– The Yunessun Spa Resort in Hakone offers its guests the pretty unique experience of splashing around in a vat of pork soup and ramen noodles.
– Specialists make this kind of food from plastic or wax, and it looks just as delicious as the real one.
– Their photo booths, called purikura, allow you to edit photos right on the spot, adding different backgrounds, funny stickers, or writings. – Japan has more than 5 million of them! Mostly because they save time for people who work late hours, which is a pretty common thing there.
– In 2015, Godzilla was granted citizenship in Tokyo's Shinjuku ward. – Punctuality is a really big thing there, and train stations do everything possible to avoid a delay.
– While in many other countries slurping is considered rude, in Japan it’s a way to show your appreciation of the dish.
– Japanese people don't eat mayo with salads, meat, and sandwiches; in Japan, people usually use it as a topping for ice-cream or on pancakes. – World’s shortest escalator is in the basement of More’s Department Store, which is located in the city of Kawasaki. The escalator has only 5 steps and is only 33 inches tall. – The village of Nagoro used to have a population of 300 people, but less than 40 residents live there now. A local artist, Tsukimi Ayano, made over 300 life-size dolls, most of which look like former residents; and they’re located in various states of action. – It’s common for Japanese culture to avoid the number 4 because it’s considered to be very unlucky. – They use a blue color instead of green for traffic lights. The reason for that hides in their language: historically, there was only one word for both colors.
– Japanese kids learn how to clean in many schools because it’s a part of their education. – Toilets in Japan are very high-tech. To use one, a person should know what all those buttons are for.
– Since Japan is a densely-populated country, they don’t like to waste space. That’s why their parking lots have a smart system. They’re designed like multi-level garages. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz
