The pollution in korea is caused by China. It really sucked when i visited korea because the sun was always blocked by the dust, really affected my mood. When i arrived back in LA i literally sat in the sun for an hour before i left the airport because of how bad i missed that bright warm feeling of the sun hitting your skin haha. -
And on top of the general large industrial pollution from China there's also the Hwang Sa (Yellow Dust) that comes from Mongolia across the sea to the peninsula of Korea.
Not really, if you’ve been to Tokyo there are many futuristic buildings around and if you’ve been to Korea there are many Joseon time architects around
I live in Tokyo. And it seems you guys obviously never been to Tokyo. There is tons of cafe here every 100 meters. And I stayed several European countries. I found foods for locals in Japan so cheap. It costs around only $4-7 for that quality. Transportation systems in Tokyo is the best in the world. They are super complicated but super modern, efficient and clean.
You're right! We haven't been to Tokyo. Our time in Japan has been limited to the Osaka area. But, we're planning a trip back there later this year and we want to spend several months in the northern part of the country and Tokyo. Can't wait to experience the city for ourselves! :D
The air in Korea is bad because of China. Bad materials in Chinese factories are all bad in the western regions of Korea due to the east wind. (West: Seoul, Incheon) China is said to be the main cause of air pollution in Korea. But why does North Korea have no air pollution? Some days, Seoul is also air-clear. If Korea was the main cause, would there be a clear day? Chinese people?
@@mochiboi2766 no North Korea is too poor to concerned about healty life they struggle to survive starvation and sickness are close but long term problems caused by dust are too far
I've been to both countries an ld totally agree with your opinions. I think it is easier to live in Korea as a foreigner. I also have to honestly say I enjoyed Korea a little bit more because of the fact that they tend to speak better English and have a lot of English signs and Hangeul is pretty easy to read compared to all the Japanese writing systems. 😂 But still I also enjoyed Japan loads. 😀
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! It definitely is a little easier to live in Korea, especially if you're someone who isn't fluent in the local language. But like you said, this isn't to say Japan is any less enjoyable :D
We were comparing Osaka to Korea in general. Planning a trip to Tokyo later this year though and we can't wait to experience the city for ourselves! :D
@@WanderingRavens most of the japanese public transportation infrastructure is just a lot older then in south korea. a lot of the stuff is out of the 70thies. on the other end, even in kansai the haruka and the nankai rap:t look pretty much like in a sici-fi movie. if i remeber it correctly the haruka goes from the kix airport to kyoto station. the next think you have to compare is the high speed train network. the shinkansen is actually more modern then the ktx. if you go to japan as a tourist, i always would advise people to get a japan rail pass. those can save you a lot of money, depending on what you are planning to do. p.s. th-cam.com/video/4Y7-loxUXRM/w-d-xo.html

@Ken narville ah donc tu parles Français. Pour être honnête je fais de la provoque; bien que j'ai habité dans des appartes Japonais, je n'ais fait que visiter des appartes d'amis coréens. En vrai, je ne voit aucune différence dans la qualité, les appartes Japonais ou Coréen sont nuls a chier. Ce qui me fait péter un câble, c'est que les commentaires sont bourrés de coréens qui passive-aggressively disent des conneries sur le Japon. Ils ont tellement de haine contre le Japon qu'on dirait qu'ils ont un orgasme a chaque fois qu'un étranger dit qu'il préfère la Corée au Japon. Je suis bien conscient que t'as des jap qui sont putain de raciste envers les coréens, mais ça reste une minorité. Alors que les coréens putain ils ont un problème vraiment profond
@Ken narville once again, you talk about Japan like this, but I have the feeling you really have no clue. May I ask if you have ever been to Japan? To me it sounds like either you're repeating some bullshit you saw online, or heard from someone who really had a problem against Japan.
@@leonkasper97 you are incorrect. It’s been almost 50 years. But the reason why it’s so modern is Korea invests in it and evolves it - adapting new technologies and just let it evolve to the life style, ultimately optimization.
@@RT-xv3js not a hundreds years ago, then not so different. Before the war and 70-80’s technology is quite different, recent made one east to upgrade. Tunnel size quite different. Also Seoul metro was constructed under the Japanese financial and technical aid.
Well I prefer South Korea 🇰🇷💓 as it is better in infrastructure and cafes.... The most important thing is that the Korean dramas are awesome 😎and best dramas....😘
Rainbow Bloomies I am from Japan and yes it is very expensive there. For my opinion, I would say that Tokyo is the most expensive city’s. And I am from Tokyo
True. Korean and Japanese cultures are just wannabe copies of Chinese culture. One can even say they are regional cultures of China. How adorable of them to thing they are unique.
@@I_love_chopin what are you talking about? We are making progress, we are advancing society. What is the use of clinging to antiquated values? The world is changing, our culture must change too. We will soon bring the glorious future to Taiwan, which as you say, is rightfully China, and liberate our brothers and sisters there who have been misled by an unfortunate fascist leadership. Korea, you will also come to appreciate what we are doing when we liberate you.
@Drann Nervial well there are many positives and negatives in both countries, like all nations, so your opinion is perfectly valid. I'm not disagreeing with you, but I have a certain appeal to Japan a little more, but I still think South Korea is great.
Japanese people are shy, very shy. This is because Japan is an island country, has no interaction with foreign countries, and has remained a shut-in. Korea is a peninsula, so it wasn't as big as Japan. That's why I'm so afraid of talking to foreigners. However, Japanese people are friendly, so if you open up to them, I think they will open up to you.
First impression 1. Japanese are more quiet and Korean are noisy at restaurant. 2. Japanese cuisine are more delicate. 3. Japanese (ways of doing things) are comprehensive, but leak of flexibility at the same time. Finally, I guess most people agree that Japenese public toilets are the most cleaningness in the world😂 Now, I am exploring Korean culture > by watching Korean dramas. I could feel popular culture of Korean are duplicate from Japanese (industrial, drama and fashion). By the way > Japanese politeness in restaurants and service industries are part of their work. Even Japanese don't like the custom or really hate you, Japanese people rarly expressed in their face. This is what I was told from some Japenese book.
Foreigners say japanese are polite but are dishonest. And Koreans are hastily but honest. You are also Japanese, but you are pretending to be a foreigner.
@@sean-pl3us yep japanese society had to do like germany they made a big mistake trying to hide facts...japanese people should know their history they are arrogant and ignorant when it comes to history....

But living is very convenient in Korea...you can wander at midnight(they don't sleep).. and eat...cheap efficient transportation,,,,flexibility..outgoing people...fast and easy service..internet ..so on.. If you just want to travel,,, I recommend Japan ,,,, if you want to live for more than 3~6 month..I recommend Korea....you can also visit Japan while living in Korea..
It’s natural that you felt Korean trains are more modern because Kyoto and Osaka are famous as Japanese Traditional Cities. They should look old. Even Japanese people think so like me. Comparing Seoul with Osaka with modern aspects is weird. Tokyo and Kyoto are totally different.
Yes! Also they should compare Air pollution VS Aftereffect of Atomic bomb or infruenza in Japan Now? is it fair enough Guys? Stop doing bullshit I know air pollution is sucks in Korea But There is no end to comparison.
I think you're right. If Osaka is an old city, then you should compare it with Tokyo. But Osaka, which has a population of 2.7 million, and Gyeongju, which has a population of only 200,000, is not comparable in Korea. Maybe Daegu is similar. Since Osaka, which is the fourth largest city in Korea, is third after Yokohama, but that video shows that the population of Osaka or Incheon is more modern than Osaka.The population is 2.7 million in Inchon and 2.5 million in Daegu.
Quite contrary to what "Ken narville" described here, Kyoto (京都) and Tokyo (東京) are two of the most major tourist destinations for foreigners. The people in both cities tend to speak English much better than those in the other cities (although the Japanese are generally not good at English due to the geographical and historical isolations etc.) In general, the people in Kyoto and Tokyo know how to treat and welcome the expatriate guests.. There is NO place in Japan where the citizens tend to be hostile against the foreigners. Ken narville is only ignorant and arrogant.
@Ken narville oh my god why are you always in the comments on every Japanese videos I watch HAHAHAHA. And you're just spreading hate in Japan and your name is Ken, which is a common Japanese name. what a weird guy XDXDXD
These Korea vs Japan videos are tough to pull off but I think you guys were very respectful and did quite an admirable Job. You guys actually made me want to visit both countries.
I am so envious , Korea and Japan are my favourite places, I am a K drama freak also love Japanese & Chinese too, very different from each other and the rest of the world, thanks for a great video ❤️
Thank you for the good video! The air quality in Korea is affected by China. Since a large number of Chinese fossil fuel factories are collected in the West Sea, the fine dust index is high during the windy season in China. I have been able to see clear skies often since the factories in China stopped due to the Covid-19
Wandering Ravens hmm.. I remember Kyoto didn’t have English announcements on the trains a lot of the time...? Other than that, I never had an issue with English - but yeah, Tokyo probably had more English comparatively. Didn’t get to go to Osaka!
Weird! We'll have to visit again. It must have been differences in train lines then, because I know we almost got lost a few times because there weren't English signs or station markers. Though, I can't remember if that was in Osaka or Kyoto.
Wandering Ravens It could be that we (unfortunately) never ventured out of the touristy areas of Kyoto. Maybe the further you get from those areas, the less English? Anyway, cool video!!! :)
One reason why buses, taxis, and some metros look vintage out of 1950s in Japan is because a lot of infrastructure in Japan was already created by that time and even before that while Seoul and rest of Korea had to start building everything new.
Yes that is after the invasion of Japan in Korea and on August 15, 1945 is the independence day of Korea. But the very important fact is that Korean transportation keeps evolving. They get upgraded and better every time there is a new technology - adding TVs / GPS system at the bus stop / protecting screens in subways are all added within the last 20 years. So nothing to do with what you say where Seoul and rest of Korea had to start building everything new.
Basically Japan is old money, they’ve been rich since before korea was even split into two, while South Korea is Asian new money, they just became recently rich 90s-2000s.
Why is everyone comparing these two specific countries to each other? Why not China and Mongolia? Japan and Korea are two very different countries, is it because the girl in the video is Half Korean? I don’t get it?
If you want more oriental mood or cultures: Japan If you want to enjoy the city and culture comfortably: Korea Actually this would be correct Anime: 🇯🇵 K-Pop:🇰🇷
Nah Korea developed pretty early too, it’s just that the Qing didn’t allow Joseon to build major infrastructure when they took over the Ming, also countless invasions and Japanese colonialism in the later centuries takes a part too.
Korea isolated themselves after the Imjin War because they believed foreign intervention would ruin their country even more. After the opium war, Korea became even more hesitant to open up because they did not want to face the same fate Qing did. They only began to modernize in 1897 when the Korean Empire was proclaimed, which was somewhere around 30ish years after Japan. Korea was already too late because Japan already had ambitions in Korea. I would agree with Jamir.
@@yogadgsix true, but the reason why Japan was able to do it earlier than Korea was because they had already been a developed country while as Korea had never been one. However, I think it is very impressive that Korea went from being the poorest country in the world to becoming the 9th largest economy.
You must visit Tokyo as well. Because most trains and subways in Tokyo look more modern, of course and every trains and stations have english, korean and chinese translation. Bus in Kyoto also have announcement in English. If you didn't notice.
@@WanderingRavens there are a lot of coffee shops in Tokyo as well. Not sure when compared with Seoul but definitely there are some good ones in Tokyo.
They (Simon and Martina) covered entirely different coffee shops that are popular with the tourist. Maybe you can check these out too th-cam.com/video/vvl91y5rRus/w-d-xo.html
@@underated17 Yeah, but it's different when it comes to integrating Western culture into its own culture. I think Japan is quite a bit more protective of their own culture. Even Korean pop music is more influenced by Western (particularly US) pop music, whereas Japanese pop music is closer to European Classical styles. Also remember that Korea is just recently (in a historical context; i.e. < 100 years ago) starting to open up to Western influences, after WWII (1945). On the other hand, Japan opened up to Western influence starting with the Meiji Restoration (1868) and even earlier with the "arrival of the black ships" (the Perry Expedition, 1853). So Japan, as a nation, is already past the stage where everything about Western culture seems new and awesome. Right now, Japan's at the stage where it's trying to re-affirm its identity after a period of great change.
I'm Korean and now in Japan just for trip. Contents in this video are exactly what I have felt! I'm kinda having difficulty in navigating now but I am amazed at how much sophisticated Japan is. Both countries have really similar vibe though! Thank you for this video!
They do not have much in common? How about the use of Chinese characters in writing, the prevalence of Buddhism as a religion, similar funeral rites, ancestral veneration, frequent use of cremation, rice as the primary staple food, use of honorifics in their languages, chopsticks as eating utensils... One can go on and on and on... There are plenty of similarities...
If you want to know why Japan has more houses just look at the landmass size between South Korea vs Japan. You will suddenly realize why South Koreans build up. Also, SK had to rebuild completely after the Japanese occupation and the Korean War. That's why many Korean buildings look cookie cutter because Korea had to rebuild so fast to house so many displaced ppl.
Japan has a high literacy rate for hundreds of years. It was higher than that of European countries. For a long time in Japan, the language culture was rich and the rational culture was mature. On the Korean Peninsula, slavery existed 100 years ago. Nearly 40% of the total population of Korea was a slave. At that time, South Korea's literacy rate was 6%.
Well looks like you've been to only Osaka. Then it's not Japan and Korea anymore. There are more modern transportation and buildings, coffee shops, english stuff in Tokyo. Don't just compare with korea if you only see Osaka.
@Drann Nervial It's too crowded. but not everything is expensive. depends on how cheap you are. unwelcoming? maybe depends on how your attitude is also
@Ken narville Very true, If you want to leave in the environment with all the calm people with nature, Korea and Japan is definitely not a place. But they are more futuristic and Korea has the best wi fi network In the world so if thats what you are looking for, then yes, Korea and Japan is a place for you
Ken narville i mean i live in america but ok lol. And also thats kind of an stereotype. Yes, compare to other country, we live miserable even though we have high standards, we live like a bot. But not everyone. We have very unique culture and we dont always live like a bot.
@Ken narville honestly why do you spend so much time criticising Japan? I'm genuinely curious. The only people I've seen so aggressive like this are Koreans.
@Ken narville Same applies to wapanese. It's easy to say this when there is a person whether there white, black, hispanic, other asian who are behind there computer who are total weeaboo and japanophile with a Japanese typed name. Who knows if they denounced there original name to become person of the rising sun. lol
I hate to say that such anti comments, but I think u guys visited Osaka or Kyoto, so you could see vintage stuffs there and cafeteria is depending on area. Honestly Tokyo has lots of fancy shop and amazing hospitality. Do not judge with a short stay period. You never understand the charm of Japan unless you visit Kanto region. And I love both countries. Don’t compared them. 日本は日本で韓国は韓国。比べなくてよろしい。
I don't know what's your vision of tourism guys, it seems like you're looking for "western things" like cafes, modern transportation and english speakers. I like both countries but i find that Japan is way more authentic that's why, as a non asian tourist, i choose Japan as my first asian destination.
I am Korean but don't compare both with triggering competence. There are good and bad ones both and beautiful. We actually don't compare Italy and Germany or France and England either.
It's 1970 when the industrialization started in South Korea. It's called New Village Campaign. Korea's per capita GDP in 1960's was 150 dollars. Korea came a long way in about 50 years time. Japan's started their industrialization in Meiji period in 1868. So Japan had 100 year head start on South Korea. And even today Japan is still a bigger economy with 2x population and considered wealthier than Korea 27K USD per capita GDP vs Japan's 39K USD.
Wandering Ravens yes they are. Tho korea has been more dynamic and chaotic. Give it another 10-20 years and Korea will change again. There’ll something you’ll love and hate about each countries. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
Japan received billions of dollars in weapons, materiel and technology by American and European powers for volunteering to fight the Russians. Before that, Japan was a poor nation. Japan did not have electricity until the Americans had built a power station. Japan is a nation that was created by the American and European powers.
I think Korea is much more concerned about appearances. They are not yet a powerhouse, but they do everything to give off the appearance that Korea is a powerhouse. It is very smart actually, because it increases interactions with other countries and attracts investors. There is a reason why Korean media and technology has grown so rapidly in the last couple decades: because they are marketing geniuses and if the rest of the world finds Korea interesting, the Korean economy will boom. And that’s exactly what has happened!
Actually I went korea too and the air was not that bad. Maybe it is because of seasons,I just went there for 1 month in summer. I didnt remember any day that the air was like that. I agree that that in seoul air was not good but in other cities like busan or jeju the air was good also sometimes in seoul the air was perfect. I dont think that you are lying. You also went there but maybe its just your chance that air wasnt good.
Thanks for watching our video! You're right, the pollution is seasonal, but in a given year, more days in Seoul are polluted than not polluted. For example, summer is often light on pollution, but fall and spring are generally pretty bad. We lived in Korea for two years and wore masks almost every time we went into Seoul.
This is exactly what I was looking for! I love these types of nuanced comparisons. You'll never find this stuff in "general" fact resources. Would love to see China added to the mix too!
We visited both, one after the other, last year and loved both countries. The people were nice, the food good, everywhere was spotlessly clean and they felt totally safe to wander around. Japan definitely has the edge though. It's a much larger country with more to see.
I don't understand why you had issues with things not being it by English in Japan. I traveled almost the whole country in 2015 speaking and reading zero Japanese and there's nothing Google translate couldn't figure out for me, especially transportation related. The translations have come a looong way since then, so it's even easier
The radiation dose in Seoul is three times that in Tokyo. The number of nuclear power plants is 42 in Japan and 24 in South Korea, so there are more in Japan. However, Japan's land area is more than three times that of South Korea, so the density rate is higher in South Korea. I wonder why you think this issue is someone else's affair
@@user-ld4kn8ju2r Cut the crap. Your low intelligence is highlighted. It doesn't make any sense that nuclear explosions are more radioactive than countries that have been detonated three times. Don't you know that there's Fukushima near Tokyo, and the polluted seawater of Fukushima is coming to Tokyo?
@@abc-cv7rc Why is it so aggressive?lol calm down please. Why do you interfere with the problem in Japan? The problem of nuclear power plants is also in South Korea. Although the radioactivity is flowing to Tokyo due to the Fukushima accident, the radioactivity in Seoul is more than three times higher. First of all, what do you think about the Korean problem?
@@user-ld4kn8ju2r I'm asking because I'm really curious, do the Japanese really think Korea has a higher radioactive concentration than their own country? Then you have a really shocking and terrible information power. Is it the limit of analog? LOL 😆🤣😂
@@abc-cv7rc You don't have to be so depressed about radiation issues in South Korea. I'm not blaming it. I'm just saying that you should prioritize solving problems in your country before blaming others. If possible, prove to me how knowledgeable you are. I am looking forward to it♡
And yeah, I tell people who come to visit that it's like being 20 years in the future but also 20 years in the past at the same time. Heck, in Tokyo you could walk for an hour and go from Edo-era buildings to 90s to futuristic. Osaka is a little more balanced toward 90's modern.
Wait... English in public transport was lacking?? That's weird, I can honestly say I've never had that problem in Japan. And I've lived out in the middle of nowhere. It might be more of a matter of knowing where to look or waiting for the sign to switch to english
@@Zapporah85 hey I may be staying in japan for a year to study, if you don't mind me asking, which part were you in? I'm thinking about going to Kyoto, do you know anything about it, what it's like in general etc.?
@@pinknicho Kyoto is great! I've only ever gone as a tourist, but I've been on every trip to Japan so 4 times in total. It's a beautiful, old city with culture just oozing out of every crack in the sidewalk ❤️ I love Japan, I worked for a Japanese tour company for 2 years so my job was to tell people how great it is and I always spoke the truth. People are very kind, the cities are meticulously clean, and it's very convenient for English speakers. If you're going to Kyoto Uni, I know they have plenty of classes in English so you should be fine. I think you'll enjoy yourself!
I agree with these. I think half or more of the cafes allow smoking unfortunately. Japan is always stereotyped as futuristic when Korea is much more futuristic than Japan lol. Although, you were showing clips of the hankyu train which is famous for being an old vintage train but even the normal trains look like they're super old
Thanks for watching! And I wasn't actually aware that that train is famous for being vintage. So thank you for telling me! Nonetheless, you're right that even the newer subways in Osaka still look considerably older than those here in Korea.

Ce qui me fait péter un câble, c'est que les commentaires sont bourrés de coréens qui passive-aggressively disent des conneries sur le Japon. Ils ont tellement de haine contre le Japon qu'on dirait qu'ils ont un orgasme a chaque fois qu'un étranger dit qu'il préfère la Corée au Japon.
Je suis bien conscient que t'as des jap qui sont putain de raciste envers les coréens, mais ça reste une minorité. Alors que les coréens putain ils ont un problème vraiment profond
@Ken narville once again, you talk about Japan like this, but I have the feeling you really have no clue. May I ask if you have ever been to Japan? To me it sounds like either you're repeating some bullshit you saw online, or heard from someone who really had a problem against Japan.

Japan subways look vintage
New york city: made over a century ago
Actually Japan subway also was constructed a century ago, Korean one, 30 years ago.
@@leonkasper97 you are incorrect. It’s been almost 50 years. But the reason why it’s so modern is Korea invests in it and evolves it - adapting new technologies and just let it evolve to the life style, ultimately optimization.
@@RT-xv3js not a hundreds years ago, then not so different. Before the war and 70-80’s technology is quite different, recent made one east to upgrade. Tunnel size quite different. Also Seoul metro was constructed under the Japanese financial and technical aid.

Korea and Japan are just Asian countries, we have each other's cultures, and Koreans and Japanese have to respect each other's cultures.

Finally a sensible comment.
It's horrible to see people attacking each other to see which country is better when both countries have their own charms.
True. Korean and Japanese cultures are just wannabe copies of Chinese culture. One can even say they are regional cultures of China. How adorable of them to thing they are unique.

Korea - real life

Japan isn't actually as anime-centric as you think.
Your from korea
@Drann Nervial well there are many positives and negatives in both countries, like all nations, so your opinion is perfectly valid. I'm not disagreeing with you, but I have a certain appeal to Japan a little more, but I still think South Korea is great.
@Drann Nervial Hah. Funny joke
@Drann Nervial Right back at u
Japanese people are shy, very shy.
This is because Japan is an island country, has no interaction with foreign countries, and has remained a shut-in. Korea is a peninsula, so it wasn't as big as Japan.
That's why I'm so afraid of talking to foreigners.
However, Japanese people are friendly, so if you open up to them, I think they will open up to you.
@Wentthere-xj4mm However, it is connected to the continent, and its relationship with China is deeper than Japan.
@Wentthere-xj4mm So why do Japanese people stay in Japan and not go overseas? Guam and Hawaii were all conquered by Koreans. Even though you say that
First impression
1. Japanese are more quiet and Korean are noisy at restaurant.
2. Japanese cuisine are more delicate.
3. Japanese (ways of doing things) are comprehensive, but leak of flexibility at the same time.
Finally, I guess most people agree that Japenese public toilets are the most cleaningness in the world😂
Now, I am exploring Korean culture > by watching Korean dramas.
I could feel popular culture of Korean are duplicate from Japanese (industrial, drama and fashion).
By the way > Japanese politeness in restaurants and service industries are part of their work. Even Japanese don't like the custom or really hate you, Japanese people rarly expressed in their face. This is what I was told from some Japenese book.
ok weeb ^^
Foreigners say japanese are polite but are dishonest. And Koreans are hastily but honest. You are also Japanese, but you are pretending to be a foreigner.

It’s natural that you felt Korean trains are more modern because Kyoto and Osaka are famous as Japanese Traditional Cities.
They should look old.
Even Japanese people think so like me.
Comparing Seoul with Osaka with modern aspects is weird.
Tokyo and Kyoto are totally different.
Yes, they should have compared Seoul to Tokyo!
Yes! Also they should compare Air pollution VS Aftereffect of Atomic bomb or infruenza in Japan Now? is it fair enough Guys?
Stop doing bullshit
I know air pollution is sucks in Korea But There is no end to comparison.
Ken narville
I'm sorry it's wrong .
coz there are lots of foreigner
I think you're right. If Osaka is an old city, then you should compare it with Tokyo. But Osaka, which has a population of 2.7 million, and Gyeongju, which has a population of only 200,000, is not comparable in Korea. Maybe Daegu is similar. Since Osaka, which is the fourth largest city in Korea, is third after Yokohama, but that video shows that the population of Osaka or Incheon is more modern than Osaka.The population is 2.7 million in Inchon and 2.5 million in Daegu.
Quite contrary to what "Ken narville" described here, Kyoto (京都) and Tokyo (東京) are two of the most major tourist destinations for foreigners. The people in both cities tend to speak English much better than those in the other cities (although the Japanese are generally not good at English due to the geographical and historical isolations etc.) In general, the people in Kyoto and Tokyo know how to treat and welcome the expatriate guests.. There is NO place in Japan where the citizens tend to be hostile against the foreigners. Ken narville is only ignorant and arrogant.
2:26 I don’t think so.. there are plenty of cheap restaurants in Japan

I feel like Japan is so culturally different from the west it will be hard to adapt. Korea is different too but I opens up faster I think
Thank you for the good video! The air quality in Korea is affected by China. Since a large number of Chinese fossil fuel factories are collected in the West Sea, the fine dust index is high during the windy season in China. I have been able to see clear skies often since the factories in China stopped due to the Covid-19
Weird.. Every station we went to in Japan had English, and I don’t think we went to one restaurant that didn’t have an English menu
Strange! We were in Osaka and Kyoto, so maybe different regions and different train lines have better English?
Wandering Ravens hmm.. I remember Kyoto didn’t have English announcements on the trains a lot of the time...? Other than that, I never had an issue with English - but yeah, Tokyo probably had more English comparatively. Didn’t get to go to Osaka!
Weird! We'll have to visit again. It must have been differences in train lines then, because I know we almost got lost a few times because there weren't English signs or station markers. Though, I can't remember if that was in Osaka or Kyoto.
Wandering Ravens It could be that we (unfortunately) never ventured out of the touristy areas of Kyoto. Maybe the further you get from those areas, the less English? Anyway, cool video!!! :)
Actually, my wife is Japanese so....
One reason why buses, taxis, and some metros look vintage out of 1950s in Japan is because a lot of infrastructure in Japan was already created by that time and even before that while Seoul and rest of Korea had to start building everything new.
Yes that is after the invasion of Japan in Korea and on August 15, 1945 is the independence day of Korea. But the very important fact is that Korean transportation keeps evolving. They get upgraded and better every time there is a new technology - adding TVs / GPS system at the bus stop / protecting screens in subways are all added within the last 20 years. So nothing to do with what you say where Seoul and rest of Korea had to start building everything new.
It doesn't justify their buses and taxies from 1990s.
The guy in the train at 6:55 was watching League of Legends, lol, that’s my guy!
xD
Basically Japan is old money, they’ve been rich since before korea was even split into two, while South Korea is Asian new money, they just became recently rich 90s-2000s.
Why is everyone comparing these two specific countries to each other? Why not China and Mongolia? Japan and Korea are two very different countries, is it because the girl in the video is Half Korean? I don’t get it?
Delivery culture in South Korea is amazing!
YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YESYES YES
In the end, Japan is the best, and there's no question about it.
....??
I've been to both countries, Japan and Korea. They are both amazing, but Japan is more organized and sophisticated in my opinion.
Thank you for watching! I'd agree that Japan is definitely more organized.
I think Japan already had an advanced culture from Edo jidai.
Doesn't Korea have its own advantages like being newer

I think Japan is the country with the best civic consciousness in the world.
Coz most of Japanese infrastructure we're developed earlier in the last century whereas Korean developed at a later age
Nah Korea developed pretty early too, it’s just that the Qing didn’t allow Joseon to build major infrastructure when they took over the Ming, also countless invasions and Japanese colonialism in the later centuries takes a part too.
Korea isolated themselves after the Imjin War because they believed foreign intervention would ruin their country even more. After the opium war, Korea became even more hesitant to open up because they did not want to face the same fate Qing did. They only began to modernize in 1897 when the Korean Empire was proclaimed, which was somewhere around 30ish years after Japan. Korea was already too late because Japan already had ambitions in Korea. I would agree with Jamir.
Korea rebuilt their palaces and temples. So many of the original buildings were built earlier in Korea than Japan.
Japan quick build after ww2 in 1945, but korea Slowly after korean war.
@@yogadgsix true, but the reason why Japan was able to do it earlier than Korea was because they had already been a developed country while as Korea had never been one. However, I think it is very impressive that Korea went from being the poorest country in the world to becoming the 9th largest economy.

what i've gathered is that Korea is more open to western culture, whereas Japan is a little more reclusive
I read that Japan has interest and respect for the west.
@@underated17 Yeah, but it's different when it comes to integrating Western culture into its own culture. I think Japan is quite a bit more protective of their own culture. Even Korean pop music is more influenced by Western (particularly US) pop music, whereas Japanese pop music is closer to European Classical styles.
Also remember that Korea is just recently (in a historical context; i.e. < 100 years ago) starting to open up to Western influences, after WWII (1945). On the other hand, Japan opened up to Western influence starting with the Meiji Restoration (1868) and even earlier with the "arrival of the black ships" (the Perry Expedition, 1853). So Japan, as a nation, is already past the stage where everything about Western culture seems new and awesome. Right now, Japan's at the stage where it's trying to re-affirm its identity after a period of great change.

比べる必要ないじゃろ どっちも違う良さがあるじゃろ
If you want to know why Japan has more houses just look at the landmass size between South Korea vs Japan. You will suddenly realize why South Koreans build up. Also, SK had to rebuild completely after the Japanese occupation and the Korean War. That's why many Korean buildings look cookie cutter because Korea had to rebuild so fast to house so many displaced ppl.
Japan has a high literacy rate for hundreds of years. It was higher than that of European countries. For a long time in Japan, the language culture was rich and the rational culture was mature. On the Korean Peninsula, slavery existed 100 years ago. Nearly 40% of the total population of Korea was a slave. At that time, South Korea's literacy rate was 6%.
Yes true but most Korean don't think Japan helped their education but just feel they have invaded.
so korea is somewhat western and japan still very traditional

Too late xD
It's 1970 when the industrialization started in South Korea. It's called New Village Campaign. Korea's per capita GDP in 1960's was 150 dollars. Korea came a long way in about 50 years time.
Japan's started their industrialization in Meiji period in 1868. So Japan had 100 year head start on South Korea. And even today Japan is still a bigger economy with 2x population and considered wealthier than Korea 27K USD per capita GDP vs Japan's 39K USD.
Yup! Both countries are doing an amazing job! :)
Wandering Ravens yes they are. Tho korea has been more dynamic and chaotic. Give it another 10-20 years and Korea will change again. There’ll something you’ll love and hate about each countries. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
Exactly right. Every country has it's pros and cons.
Nominal one : South Korea $ 32,000 and Japan $39,000
And PPP: same
Japan received billions of dollars in weapons, materiel and technology by American and European powers for volunteering to fight the Russians.
Before that, Japan was a poor nation. Japan did not have electricity until the Americans had built a power station.
Japan is a nation that was created by the American and European powers.
This is an act that offends the two countries.

@@HyperFocus666 you too🤭
I think Korea is much more concerned about appearances. They are not yet a powerhouse, but they do everything to give off the appearance that Korea is a powerhouse. It is very smart actually, because it increases interactions with other countries and attracts investors. There is a reason why Korean media and technology has grown so rapidly in the last couple decades: because they are marketing geniuses and if the rest of the world finds Korea interesting, the Korean economy will boom. And that’s exactly what has happened!
SKorea once went to bankrupt in 1997. The recovery from that was by the strategy by IMF.
Actually I went korea too and the air was not that bad. Maybe it is because of seasons,I just went there for 1 month in summer. I didnt remember any day that the air was like that. I agree that that in seoul air was not good but in other cities like busan or jeju the air was good also sometimes in seoul the air was perfect. I dont think that you are lying. You also went there but maybe its just your chance that air wasnt good.
Thanks for watching our video! You're right, the pollution is seasonal, but in a given year, more days in Seoul are polluted than not polluted. For example, summer is often light on pollution, but fall and spring are generally pretty bad.
We lived in Korea for two years and wore masks almost every time we went into Seoul.
The major cause of air pollution is from China. Before China’s industrializing, Korea uses the words ‘청명한 하늘’(meaning, cleared sky) alot.
This is exactly what I was looking for!
I love these types of nuanced comparisons. You'll never find this stuff in "general" fact resources. Would love to see China added to the mix too!
China although is considered East Asia but it’s really different from Japan/Korea in many ways.
We visited both, one after the other, last year and loved both countries. The people were nice, the food good, everywhere was spotlessly clean and they felt totally safe to wander around. Japan definitely has the edge though. It's a much larger country with more to see.

Why don't you talk about Japanese radioactivity....It's more serious problem than Korean find dust..
The radiation dose in Seoul is three times that in Tokyo. The number of nuclear power plants is 42 in Japan and 24 in South Korea, so there are more in Japan. However, Japan's land area is more than three times that of South Korea, so the density rate is higher in South Korea. I wonder why you think this issue is someone else's affair
@@user-ld4kn8ju2r Cut the crap. Your low intelligence is highlighted. It doesn't make any sense that nuclear explosions are more radioactive than countries that have been detonated three times.

We do have coffee shops in Japan, but they are definitely fewer. Probably because the vending machine coffee is so good! I love it!
And yeah, I tell people who come to visit that it's like being 20 years in the future but also 20 years in the past at the same time. Heck, in Tokyo you could walk for an hour and go from Edo-era buildings to 90s to futuristic. Osaka is a little more balanced toward 90's modern.

Thanks for watching! And I wasn't actually aware that that train is famous for being vintage. So thank you for telling me! Nonetheless, you're right that even the newer subways in Osaka still look considerably older than those here in Korea.
@。えるnestお 15% do your research buddy. and no it didn't clear things up. The word "Futuristic" doesn't just apply to one thing buddy. Look at the city, you will no what he is talking about. Even Tokyo looks so unorganized
Well, practically Korea has not train. Almost all are subways.
Japan has both train and more modern subways!
@@estelagarcia6579 What? Of course that in Korea we have trains and they're well-known for their fast speed it's called KTX🤗

Dear, if you listen carefully the content of the video, you will realize that they are talking about trains within cities and not long distances!
Japan is the best and so polite!! And so many kawaii things❤️❤️🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
It's such a beautiful country!
And hentai. ....
I moved from Korea back to the us and I made a 3 day stop in and stayed at the Hyatt in roppongi (Tokyo) and the price was 43500 yen and coming from Korea I interpreted as oh...$43....biiiiiig mistake $400+ later I corrected and checked out the very next day
@@missplainjane3905 1) and 2) korea and Japan are both very highly developed, on pace with the US. Infrastructure wise, korea seem to be behind the US. Lots of places don’t have a US type sewer system instead Benjo ditches….I think Japan has those also. Scenery is beautiful for both, korea has a similar interstate system like ours. I would recommend the KTX (bullet train) if available. Japan the trains are available and a lot cheaper to get around. Lots of history and beautiful scenery too much to list
@@missplainjane3905 3) the characteristics were great. I’m a young black male, I got lots of stares that at first made me uncomfortable, but I quickly realized this was because they never seen a black person before. I remembered the kids taking pictures next to me. Asking for pictures. People stopped eating at a restaurant to point and come talk to me. 😂 weird but, never had a bad experience. Japan has some areas where they don’t cater to foreigners (Kabuki cho) but those places are few and far between.
@@missplainjane3905 Korea, shopping especially around Osan Air Base (US) Seoul is great, korea is great. Japan is great, food is great, Tokyo shibuya Shinjiku narita great, but it’s expensive picture it as living in New York just more expensive
Thanks for posting this video! I found it really informative and useful!
There are house like that in korea too (in country side..😅
両国一部のよく分からない奴が喧嘩してるが私は韓国も素晴らしいと思います🇰🇷👍
Japan does not have many high rises bc of earthquakes!
まず多分日本は韓国の事ライバルなんか正直おもってません笑笑
I agree :) We didn't mean that Korea and Japan are rivals, this was simply a comparison of the countries for foreigners living in Europe and America :)
こういうことを言い始める人が良くないね
Perfume乃木欅、その全てが箱推し ほんとそれな 気にしてないといいつつ対抗意識・劣等感かなんか丸出しで見ててこっちも恥ずかしくなる
すみませんが,韓国では日本に関連したニュースさえ出ません。
@@skchuo 韓国で日本関連のニュースがあるんですか? インターネットではありますが,放送では日本関連のニュースはありません。 韓国人は日本であれ中国であれ,米国であれ,あまり関心がない。日本のように放送で放送された韓国人や中国人、米国人を歌って置かれている放送文化もなく、今回のg-20もこれといった放送に出ないですね、大きな関心がありません。
When it comes to infrastructure, I cannot agree. Were you in Tokyo?
We were in Osaka. Going to Tokyo later this year :D
Ease of life, environment, noise, human kindness, all Japan is good🇯🇵
Ken narville but this video is comparing japan and Korea, and personally, compared to Korea I think that the social situation is tons better, in japan- I felt unaccepted as a foreigner in Korea but in japan people were welcoming. Every other social element is similar in both countries so I don’t understand your point
Korea❤️
Japan🇯🇵 Highly Developed
Korea🇰🇷Newly Developed
Yes! Exactly^^
If theyre developed, then why claim Developing status at the WTO?
I just said what I read in my Class 7 book.😂😂
New and high
@@WanderingRavens well Korea is highly developed too. I think it has the advantage of being newer than Japan in development
