FYI: This was filmed mostly in February and a little bit in early March, much before Tokyo was put into a state of emergency. The family is all doing safe and well at home nowadays. EDIT Also hit that CC button for subtitles!

"What's the transportation like where you are from?"

I left my mobile phone in a taxi in Tokyo. The driver drove around till he found me to give it back. I love Japan and the people. So respectful.

On our very last day in Tokyo last year while we were on our way to the airport to go home, in the rush to swap over trains with our big cases we ended up leaving the backpack with our passports and bording passes on the first train and by the time we relised we had already been on the 2nd train for nearly half an hour! we quickly got off and went to the information desk in a total near tears panic and were met by some of the most kind and helpfull people ive ever met who were able to track down the train we had been on and get our bag back in less than half an hour. Public transport in Japan is for sure some of the best in the world!

Fun Fact: Japanese train stations, as seen in the video, have gates leading to the platform that open when your tram card or ticket is scanned. Usually the machines make a light beeping sound to validate the ticket, but childrens' tickets (they have tickets especially for young children) make a cute chick sound, like "tweet tweet tweet"! As a child I had fun riding the trains and hearing the tweeting sound as I passed the gates :D

Edit: I believe 6:48 shows the tweeting sound!

Japan is so precious. It’s people are precious. How diligent he is working is admirable.

Been to Japan and Tokyo several times. The whole transport system is extremely efficient, ultra clean and very easy to use. We went to buy a ticket at the many ticket machines and were just working out how much when a staff member behind the ticket machines opened a little door and asked if we were ok. We had only been standing looking for less than a minute. I have always found Japan to be the most polite, cleanest and efficient country I have visited.

" workers can issue themselves a late slip if there train is late "

In Sydney if your train is late or delayed

NSW Rail "You should have left earlier then"

Suzuki-san didn't even consider the possibility that someone could harm a kid, so he thought it was about trains!

When I was in Japan in Sept 2019, my friend and I got lost trying to find the Shinkansen to Kyoto in Tokyo Station. This Japanese man tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I needed help. I said yes and he looked my ticket, and hurried us to the correct station. With his help, we got on the bullet train literally seconds before the doors closed. 👍🏿

Having lived in Tokyo for 4 years, I found their transportation system to be the best anywhere. Returning to NYC and experiencing the dirty, mismanaged and inept transportation system again was a real let down. I had gotten used to clean, efficient on time trains

Everyone keeps saying, “What’s the transportation system like where you’re from?” But they forget to realize that the most important piece of a clean and reliable subway is the PASSENGERS. You can’t fix the subway without fixing the people first.

“Why is it okay for small children to ride trains alone?”
“Why isn’t it safe for the kids to ride trains by themselves?😅”
That....just speaks everything about Japan 🇯🇵
