Japanese work day at a Japanese office for an average Japanese salaryman in a Tokyo office. Living in Japan and working in Japan is quite a unique experience. This is a day in the life of Japanese worker, Makoto, 27 years old who lives in a Tokyo 3-story house with his family. This Tokyo salaryman works in a small Tokyo office, but spends many of his Japan working hours traveling from client to client on the Tokyo trains. Makoto works for a company called Mobal and as many Japanese salarymen, he entered the company straight from a Japanese University and he plans to spend his entire salaryman career at the same company. That is the life in Japan for a salaryman. We take a look inside what it's like to work in a small Tokyo office as well as to visit clients throughout Tokyo city area. His job experiences maybe unique to his company, but fundamentally he is very much an average salaryman. He commutes by train everyday to get to work and has to ride his mama-chari bike to get to the train station from his home. This Tokyo salaryman life has him arriving to work early and working late. As a salaryman, Makoto receives a standard salary every month for all the long work hours. The Japanese office is also configured so his boss' desk is right in front of him, quite a Japanese style office working environment. This very average Japanese work day and work lifestyle showcases a true day in Japan work life.

Even kids in Japan don't have much freedom compared to other countries tbh. After school, they are forced to go to a club and stay there for an hour. Then after that, they have to go to a Juku until 9 because how they do in their final exams depends on what college they get into which determines the type of job they get for the rest of their life, not dissimilar to the Gao-Kao exam in China.

I think part of the reason why he is seems fairly enthusiastic is the nature of his work. He spends a lot of his day travelling, going to different places, and meeting and talking to people.

Except its a legitimate question, as it appears he only really does a few hours of actual productive work a week. The rest is really just wasted. I'm on a team of efficiency consultants for struggling businesses, and this entire business model is fundamentally flawed. For many industries, we are now in fact encouraging work from home programs utilizing telepresence technology, with only important necessary meetings between staff with a clear defined agenda illustrated by powerpoint presentations that are archived on the cloud for later reference and construction and maintenance of a knowledge-base that makes integrating newhires much more fluid. We've found that through proper management and business model, each employee's measured productivity increases an average of 3 times while the employees are also happier and less stressed because even though they feel like they are doing less, they are actually doing more because hours of commuting time, useless meetings, too many managers compared to subordinates, etc. is taken out of their schedules. We also encourage a 4-day workweek with 10 hour shifts, with clearly defined KPIs for defining and measuring an employees productivity so that they don't waste time "looking busy" for appearances sake, and just ensure they get their work done and are also competing with their peers on the quarterly KPI review to see how they rank.

@@dk4529 Most employees are happier to have the extra day off, while still achieving a 40 hour productive work week. The ultimate goal after all is profitability for shareholders in a highly competitive global landscape, and you will have to compete with the Chinese and Koreans working 70+hours at lower wages. 10 hours is also not as much as you may think, as its 7AM to 6PM, which is early enough and late enough for peak congestion to die down for those unable to telework. For those that can telework which is the preference whenever possible, the average hour travel time to and from the office is replaced with actual productivity. In exchange, every weekend is a three day weekend allowing more fruitful passtimes like traveling. We encourage a "work hard, play hard" mentality, so employees can party hardy all day Friday and Saturday if desired and take Sunday as a day for relaxation and recovery.

Jim D Well, a few things I should touch on. First of all a majority of Japanese live with their parents well into their late 20s as oppose to moving out at 18 which is common in the west. Don’t know the reason for them living with with their parents for that long especially since a lot of times their financially independent. Only about 50% of Japanese own cars. That’s due to the fact that japan is a public transportation heavy country. A big chunk of the budget goes into PT. So commuting to work via train is extremely common. When I went to study in Osaka, driving to Tokyo took about 5 hours as oppose to taking a train there which was about 3 hours. So pt is quicker in a lot of cases. Last point is a lot of Japanese are single. Having a love life just isn’t Japan’s ball game for some reason. It does correlate to their low birth rate. In fact it’s very common to be a virgin well into your twenty’s. I think about 25% of Japanese 30 year olds are virgins too. So all that correlates somewhat to maybe why Makoto doesn’t have a partner Don’t be mistaken. This is a very common lifestyle for id say about 3/4 of japan’s population

"too polite" too cuck that's what it is. That's why it's important to keep gun rights in America, we're fast tracking toward this kind of "CORPORATE UTOPIA" that the rich all love to see. This level of pressure where family time doesn't even exist in an average human life is down right satanic. There is no reason what so ever in the history of man kind does someone need to sacrifice their entire adult life to working 12 hours a day until the day they retired/die. This kind of cruelty is just going to exponentially add up generations after generations. As when the salaryman gets older and get to retired, he will become very disgruntled and seek out degeneracy to make up for the lost time during his youth....aka brothel, drugs, and domestic abuse. To the average sheep, this looks like "just another day in the life of" but to people like me, this is a serious problem. Wake the f up.

Japanese people are big on etiquette and respect but they're aware of other cultures. They won't expect you to know everything, and what's interesting is that even though the culture is like 10x as nuanced I found they never really get grumpy at foreigners who don't know stuff. You're a guest after all. You might get a firm slap on the knee by an old Japanese grandma if you accidentally break a rule (learned that the hard way,) but that's just part of the experience! Number one tip I'd say is just don't be 'loud.' Like both in terms of volume and 'loud' actions. It's just not in keeping with the way society works.

Jeez, I actually aged watching this. That makoto is a machine. Fair play to him. But when he said he wanted to spend his whole career doing that, I felt immense sadness, I have been lucky enough to have travelled all over the world, and makoto's outlook is just this every day, I hope he is happy and fulfilled......

okay first off, not everyone wants to live a life like yours. Everyone definition of happiness is different, please respect that. Just because you want to travel all over the world doesn't mean other want do it too. I respect his hustle

@@xmzru Most people want to live a life like OP. Things like traveling around the world, looking/observing cultures, monuments, sights etc. is valuable, educational and enjoyable. Same cannot be said about tirelessly working 12 hours a day... and for what really? paper pushing? If somebody putting that much effort in making a hydel dam or an aircraft or even a house that makes sense but transporting pieces of A4 paper when it can be done through email is a sheer waste of human life and cognitive abilities.

That’s just how life is over there. And chances are he can’t really leave the company, because the chances to get a better job are incredibly slim. Incredibly miserable work culture over there, at least in the major cities.

Cada vez que vejo um vídeo deste canal fico super surpreendido pela positiva, o detalhe, a qualidade, só o facto de poder ir ao interior do local de trabalho e filmar as reuniões, dá-nos uma excelente perspetiva de como é, realmente, o dia a dia destas pessoas no Japão. Vídeo 5 estrelas!! Congrats to your excellent youtube channel and excellent content.
