Some people may say that the Japanese spirit has a huge conscience.
Not too much crime in Japan, it's pretty much a very safe country!
Lots of safety in Japan!

Victor and the guy of find me in kurume, thats a nice combination
its like this where i live. I live in Oregon, USA. We also have the borrow umbrella too.
i think it's good.
when the people need umbrellas, the store lend them.
more people come to the store, when they need umbrellas.
it's win-win relationship between the store and the customers. it could also raise the loyalty to the store. the people in the community support each other and trust each other. it seems like an ideal society to me.
I've seen unguarded merchandise outside of stores in America as well. A good example was in front of book stores, A table with the bargain books on it, so people walking by might have their eye caught by something and then buy it. Never seen anyone steal a book from there, but I'm sure it happened.
The Umbrella 'rental' thing for free is a nice gesture, put the store's name on it and it would build goodwill towards the store, plus a bit of advertising. At a pretty low cost.
Same here in Korea. Thanks for sharing. (By the way, you have a typo in the video title).
In canada they do have clothes and other items outside the shop, but its definitely rare.
The umbrellas however are not seen here.
- Toronto
I see that all the time in New Hampshire though we have a lot of cool people here
Outside the dollar store in my town they have lots of stuff packed outside, but it's not in a walking area. Most of the stuff they leave outside though is cheep junk they throw away if not sold. Sometimes seasonal items.
i think each umbrella probably costs like 300 yen. it doen't hurt much for the store even if they were stolen.
for the one who wants to borrow an umbrella, rain would be a good reason to visit the store and buy some stuff. they will visit the store again to return the umbrellas and they probably buy some stuff again.
if it says "free giveaway", people just take them and go.
plus, this service is also aimed at promoting trusts to the store by showing their trust to the customers.
I couldn't agree more. Thanks for taking time to stop by and comment.
I live in Oregon and they have barrels of umbrellas that you take then bring back to one off the barrels when your done with it.
Absolutely!
I live in a small town in southern ontario, this is actually kinda common
Yeah.. the discount store I always buy my every day non-grocery supplies at... there are literally TWO AISLES the length of the store itself and a tent of merchandise outside the actual store. I always feel really awkward when picking up stuff outside to bring it in because the thought of possessing store merchandise outside the actual store makes me feel like someone's going to look at me suspiciously... but no one does! Just go in and buy it like it's nothing! Still a strange feeling.
totally see stuff in front of stores in Canada, everywhere, super safe country
Those umbrellas most likely belong to someone, there are always full umbrella racks here too. Sometimes people take someone else's from the rack.. sometimes by mistake though.
Thank you Manny!! =)
Another good experience in there is how polite and kind the many of the adults were.
2 years ago, I gave my umbrella to a very old man in Noda station because he doesn't have one and that day the rain is pouring heavily. Before I continue, the old man ask for my address. The next day he was knocking on my front door with the umbrella I gave him and a big bowl of chicken soup.
He went all the way from Omiya to Nishikujo just to thank me.
I remember seeing umbrella's outside many stores in Tokyo. There are some shops on Yonge street close to my chiropractor that do put out items...but not many.
Wow...how awesome was that!
Would not have that happen here in Florida, unless perhaps it was a kind foreigner like that! Not many around.
But how sweet of the man. That's just awesome!
Thanks for putting up quality and informing videos.
For you...anytime!
HEY, MARK! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
nice!
That's what they do here in my small (university) town in the USA. Do they leave their stuff out all night long, though? I've seen that, too. Because usually the store can't give the junk away.
I've seen plenty of stores do that here in Canada. Nothing too expensive of course, but the downtown core of the city I live in will have items of no more than $50 value within 2 or 3 meters from the door during the mild time of the year. As for the take and return umbrellas, no chance! That can never happen here. I don't think stores would do that for their employees never mind a potential customer. I like your videos, keep em' coming!
Excellent comment, thank you =)
I'm pretty sure these items are saleable, don't think they leave it out overnight.
I live in Ottawa the capital of Canada and there are lots of stores here that have outdoor displays that you bring inside to pay for, not sure which part of Canada you are from but I have live here all my life and seen this many times.
Thanks for watching.
My name is Mark. Nice to meet you =) Thank you for watching!
It's pretty much like this throughout Australia. Some pockets not so much. But I wouldn't even know how to lock my car. My back and front door at home, I lock for my own peace of mind. But it isn't that necessary. Just saying
im guessing its the same in germany also
Very nice! :)
In Japan, I often buy a Mikan(Citrus unshiu) at a unattended shop
(always, literally nobody is there, except the time of "collect money") in my neighborhood.
Customers pay money into the box, and get products like a Mikan.
★Strangely, in many cases, there is more paid money remained than needed money,
because of lack of small coin, according to the shop owner.
This is the Japanese society.
People get accused of stealing for such things.. but yes, sometimes it should be that way!
They do get taken, but I think these have stamps on them, probably won't be stolen very often from here.
Thanks for watching!
ありがとう！
LOL!! That would be an awesome prank!
This just shows that Japan is more civilized and educated than most people who lived in western and European countries.
I lived in Japan for few months, I could just leave my bike outside the dorm bike shed unguarded and it will be there the next day.
Also more young people are grateful and respectful toward the elders.
i live in ashland ky usa and the majority of our stores do this
No probs. Many bikers in my community at the grocery store, or convenience store just hang their gear off bikes, people don't really lock their cars either. There are some assholes, but mostly fine during the day.
my umbrella got stolen twice in 1 week in japan
Pick pockets there?
Thanks for watching =)
hmmm...
My sense of humour would so get me trouble in Japan.
The first thing I thought was to take an umbrella then put it back with a rubber spider on a string tied to the inside.
I think part of the reason theft is more rare in Japan is because being caught as a thief incurs a tremendous amount of both personal and familial shame. I don't think western thieves sense as great a cost to their character. Most Japanese do not relate to rationales and concepts like "sticking it to the man," the thrill of "pulling a fast one," or "living by one's wits." A culture that places so much value on team & community frowns on sacrificing the good of others for self-gain.
I've seen this in the united states, but its usually just family stores and thrift shops.
Wow u hooked up with victor . yeh that's what I love about Japan in sydney u could never do that ,
It's probably one of the top ten safest countries in the world.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention volcanoes. japan has volcanoes. Don't know why volcanoes would be considered 'safe'.
３００年程前に、百貨店の三越の前身の呉服屋は雨の日に傘を無料で通行人に貸出して有名になったらしい。日本には昔からあるんですよ。
Gimmeaflakeman wow never I expected you to find you in this video! This was just a random video i clicked lol you know quite a lot of people!
omg that's so evil... but i think it would make for a good umbrella theft deterrent when at a restaurant. perp takes it, goes outside, and a big ass rubber spider pops out. screaming like a little girl ensues... now i've got to go buy a rubber spider lol
Fact of the matter is that my wallet was stolen regardless of my bag being returned. How does that make japan 'safer' than any other country?
I've forgotten my wallet in two different places in the U.S. and it was returned to me with no problem. All cash, credit cards, ID cards etc intact.
Glad you're having a great time in japan, doesn't mean crap doesn't happen. It isn't a perfect paradise. Never was. Crap happens. Crap happens just about the same as any other country.
Yep! ;D
Lots, but it's not too hard to find them, either, it seems.
A future rainy day video, perhaps?
Just don't get yourself arrested. LOL
I live in Toronto and near me is a shopping centre that has free umbrellas that you can just take and bring back when your done using them... Like not everyone in Canada is a dick you know
+Stephanie Starkey Really nice that they do that.
You see this in Germany or don't see it? Thank you for watching.
I am from Canada and there is a shop right around my street in a relatively busy plaza, especially with high school kids during lunch time, where they have clothes, handbags, shoes, etc outside their shop.
That's great! I'm happy to hear when you and others post comments about that =) Thanks for watching!
You're welcome. I found you through bryan in japan and your videos are pretty good :) keep it up.
Cool Thanks! Bryaneasy?
Yes, bryaneasy.
In asia japan, south korea, singapore and taiwan is pretty safe...my opinion
Nothing to do with the vid (which is cool anyway!) but thats a neat trick on the end titles with the link to Reinas channel ;) (how do you do that? ,Its a great idea, let me know! ) Stefan wasn't a pervert till he came on our show haha! Wow is Canada so corrupted?
誕生日おめでとう。 Hope you're having a great day...YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
in Japan, Fukuoka (where I live) you can NOT leave your bike or scooter in town - it WILL get stolen - so~ yeah, we have thiefes....more than enough. Also everything here is insanely overpriced so no company cares if they get robbed of a view things.
german here. totally normal.
I can't imagine the many people in japan who are domestically abused saying that japan is a 'safe' country.
As anyone should know, domestic violence in japan has long been an ignored problem.
Crazy man!
How is this not insightful to how amazing and awesome the culture is in Japan? I think this is the first comment you have left, so maybe you don't really watch my videos anyways. You don't have to feel obligated to watch my videos, I make them for fun and enjoy making them. Thank you for watching and commenting anyway. Is there anything you wanted to see that would make you feel better about watching Japan videos?
The Japanese are honest until it rains. Then umbrellas are fair game.
I wound up with a tub full of cheap vinyl umbrellas next to the front door, but I reckon I lost more to rainy-day-umbrella-theft than I kept.
So anyway, don't get caught out in the rain because you thought Japanese were perfectly honest.
Forgot my bag on a train years back. Got my bag back only to find out that my wallet was stolen out of my bag.
' Kind ' enough to return the bag....... at a cost. Thieves with a conscience?
say what oO i was so surprised you compared it to canada
from what hear canada's house doors arent even locked vs in the eu
Yuniko Yato I suppose it depends on where you are. Large cities definitely, Toronto has such a negative reputation for gang violence as well.
FindMeInKurume thank you for replying,meanwhile ive checked some other videos from you
i love em, job well done :)
Yuniko Yato You cant compare canadiens not locking their houses with EU, you need to compare it with the US because Houses in EU MOSTLY dont have doorhandles ( mostly just a knob to push after you turned the key) on the outside of the doors. So when they are closed there is no way you can open them even if they are unlocked.
I live in Toronto and a lot of stores have stuff outside that you have to take in to pay. I understand that some cities are different, but to say that in Canada that doesn't happen is wrong. Canada is a very safe place. Unless you are from Vancouver :-)
Mikiko Jane Vancouver is awesome, but yes lots of stolen cars. Toronto is infamous for gang violence and crime though, great to hear something positive about that city! =) Thanks for commenting!
FindMeInKurume
I hate to beat this dead horse but you can find gang violence and crime anywhere and I wouldn't say Toronto is known for its crime. Also, Mikko is right. Just take a stroll down to Chinatown in Toronto and there are plenty of shops with stuff outside.
David Zuniga I should add Kensington market and some stores on Queen street near the beach have stuff outside. I moved to Vancouver once and I was able to stay there for just 8 months. I couldn't take it anymore. All that crap on Hasting street, the stores that are all franchises or chains (not many private stores like here in Toronto), and the horrible weather. It's not a good city. That's why I was able to tell that he was comparing Vancouver to Japan, not Canada to Japan. If a Japanese person is reading this and want to move to Canada, my advice is go to Toronto. It's awesome! :-)
Mikiko Jane Your advice is so good. But we cannot take it because of long history between Vancouver and Japan. According to my English teacher (Japanese) his grand father once lived in Vancouver before WW1. Canada joined the allied from the onset of the war. He volunteered to join St Patricia regiment and fought in the western front of Europe. He started fishery after discharged. However Anti-Germany movement prevailed in late 1930s. He could not help but return to Japan unknown to him.
岡充太郎 I'm not sure what you mean, but that is just history. In the present, there are a lot of Japanese people in both cities. There is a big community of Japanese people in Toronto. Every Sunday I go to a park near my house to watch Japanese guys play a few baseball games. I think it's the Canadian-Japanese league. There are even direct flights between Toronto and Tokyo, so it's very easy to get here. Times changed, we are not in the time of the war anymore.
So is the suicide rate; horrible. PLUS people here work too many hours.
Totally! When I moved here, I was surprised to see no bike racks.. I should make a video! There are racks but no one ties the bikes to the rack. When I grew up in Canada, we always had long cable bike locks that we tied the bike to a bike rack with when we parked it.
So, Japan is like the Canada of Canada.
Unfortunately, as the number of foreigners increasing, Japan is becoming less secure and clean. People started locking doors when go out, you see many litters on streets of major cities, and toilets are becoming dirtier etc. today.
Interesting. Thank you for watching!
Interesting. Thank you for your comment!
There are some in every country my friend. Thanks for being so friendly and watching my videos =)
I live in Holland and we also have a lot of stores where they put clothing or stuff outside to pick it up and buy it inside the store :) but too bad we do not have the umbrella thing :3
I live in Toronto and I see things sitting outside the stores for sale all the time. I'm not sure which city you're from, but don't paint us all in such a bad light. Something like that is not uncommon to see here at all.
Thank you sir!
Over here in the states, big retailers like Hasting's, Old Navy, Worlds Market, Ashley Furniture Home Store, etc... have clothing, books, and DVD's outside and you bring them in to purchase. Also, a lot of local business in the downtown areas have a lot of merchandise on display outside. There's the occasional people stealing but rarely. Don't think its only in Japan.
Thank you for your comment.
FindMeInKurume Next time, do a little homework and get your facts straight. We all know Japan has its own share of crime like the rest of the world.
Nicholas Manheimer US is listed as rank 1 in Top Ten Countries With Highest Reported Crime Rates for 2011 statistics while Japan is nowhere near the top ten. Also, US is listed as rank 10 for robberies recorded by police in 2006 while Japan ranks 63rd in the same year. Crimes occur in every country, but based on statistics and my experiences in US and Japan, I can honestly say that Japan is far safer place than the US/most of the world.
eine52 - Don't believe in those statistics. No matter where you live, crime will always happen. My aunt teaches English to junior high students in Hirosaki and crime does occur where she lives. Theft, break ins, domestic abuse, etc... Where I live in the U.S. its pretty safe to leave your doors unlock and businesses putting items out for display. On the other hand, crime does occur know matter what.
Nicholas Manheimer Have you ever been there? I have, and hes right. Japan > America Straight up.
The Safeway down the street has tons of produce, water, and soda outside with no supervision. Nothing special.
I think I have gotten so desensitized to the loads of expensive stuff outside a store, but I have seen computers, never would happen in Canada.
I wouldn't say it happens everywhere, but I see it more often than when I lived in Canada for sure. There are a lot of places, even in major cities that have rows of shops and it is very common to see similar things as this yes. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Where I live there's a lot of stuff left outside. It's called trash.
Yes, but usually only in shopping malls, rarely in a major metropolis, right? Nothing from what I remember, totally rare like you said. Thank you for watching!
Thanks, that's awesome!
I think many Japanese are content to be Japanese. So, Japanese immigration is very few. For me, low crime rate, convenient life (including convenience store), cleanness (like toilet), splendid service, polite, rational,calm and kind people, clean tap water and moderate individualism, deep culture in older times,and diverse sub culture are comfortable. There may be better countries than Japan. But I don't know.w I don't know why foreigners are discussing on Japan. Please leave us since we are content, wan to our place to better land and don't want to go anywhere. wwwww
Really? That's amazing for anywhere America! =) Thanks for commenting!
Yes, this was last year when I went to meet up with BusanKevin and the bunch in Kobe! Great time was had by all!
Thanks for watching Manny!
That's cool! I didn't see it very much when I lived in Vancouver. Rare to see. Nice that small communities still exist with trust like that =) Thank you for your comment!
We leave stuff outside the stores in Sweden too. Flowers, clothes and many different stuff just lay there open. No one is watching it. You grabb it, go insinde and pay. That's it.
kikki remmi Hhahahahha well I was just about to comment that :)
+kikki remmi That's nice. Hope to visit there one day.
Cool! I found this so interesting. =)
I really should have pulled one out and opened it to see what name was on it. Thank you for watching!
