The Japanese are definitely very different people from the rest of this world. I mean it in a good way

6:49 only sleeping story is NOT true. I mean people sleep in trains, yes. But in 99.99% offices, they don’t sleep at work. Maybe people who work 12 hours or more. And also, most parents put kids into bed at certain times.

The blue traffic lights are only used on temporary road works. I have never seen blue colours on regular traffic lights!

The woman with the weird bun on top amd the sword - not Japanese at all. Very strange- looks maybe Chinese Tang dynasty?

Japan like any land has it's people, has it's plan. Find 12 things from your hometown that other folks don't have around. Sewer covers turned to art, toilets vacuuming your farts, beds in tables stay in vouge and Love hotels don't seem that rouge. Japan sounds cool!👍🏻🇨🇦

7:46 it is and has been a very important part of iranian culture also. In the persian language they are called korsi and have been an essential part of winter life in iran for centuries. Unlike the japanese versiamthe iranian version is very very beautiful and colorful.

I sat in an electric bath in Kyoto, that is a hot tub with electric current. Very strange.

My daughter found a kotatsu in a thrift store in the US for $5. I ordered the cord from Japan and it worked! Bonus.

Japanese throwing stars are my favorite weapon of the culture

"Parents don't necessarily put their children to sleep at a specific time. They want their children choose their sleeping time." ---- NOT TRUE. We do just as the same as the rest of the world. I would like to know where you got this "information. "

Is this a computer voice? Interesting facts but a bit long winded.

by far the hardest part of fasting is the boredom. If you've never done a multiday fast, you have no idea the enormous amount of your daily time is spent thinking about, preparing, or eating food. Depending on your lifestyle, it can be really hard to fill all that extra free time. If you want a fast to be easy, start it when you are very busy

Love hotels “may” not be used for prostitution (although i highly doubt it) but they surely are used for cheating on your spouse or significant other.

We don''t want Japan to be made fun of based on wrong knowleages, especially by the People from a country where people are dying every day from gun violence.

Geez, get announcers who can pronounce the foreign words correctly. This guy's Japanese words (referencing places and simple words like AOI - he said ow oy eye) are atrociously mispronounced. His English isn't that great either.

The toilets maybe high tech but not much else. They still use fax machines most of the times instead of e mails. They still use ancient block stamps as a signature. Japan has still not woken up to the electric car conversion around the world. I wanted to buy an EV in Japan but there is next to no loading infrastructure to be found. The road infrastructure in Japan is a sad joke compared to Germany's. In my daily life here there is nothing superior to any other developed Country I have lived in. You just pushing cliche's about Japan, maybe good for luring tourists into the Country but there is not much substance to Your video!

Well, I got 2 min in and felt like re-reading Edward Said.
