy Industries, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, continue to cooperate to manufacture and assemble the main frame components of the aircraft in Nagoya. Incidentally, the Nagoya area also designs rockets and manufactures components for the space program. Nagoya is a city with a high concentration of very specialized and highly skilled companies. You love Nagoya. Thank you so much. Nagoya is one of Japan's three largest cities after Tokyo and Osaka.

The second largest city in Japan is about as large as nyc, the 3rd largest city in Japan is larger than Chicago, and the 4th largest is as large as Miami

@@elmalanmalan2175 you don’t believe that do you ?

@@shizuokaBLUES I do ! You think I'm making this up?

It's because people are taught at a very early age to clean up after themselves and their surroundings, all the way until high school. In America it would be *wild* to have the stupid spend part of the day cleaning the whole school. Windows, floors, you name it.

You'd be surprised how it is these days. Shibuya was never a super clean part of town, but recently it's looking more like a dump by the day 😢

They are missing a certain culture over there that’s why crime is low

It’s pretty crazy that the crime is so low in the huge cities, unlike most countries. But there are plenty of areas in countries like the US and EU countries that are just as safe. But these areas are typically suburban or rural, so Japan’s crime rate is still very impressive.

Your comment makes me very sad😞 I’m a Japanese woman 5’8” . I’ve been a victim of sexual crime about 100 times for two reasons related to my look. One is, many Japanese guys have suddenly touched my body on the busy street because I look South Asian. The other one is, guys who have grudge against women hate a woman stands tall. I think those guys spot me in a train or busy street and stalk me until I go to a quiet residential area. A few years ago, an English woman who I met at a bar said she’d walk home for 30 minutes after the bar closes at 3 a.m. I said 〝No way, Japan isn’t a perfectly safe country as you think！〟 She said 〝I know there are many bad Japanese people but they never attack foreigners〟. I was very glad to see she understands Japan. The reason why Japan looks safe for people from overseas is, Japanese criminal isn’t violent but polite and insidious.

@@noripee8278 :( So sorry that happened to you!

how can a Japanese woman look "South Asian"? like filipino or vietnamese?@@noripee8278

Which surprised me because we link garbage bins to having less litter. How are they so clean without having garbage cans?

​@@lxuxu51they brought it to either the closest bin OR worse, their home

​@@lxuxu51The majority of people will just carry their trash with them until they find a garbage can which can be found in most convenience stores. Any trash that does end up in the ground is cleaned up pretty quickly by the street cleaners.

It is rude to eat or drink while walking out riding anywhere so people consume on the spot and dump their trash where they purchase it. If they take it some where else, they carry their trash to the find a bin. Japan is so lovely.

@@kris5992 Oh well🤔.

Nice for customers, not so nice for employees or owners of the buildings though. Single story shops have the loading dock, storage rooms, and shop floor on the same level so moving pallets of goods is very easy and efficient. Multi-story shops require freight elevators to move pallets, usually more than one elevator. When I worked at a department store, the freight elevators once broke down and we were forced to unload pallets and then make multiple trips carrying boxes of goods up multiple flights of stairs to restock the top floor. Things that might be convenient for your are often a huge pain in the ass for others.

Space availability is another factor. America's population density is lower than a lot of Asian and European nations, and America also has a lot of flat land, where as Japan is very mountainous. Italy is like this as well. being very mountainous, with a higher population density, building sand roads are just built wherever they can fit them.

Facts 😅

It has a lot of issues that could make it worse than the US though. A weak yen means you earn a lot less, workplace culture is extremely workaholic oriented and company loyalty is an essential part of Japanese culture. You know how Americans think big companies screwed them over, in Japan no such narrative exists and probably never will in a long time. Also, Japanese racism is on another level of what is acceptable in the west and there’s no anti discrimination laws. This is important when you’re the immigrant because you can count on not getting promotions based on race.

Agreed on that on so many levels. I feel like I want a to live in a country that has low levels of crime, no drugs, clean, quiet, polite etc.

yes, 30 Minute drive to Walmart, then go back to your own isolated suburb again compared to a lot of asian countries, you can walk 3 minutes and will easily encounter a convenient store. everything is within a walking distance

YES!

peoples stuff get stolen when their leave it out??? its like us vs every country with sane people

More like, only 10 cities in America VS. The world. Get away from the top 10 cities and the world is very similar

This is not about the rare gas station that actually as decent food, the “normal” gas station in the US serves you mystery meat shaped like a cylinder. While in Japan and most other Asian countries convenience stores actually has decent food and prices.
