This is Japan - the weirdest modern country in the world. It is a place where unimaginable technologies and cultural heritage are intertwined. I'm going to show you in my travel vlog the life of the people in Japan and many incredibly unusual things that any foreign tourist can`t even imagine. For instance, the capsule hotel, the pet hotel and the long queues for Japanese restaurants. And you won't believe it... but they queue up to eat colorful sandwiches! Sightseeing in Japan is something very inspiring and beautiful or as the Japanese say...kawaii! In my video I will show you the capital of Japan – Tokyo. You will see it from the sky and I will give you the little tour of the capital city with tons of facts and curiosities of this amazing Asian country. So let's go on a trip to Japan! Enjoy!

As a Japanese, I don't want to be misunderstood in many ways, so I will explain. Japanese people are not workaholics.
There are a few cases of death by overwork, but this is not a common occurrence.
That information about Japan's working hours is wrong.
Some Western media are exaggerating and half lying about Japan.We Japanese do not work 70+ hours a week.
The average daily working hours for a Japanese person is about 9 hours.
Japanese work shorter hours than in Canada, the United States and Italy, 　Australia.
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　↓
【Employment　-　Hours worked　‐　OECD　Data　Hours】 （Worked: Average annual hours actually worked）
In Japan, the law allows up to 45 hours of overtime per month.
In Japan, if a worker needs to work more than 45 hours of overtime in a month, he or she must apply to the Labor Standards Inspection Office for permission to do so.
Few Japanese work 70 hours a week.
※The total number of annual holidays in Japanese company is about　76days~124days.
Overall, except for some misunderstandings, I think you have made a favorable video about Japan.

I am Japanese.
The suicide rate in Japan is not so high.
Many people misunderstand this because the Western mass media reports that the suicide rate in Japan is very high, which is not true.
You can find youtube videos of suicide rates around the world by searching this title. →Top 20 Country by Suicide Rate (1950-2018)
The source for the "Top 20 Countries by Suicide Rate (1950-2018)" is "World Health Organization & World Bank (WHO)".
If anyone looks into the data of "WHO", they can see the fact that the suicide rate in Japan is not high.
Here are some countries with higher suicide rates among young people than Japan.
↓　　　↓　　　↓
Crude suicide rates(per 100 000 population)　2019年　WHO
Japan 15-29 years old 13.54 people
USA 15-29 years old 17.72 people
Sweden 15-29 years old 14.57 people
Finland 15-29 years old 18.47 people
Iceland 15-29 years old 14.6 people
New Zealand 15 to 29 years old 13.92 people
Russia 15 to 29 years old 19.38 people
Australia 15-19 years old 10.22 people
Japan 15-19 years old 7.84 people
By the way, it's a pity that the music used in the video is Chinese music.
Overall, except for some misunderstandings, I think you have made a favorable video about Japan.

Anton, your insights about Japan are spot on. Your cinematography is topnotch. I was in Tokyo as a foreign exchange student and thoroughly loved my experience. Hope you upload more videos and visit my country the Philippines 🇵🇭❤

[japanjt]

Have seen so many of your other videos and was excited to see you uploaded Japan, as that's where I live. It's easy to feel indifferent about Tokyo after living here for 14 years, but your cinematography reminded me how much there is to appreciate. I do hope you get to come back soon. when you do, don't hesitate to let us know if you need anything! Much love to you and everyone in Ukraine. Think of you all every day. <3

I had the good fortune of visiting Japan in 1998 for a university friend’s wedding. I agree that it was a « wonderland ! »
