Japan & its people are just carrying on the tradition of old fashioned manners & being respectful to others. Can you imagine what the world would be like if everyone did just one nice thing every day?

Been to Japan a few times. I love how ordered and polite people are. The streets of Tokyo are spotless as are the train stations, including the tracks. Nothing is too much trouble for them. I’m looking forward to my next visit.

Ive never been but would love to go. I understand the people are so polite and respectful. Thank you, Japan, for being so civilized.

Japan must be the most civilized country on the planet!

ahhhhhh how wonderful; manners, consideration, pride in a job well done.... sigh all the rest of us need lessons

I’m sure they have their issues. But it looks like they love and take care of their people and also their guests. Would love to visit there. Looks like a wonderful country.

Japan is wonderful. I wish my country would have a tenth of the good manners Japanese people have. I’m a bus driver in Stockholm, Sweden, and there are so many times when a Japanese person steps onboard (there’s a lot of students from Japan here) and bows when tapping the ticket. It is the most heartwarming thing ever. The politeness is overwhelming and makes me all warm and I often find my self bowing. 🙇 🇯🇵

I used to live in Japan, this video presents a true picture of Japan and its culture.

I come from the UK, which _seems_ to be like Japan in a few ways...But we will *never* be nearly as civilised a people as the Japanese are. I think they put us to shame and outclass us in almost every way imaginable. 🇯🇵💯❤

The most of it , Anything about Japan just love it so much. I love the people, I love theirs mentalities in all levels. Well done Japan. Greeting from Sweden

Incredible Japan. The people, culture, and nation as a whole are simply incredible. I loved every visit and always left feeling great.

Nearly all of the shown things work only in Japan because of the way they were raised.

Did you notice how people are not crowding or stepping up to the baggage belt but standing behind the line so that everyone can see their luggage coming up to them?

It’s definitely the most advanced and most civilized nation in the world. # 1 hands down! My respect to the Japanese culture! Long live Japan! ❤ 🇯🇵

My nephew took my daughter to Japan as a graduation gift. After two weeks, she didn’t want to come back to start her freshman year in college 😊. She said that Japan is the BEST country in the world! Now, she is a freshman in college majoring in computer science. She is going back to Japan next year for her one year as an exchange student. I’m afraid she won’t return 😂.

I will be in Japan next year. Can't wait 😊

I’m sure Japanese society have their own problems. But from the bottom of my heart wish many countries and people would act like the Japanese people. ❤

I truly love Japan and its people ❤❤❤

I love Japan, its beauty, its respect for others, its cleanliness, and its traditions, how trains run on time, their ingenuity, and I have respect for how they rebuilt their country after the war. How I would love to go back

That is really amazing! I live in the USA. Born and raised here always been very proud of my country. I had no idea citizens of Japan live and breathe amazing etiquette. I wish I could say the same for the US. My respect for them has just jumped enormously. I love my country and I will never live anywhere else but I wish some of that etiquette and concern for other people, and their possessions was part of the culture here.

I would love to live in that society.

I have been to Japan many times and this is all 100% correct, they are just lovely lovely people❤

I respect and admire Japanese culture & Japanese people so much. Honest, honorable, decent, courteous, practical, considerate, polite, thoughtful.

that is true.I lived in Kobe for short time but I always remember how nice and helpfull they are to help me and ofhers too.Very polite people also. I have the best memories about Japan. Domo Japanese

Wow it's difficult not to feel a strong sense of admiration after watching that. They are a very evolved culture, much respect 🙏🇯🇵🙏

However do Japanese tourists cope when coming to other other countries. This is how we should all live. It’s just respect; for everything. Wonderful.

My husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in 3 countries in October of 2023 and Japan was one of them. I am looking forward to going back this year, and I can hardly wait!🙏

I lived in Japan for six years. The best food you will ever eat. The people are extremely polite, even if they know you’re American. I learned as much Japanese as I could and that went a long way to temper the feelings.

My daughter left yesterday and really didn’t want to, she said it was the best place in the world she had been to. She stayed in Tokyo.

ive been in japan last 2003-2004 and all i can say japan is clean and good place..its also amazing for me that i left my celphone in toilet and when i came back,it was still there eventhough many people had gone out and entered the toilet.i just cant believe because honestly if that happened here in our country maybe my celphone would be gone for a seconds?sad but true.

This is why I love being in Japan.

I loved living in Japan, it was the only place I’d walk around the city at nighttime! So incredibly grateful

I lived there for two years from 1994 to 1996. I have missed it every single day since I had to leave.

I’ve been to Japan several times and have loved the culture and beautiful manners of the Japanese people. This video shows many of their customs - how I wish the rest of the world would follow suit!

I've been to Japan 3 times. I adore it and these photos are 100% correct.

To date Japan is the only culture that impresses the heck out of me. We are like barbarians in the US comparatively.

7:12 The domestic Japanese visitors left their stickers in neat rows so they could be counted easily!

Years ago when I was living in Chicago and took the commuter train to work they also gave me a note when the train was very late. The train seats had a clip where you put your ticket. Ladies always got roses on Valentine's Day too. The seats had flip backs so when the train was leaving in the other direction the conductors just flipped the backs over instead of turning the entire seat around. Ahhh the good old days when people were polite, said thank you and weren't scared to talk to a person they didn't know.

I live in Denmark and its a pretty good living here compared to the rest of the world, but if i was forced to change location, i would move to Japan, no question about that

Whilst in Japan, we had effusive apologies from the train driver and staff because the train arrived one minute early!

A whole other level in japan, i swear! Respectful and all over mindful to others and very orderly!

i'm always respectful and use manner but in my town most ignore you like holding a door open(most just walk in like your not even there)😂

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.

These are all such great ideas. If we could do just some of them here in the UK life would be much better.

I'm living in Tokyo and I remember when my colleague from San Francisco came here for the very first time. He was SHOCKED to see people leaving their stuff unattended, and people leaving their car keys inside their car with the doors unlock when they park. And he seemed quite distressed when he saw little children around 4 and above travel on their own on the public transports (which is very normal in here).

Japanese citizens teach children from a very very young age to work together and help each other. Which then carries over into the workforce.

One of my favorite countries ever

My goodness now I love the Japanese people and culture!!! They must be the most brilliant, humble and polite people in the world. 😍😍😍

Discipline and Respect in everything.

This is Ponrajan from India. Admiring Japanese. It's amazed to see their humbleness, respecting others like themselves, obeying the rules, discipline, dedication, ..... their culture is in their blood and it's passing on to their entire generations... praying Almighty Of God to born again in Japan. Thanks for sharing this video. God Bless You !!!

Why can’t we be more like Japan?

Such a gracious and respectful video.

I wish The Western part of the world would develop forethought and this kind of courtesy

Thank you. These two videos were so good.

I love Japan. Very respectful, polite, kind and lovely people. Love the food there too.❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏

I would love to go to Japan one day!

I am Japanese. Thank you so much for sharing the good and interesting points of ordinary Japan that I was unaware of.

These are all wonderful

Sound like a great place to visit.

I have been a customer to an unmanned beer shop in Austria. The bottles/cans were in a basin with water running through it so it was cold and on the side was a box where you put your money. Great break on my hike!

Hats off to the Japanese people.

Can you imagine getting the children in the uk to clean their school😂 The parents would be outraged. As for the luggage…wow! 😮When you think of how it’s thrown around here and then how it arrives on the conveyor belt. The stairs as well, there appears to be no rebellious, self centered people in Japan! There are always people here where ‘rules….dont apply to me’! I wish we could be just a bit more like this, sadly I can’t see it happening any time soon! Very good video.

I love how polite, organized and disciplined they are unlike my country.

日本をすごく褒めてくれるコメントが沢山で嬉しい❤ ぜひ日本に遊びに来てー！

I love Japan, the culture makes the people.

Good manners, exquisite order, and harmony are what make the Japanese tick. I wish we were like that.

I like all of these customs. Everyone knows to show respect to others, plus artistic ways.

My family’s country. I go as often as possible. It feels like home to me.

Wow! There are just no words! Wow!

Japan is like the future. And they keep all their best stuff for themselves. You can't blame them😂😂😂 I love watching videos on all the cool stuff they have, it makes me so jealous. LOL

Settles it I’m moving 😂❤

Wow wow, I want to live there

Brilliant!

Utterly charming. Thank you so much for posting this. 😊

Amazing Japan!😍

Not just in Japan where the ground crew bowed and waved to the aircraft. The ground crew in San Jose did the same thing with ANA aircraft departing for Tokyo.

now I know where my anxiety comes from; I expect the world to be like this; its how I was raised. So im constantly irked by modern manners, or complete lack thereof.😮

It'd be nice to be able to visit Japan at least once. 😊

I seriously need to live in Japan. So civilized and beautiful. I'd feel like an ox in a country of peacocks though being an American.

Japan is the only country in which government officials bow to people in case of mistakes and/or completely resign. While in most other countries, government officials expects people to bow even when they make mistakes.

I heard umbrellas are the item that go missing the most in Japan. Maybe that's why they install the locks

So nice!

Amazing ♥️

As a Japanese, I took everything in this video as granted, but we have to know that it's not... Thank you for liking Japan and let others know how beautiful our country is.

Awesome people!

Wow what a country. Everyone could take a page out of their book.

I would love it if the rest of the world takes up the manners, respect, and creative abilities like Japan.

4:46 Little ticket pocket on train seat. When I was a kid (early 60s)I took B&O trains between Baltimore ans Pittsburgh. They had these pockets too. IDK about Amtrack these days tho.

No wonder Japan is the third biggest economy. Small land size and resources but people are disciplined; thus, productive.

I love Japan

I want so much to move to Japan, but, unfortunately, I can’t afford to. As an older person with a pension, money is tight. I know a number of people who live and have lived in Japan, and these are but a sample of how dignified and respectful Japanese people are. We Americans can learn a great deal from them. I know that if I was able to move there, I would be treated with great respect, as I would them.

excellent

こんにちは Kon'nichiwa

I wish some visitors would try to understand and follow their way of living while there. I was just in Japan and so many visitors were clueless and just acting so entitled to do as they please. It takes all of 15 minutes to investigate how to be a good guest before visiting foreign countries.

ben japon kültürüne ve japonlara hayranım … sanki başka bir gezegenden gelmişler …❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

US Military people in Japan are influenced by Japanese people's humility and respectfulness, and Americans generally behave the same way because these behaviors/traits are contagious. Hopefully, Americans could carry it back to the States and influence others to be the same. I know it can be hard when one constantly encounters unbearably rude people. I get feelings of safety and light-heartedness whenever I visit Japan bc everyone is so polite and kind.

So cool!

They have some great ideas for the rest of us.

Japan far ahead of any country in the world.

I am a non white, non Christian legal immigrant to the US. It is the best country in the world.
