What makes Japan unique ?

You know, the little things make Japan different.

Here are 12 examples of such differences;

1. Blind drinking culture
   
   Blind people now can know what’s inside drinking cans by reading the braille written on top of the can.

2. Saving natural resources
   
   A common type of toilet in Japan is where you can wash your hands with the newly added flushing water, and reuse it for the next flush.

3. Street art
   
   Manhole covers in Japan are beautiful.

4. Consideration for others
   If you lose your shopping bag on the streets, it’s probable that someone will place it somewhere untouched and easy to find. And no one will take it.

5. Location of fish
   
   Fish (Koi) are sometimes living in drainage channels in Japan.

6. Toilet courtesy

With modern toilets, you can mask pee and poop sounds with water sounds.

1. Umbrella policy
   
   Umbrella lockers, so you can leave it at the entrance of the building, and no one takes yours accidentally (no one would steal one anyway).

2. Neatness
   
   It’s common for Japanese people to have orderly manners.

3. Emergency procedures
   
   Elevator seats that can be used as a toilet in an emergency.

4. Restaurant menus

Fake, plastic menu items in front of restaurants that looks just like real food.

1. Bathroom etiquette
   
   Separate slippers for using the bathroom.

2. Egg retail
   
   Eggs sold in vending machines is common in the countryside.

And that’s my list of things that makes Japan a little different.
