error4040: At OP tho Asia is far Safer in crime related issues compared to other Regions I refuse to believe No.4 to the Case of japan. My reasons are because they mostly deal with Organized crime or you mean you Haven't heard of Japanese Mafia or the Yakuza
Yakuza is a thing of the past. The Japanese government dealt with them and basically wiped them off. You can’t even open a bank account or eat at restaurants or get a job as a restaurant. And Yakuza stay clear, don’t bother foreigners
amjf: Japan, with a population of roughly 126.8 million as of 2017, is an island nation in the Pacific Ocean with high-rise-filled cities, imperial palaces, mountainous national parks and thousands of shrines and temples and home to some of the best technologies in the world.
Tokyo, the crowded capital, is known for its neon skyscrapers and pop culture. In contrast, Kyoto offers Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines, gardens, and cherry blossoms. Sushi, the national dish, is served everywhere from casual pubs to gourmet restaurants.
Here are some interesting facts about Japan:
1. Japan has over 6,800 islands
You might know that Japan is an island nation, but did you know that there are more than 6800 islands in Japan? The four biggest islands are Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku, which together makes up about 97% of the total land area.
And don’t forget about the paradise islands of Okinawa with its beautiful beaches and tropical climate.
2. Japan has the most vending machines in the world
To every person, there are approximately 23 vending machines. You can buy ANYTHING in a vending machine including, cars, lettuce, underwear, hot ramen and even an egg. You will find them everywhere I swear! Vending machines are a huge part of Japanese culture and to me, that is extremely useful! You never have to talk to another person again, bliss for an introvert like me! lol
3. Japan has the third highest life expectancy in the world
Japanese have the highest life expectancy in the world due to their diet and lifestyle. They are very healthy people and exercise regularly. On average men will live until their 81 years old and women 87 years old. This is causing a crisis in Japan because there’s a lack of childbirth also. Now there are more seniors than children and this is causing a problem for the Japanese economy. Apparently, Japan sells more adult diapers than children’s – how fascinating and problematic at the same time!
4. Has one of the world’s lowest crime rates
Japan is one of the safest countries in the world, so if you worry about crime, you should probably look into moving here. The most common crimes here includes stealing a bicycle or umbrellas left outside the convenience store.
At the metro and trains, you can see locals who take a nap while having their phone in their hand or clearly visible.
It’s also not uncommon to see people walking around with their backpacks and bags open. Another thing, people don’t even lock their homes all the time or their bicycles! That’s how safe it is in Japan.
5. Best Animes
Animated Japanese films and television shows (i.e.: Anime) account for 60% of the world’s animation-based entertainment. So successful is animation in Japan, that there are almost 130 voice-acting schools in the country.
6. Don’t wear your shoes inside
Raised floors help indicate when to take off slippers or shoes. At the entrance to a home in Japan, the floor will usually be raised about 6 inches (15.24 cm) indicating you should take off your shoes and put on slippers. If the house has a tatami mat room, its floor may be raised 1-2 inches (2.54-5.08 cm.) indicating you should take off your slippers.
7. You’re allowed to take naps on the job
Japanese people are working more than any other country in the world and the working days are long. Since a couple of years back, some employers are letting their employees take a power nap at work, to recharge and get more energy. It’s pretty interesting, and overall I would say that power naps are very common in Japan, and you will constantly see people taking power naps on trains.
8. Fruit is the best gift you can give
If you don’t know what to get your host, then gift them fruit they really do appreciate it.
9. They take cleaning seriously
Cleaning is taught in school and is a serious part of Japanese culture. Students and children clean their own school! I have to say on my travels to Japan I thought it was one of the top 3 cleanest countries I have been to. There are even neighborhood (volunteer but mostly compulsory) clean-ups. People are always expected to keep their private houses and their workplace clean!

No. 8 is definitely not true. You will be fired. Japan has some firms that are known to be frugal and break labor laws ; they are generally regarded as black companies.
8. Also not generally correct. Fruits are ridiculously expensive in japan. The cheapest fruit is banana. The rest are heavily overpriced . Water melon sells for 12,000 naira, mango for church 1500 naira. There are also gifts called omiyage; snacks or Osake; Japanese wine
aguizm: Up till now, most countries of the world have moved pass Covid19 especially Europe and American that were the worst hit continents.
Moved past? Which countries are those? By moved pass, you mean vaccinations? Because Japan was the only country not to have gone on a total economic shutdown. Germany is still on lockdown. So many businesses are closed in Europe and USA.
70 million usd for bus stop meanwhile Lagos has no drainage system, nor pipe borne water, no good transportation network, no good hospitals. Please how do we access public records of this Highway robbery?
Officialseriki: If you’re into construction then you’ll understand better... the said amount also includes road construction, design, quality control, logistics, labor and material cost. Biko not everything done by the government is fraud.
Areola14: From the way some of you talks about Japanese, it's like they are good people.. as long as someone enters a country with complete papers.. you will be free. That's just the moral of it.. let our Nigerians people in America and UK and other European countries talk, what you will hear them talk is racism, been treated bad. If you are not knowledgeable enough, you will not want to make any attempt to travel.. but they will never tell you the reasons why they were treated that way.. most of them don't have valid documents, some of them have over stayed. Some of them don't even have a tangible reasons of been there, mostly are there for criminal purpose... I love when he said, he went back to meet the immigration Officer's when he forgot one of his papers.. for him to have gone back there, it means a lot and will not be treated any how.. as for me oo.. I cannot travel and see a police man and start running or will not be free... I respect myself a lot!
Nigeria has bad reputation in Japan as well. Simple google Nigeria and Roppongi. Infact tell a Japanese that you are Nigerian and his seventh sense is activated
aguizm: Thanks for this info boss. So they are still talking about Covid19 over there why to us here it's like an old news. Business long resumed as usual.
Covid 19 is a big deal in Japan. People are dying of it
Japan allows only residents to live and come back . It’s expensive as you most stay 2 weeks in government designated hotel. Japan doesn’t allow for first time visa holders to come in yet
12inchess: Simple economics. Crypto currency are valued in dollars.So essentially its increasing the demand for dollars. Which I understand from the part of CBN. But who wants shit Naira that loses value like pure water? Are they done giving dollars to Dangote at 335 or not?
greencard: But she was locking up black men for minor offences
On some Feminist sh*t
She had better stick to her Indian root, same card Obama rode on , waiting he later do for black people ...gay and lesbian and trans
That is what she did, stuck to her indian root. She never talks about her dad (black) . She’s married to a white guy. She’s doesn’t share the black values or understand them. I have seen her type. “ oh I may not black but I am Asian” ,
GreatMage: I do watch animes and read mangas alot...
I have always love the Japanese culture from a young age and can hold a simple conversation in Japanese
Great to know. I think the school is in a better position to answer your question. Kindly send an email to the international department of any school of your choice.
SmartPolician: Rev Father Kukah is a priest who is unapologetic about his belief in a great Nigeria. So, one million and one of that uncultured idiot cannot stop him from criticizing an oldie who has taken Nigeria's leadership to its lowest ebb.
Btk1986: Kindly enlighten me on this: Can a graduate of Christian Religious Studies apply for Masters in peace and conflict studies? Thanks
