How Japanese Clean Train Stations & Public Toilets | Tokyo's UENO STATION Team ★ ONLY in JAPAN

In Japan, cleaning is more than a job, it's part of the culture, like an art. Anyone who has been to Tokyo knows it's one of the cleanest cities in the world and to keep it that way, it takes a team of dedicated professionals who are often un-noticed - meaning they're doing an excellent job!
We'll take a detailed look at how JR East Environment Access (JEA) keeps JR Ueno Station super clean and safe for the 180,000 daily passengers and it's a microcosm of how the entire city stays so clean.
Ueno Station is a stop for the Shinkansen and platform 13 1/2 is where the Train Suite Shiki-Shima departs. The jingles and melodies you'll hear throughout the station, the announcements and trains rolling through is super nostalgic. I filmed this starting in January 2021 and finished the final scene a year later.

Another great thing in Japan is that there is no stigma attached to being a cleaning staff, unlike in many other countries where it is often considered unskilled labor and paid poorly by employers and looked down upon by the general public, in Japan cleaners are given respect and are paid a fair salary.

I wouldn't go as far as to say there is "no stigma" but maybe less? Seldom will a salarywoman date down to a janitor. Also if there was no stigma then why is one of the factors of the staggering suicide rate is failing an exam that would get them a certain job? Japan is clean because of two things : the homogeny and the culture. Littering is stigmatized (which is great!). Not many garbages around but culturally people take their trash home! We can take a lesson from them. 😉

I'm Japanese, living in the states for many years. Last trip to Tokyo, I used a bathroom in Tokyo Station. This cleaning lady was wiping the floor with her hands, on her knees, making public toilet's floor spotless. I was so moved, thanked her for her great work. She seemed surprised at first, but then smiled and thanked me for thanking her. 😳 As Horino-san said in the video, we do believe there is god in every little thing that exists. We naturally respect things and nature because of this belief, I think. I still remember that every June, on the opening day of the school swimming pool (many schools in Japan have swimming pool on site), Shinto priest came to pray to the god of water for the safety and no accidents, by giving sake and grains of rice. I thought it was like that everywhere in the world as a kid. 😆

@Julian Martov it’s not slavery, it’s quite simple, Japanese people respect themselves, they don’t want to embarrass themselves, burping loudly, throwing an empty drink can wherever it lands, clearing up after themselves, on a bus or train for example. Because they respect themselves & value the opinion of others they can respect their own family, they can respect others, neighbours, workmates, public service staff and property that isn’t theirs. Why not behave in a civilised manner? What is there to gain from leaving your coffee cup & sandwich wrapper on the train instead of in the bin? How would you feel if you sat in a mess? Why should you have to move someone else’s mess? Why should you leave mess for others to clean? Don’t say because you want to, as that shows a person who failed to mature & thinks like a moody teenager who hates the world. I pity you if you think people working together & being responsible citizens is being a slave. I’m sure you’ve heard of slavery, to say people being decent citizens is completely ridiculous. Have you heard of modern slavery? That’s far, far more than a few rules & courtesy to others. That’s what petulant teenagers might say when their bedroom is a mess or they are asked to contribute to keeping the house clean & family life going smoothly. If they’re asked to put washing in the machine or clean their room…with a dramatic sigh, a huff & a puff then loudly declare that they aren’t a slave. Alas, most adults have matured and moved on from immature tantrums

NY Transit have workers who don't care and we have people who throw out their garbage anywhere even if there is a garbage can a few steps away. That is why we constantly have fire on the rails because of trash.

So true. I knew cleanliness was something that is very common in Japan, especially in their train stations. Now seeing how it's done, it amazes me even more than usual. I'm also a New Yorker, born and raised, and I hate seeing dirty tracks, platforms, streets, and the bathrooms, I won't even start. You know how it is anyway since you also live in the same city. If more New Yorkers were like this and actually follow the advice of the MTA ads of keeping our stations clean, and just overall keep our city clean, then our city would look a lot a lot nicer and pleasant, among other major things that seriously need to change.

I wonder if the responsibility of standing guard to alert your fellow coworkers of incoming trains even when none are scheduled, came about due to an accident in the past which became enshrined in this role or if it predates trains when people working by the sea had someone look out for big waves that might appear suddenly and wash away people. The ultra cautious Japanese attitude towards preventing accidents which not only affects the individual but can shut down train lines inconveniencing thousands of people who in turn may affect even more people makes it a priority to prevent accidents as much as possible.

15:30 I used to clean a primary school 3 times per week and I was very thorough with the toilets and washrooms especially. I wiped down all surfaces with disinfectant and disposable towel, never running towels from a germ-high area over touch points like seats or flush handles, etc. I also disinfected all touch points like door handles, tap handles, button for the hand dryer, etc. I took pride in leaving it looking clean and being germ free even though it extended my time from 2.5hrs to 3hrs some days. Some days I'd spend a little extra time doing something that wasn't part of the standard cleaning, just to keep the place above average. I reasoned, that if my nephews and nieces went to school there I'd want it to be germ free and thoroughly clean, so that's how I treated it. The school principal was always very vocal about how happy she was with the job and she never talked down to me. She even told me the school inspector had visited and hoped to meet me just to tell me I was a doing a great job. Also, when they had some construction done over summer period (school closed) the principal insisted that their cleaner (me) was the only one she trusted to clean the school before the term began. (I'd started dong the job to cover for a friend who had some health issues, and made sure not to do a bad job, since I was representing him, but he couldn't resume, so he handed it over to me. Thankfully because I think I'd raised the bar a bit....without meaning to. But the bar became mine to meet, so that was ok LOL) It pays to take pride in your work; Some people view cleaning toilets as demeaning work, but that doesn't mean it's not valuable work. 🙂

The Japanese take their job very serious, no matter how trivial it may seem to westeners. They perform it diligently and with pride. Their sense of social responsibility is astounding.

It's amazing how clean they make the place look and how seriously they're taking their jobs. I do think for something like cleaning near or the train tracks itself, security is a must. Anything can happen and they have to be ready for it. Anyways, they look like they're enjoying their work too so that's great. It's hard to find work you'd enjoy after all.

I work in a shop at a train station. I wish the people who are responsible for cleaning the station were that dedicated. We shop employees have to use the public bathrooms (there are closed off stalls inside of the restroom we can use, but they get cleaned even less). This week there was no running tap water in the public bathroom for 5 days and no one did a thing, or even wrote a note, until I called the facility management. They just don't care.

Nice to see these behind the scenes heroes who help to keep Japan as spotless as it is. The job is made a little easier by the naturally respectful Japanese people who always tend to clean up after themselves as much as possible, but still a very important job for everyone to do. Good to see. Thanks :)
