My family moved from the US to Japan years ago. Living here has been filled with surprising perks, quirks, and challenges.
- Since relocating from the US to Japan with my family, I've encountered numerous cultural differences and surprises, from diverse public restrooms and strict recycling rules to the unique driving culture.
- Recycling in Japan involves sorting trash into nine categories, emphasizing meticulous disposal practices and efficient recycling adherence.
- Japan's emphasis on cleanliness is reflected in the scarcity of public trash cans and the population's diligent waste disposal habits.
- Driving in Japan often includes navigating compact Kei cars, known for their small size, fuel efficiency, and suitability for narrow roads and parking spaces.
- The cultural norm of napping in public places in Japan, such as trains and offices, contrasts with Western views on workplace productivity and rest.
- Japan's extensive vending machine culture offers a variety of food and drink options, including hot coffee, ramen, and ice cream.
- The widespread use of masks in Japan, both before and after the pandemic, reflects cultural norms surrounding hygiene and collective well-being.
- Family-friendly facilities in Japan, such as free sanitized strollers, child-size restrooms, and well-equipped baby rooms, enhance the experience for parents and young children.
- Public restrooms in Japan feature advanced technology, including bidets, heated seats, and noise-masking features, contributing to a clean and comfortable experience.
- Retail outlets like Starbucks and McDonald's in Japan offer seasonal menus with locally inspired items, providing a unique dining experience for customers.
