  • Elements from Japanese culture are in our lives right now: many people watch anime and Japanese TV series, they eat wok and sushi, and they listen to songs by Japanese singers. And even such a seemingly ordinary thing as karaoke actually originated in Japan. However, there are still some things that can only be seen in the Land of the Rising Sun.
    Really, Japan is a unique country, different from the rest of the world. Wanna have Pringles soup when in Japan? Here you go. In the mood for dinner with a huge plush Moomin in a Japanese cafe? Not a problem at all. Here are some cultural things can’t be seen anywhere but in Japan.

    SUMMARY:
    - Most people know that a sure sign they CAN cross the road is the little, lit-up green man, right? Well, not in Japan! There, you should wait for a green rabbit called Miffy.
    - In Japan, they grow square watermelons. Nope, it's not a slip of the tongue. In Kagawa prefecture, they produce a couple hundred square watermelons a year.
    - When you buy Pringles in Japan, you don't get a tube of potato chips; you get noodles!
    - In Japan, if you come to a cafe alone, you get a massive plush Moomin as your lunch companion so that you don't feel sad!
    - A Holiday meal means tons of tasty food and, of course, a big roast turkey! But if you ever celebrate the Holidays while in Japan, don't get surprised to be treated with KFC instead of more traditional food.
    - In the Ginza district of Tokyo, there’s an unusual stationery store which rises 12 floors!
    - There are more than 50 million vending machines in Japan, and that means they’re literally everywhere!
    - If you're in Japan and wondering what souvenirs you can get for your family and friends, try Japan-limited Kit-Kats!
    - Suffering from the cold in the winter? Just get yourself one of these one-use pocket-heaters that are so popular in Japan! It's called kairo, and nowadays, you just need to open it for the chemical reaction to begin.
    - Do you love unusual forms of art? Then how about rice paddy art? People plant rice of different colors and types to create breathtaking images in paddy fields.
    - Imagine returning home after a long and crazy day at work. The Japanese have found a solution for this problem - and that's a subway chin rest!

      I'm not Japanese and I know that the false things is more than half (I think ~3-4 things were somewhat correct).
      A lot of the things are just one single shop or item and not attributable to the entirety of Japan. It's like if there was some small shop in NY that sold Shoe-flavored burgers and someone made a video saying that Americans eat Shoe-flavored burgers!! OMG!!1!! And the pronunciations... they don't even try to pronounce the words correctly. Why make a video when you don't care about facts?

    I've spent a lot of time in Japan so I can agree with many others who have said these things are either hard to find or not normal there. I think maybe the things in the video do exist in Japan, but only in very specific locations. For example, I've never seen anyone sitting alone in a cafe with a giant plush...but maybe there is 1 cafe in Tokyo or something that does this.

If your dining alone you can sit on the counter so that you don't feel alone and save space for others who dine in groups or two. I never saw Pringle's ramen too. They have Bb ramen, You can eat it as snacks or you can eat it like instant ramen. put hot water in 3 mins then you can eat it.

Chances are you will be buying a hot beverage already and it’s often used to warm ones pockets before drinking. 8. NEVER seen anyone ever use a chin strap to sleep.

It's true that japanese are very generous, hospitable and disciplined people. When we ride their taxi for the first time we were like treated as princesses, their taxis arr high class with automatic door 😍
    Yes i love the different flavors of kitkats, shibuya crossing is incredible and vending machines are everywhere.
    Though we became broke after 😂
    Very expensive there, well we live in Philippines so we were shocked with their prices but we enjoyed our tour.i want to go back 🙂

    Not only Japan but every country, every city, every person is unique.
    In every place, there is something that is only found in that place. If you talk about Japan, every city in Japan has some different traditional foods, festivals etc. For example, we have sasadango, poppoyaki etc in Niigata prefecture. These are some traditional sweets in Niigata. If we go to some other prefectures in Japan, you will not find these sweets but you will find some other unique sweets.
    So the things you mentioned in this video is not true for every place in Japan.

      I have noticed from other videos that Bright Side has very sloppy research... more thorough research is needed!
      Is there even a team of researchers or is it just the narrator?

      @@rachealnaidoo9275 Rude? It's the truth. These videos are terrible. Most of the information is incorrect and the pronunciations are terrible. Would you like it if I made a video about your country and it wasn't true? Would it be rude for you to say that it was wrong?

    Even though some of these things may have existed in Japan, they never really caught on. I have been in Japan for many years and have never seen nor heard of many of these things. Take it with a grain of salt.
