20 Things that can only happen in Japan

6/ Tax doors open and close on their own

For a better comfort and hygiene, passengers don’t need to touch the door handle.

7/ Fashionable anti pollution masks

It is very common to bump into people in the street who have a white face mask to prevent themselves from the polution. Sometimes they even add little pictures which they call Kawai

8/ The roads are so clean they use mini tongs

The town employees who are in charge of cleaning the streets don’t walk around with big bins and brushes, but small mini tongs to remove anything that is on the street. Rubbish is very rare as they are an obedient country who don’t litter.

9/ To buy a car you need to prove you have a parking spot

The parking lots are so crowded that parking in Japan becomes a battle to find a spot. This is why dealers require proof of possession of a garage when purchasing a car.

10/ Suicide is the number one death in Japan

Despite the advantages, Japan is a country with the highest suicide rate. It is the number one cause of death for those aged between 15-39 years.
