10 Strange Things In JAPAN 🇯🇵

10 Strange Things In JAPAN 🇯🇵

K Michael and now we’re in Japan and we’re going  to tell you 10 very weird and strange things about   Japan that you probably haven’t heard before yes  because we Doo explorers and we travel Japan for  

You and we can tell you from our experience what  is weird and what is not so roll the video number   one on our list are vertical parking lots Yes  you heard that right in Japan the parking lots  

Are not like spread out but they are more going  up vertical up in the sky in very tall and thin   buildings you drive with your car on a small disc  on the ground in part of the parking lot the car  

Gets spun around you can enter the parking lot  and then the revolving magic happens the cars   go like this bo bo bo bo boom and till they reach  their designated spot all the way to the top when  

You going to get your car back you just come  there present the ticket press the button and backwards and the car is ready so that you can  drive with it outside on the circle and then out  

Of the parking lot very interesting and in case  you park like an idiot outside this can happen   to you the guy would come and pick your car up  and he will drive you to the impound and there  

You have to pay a lot of money to pick your car  up so yeah interesting Japan very nice you came   with a solution to the space of the parking lot  build it vertical and this way you have more  

Space to build other things around your parking  lot cool so number two on our list and this is   a weird one Japanese people are obsessed with  a lot of things including maze for some reason  

They love it when the girls get dressed nicely in  a ma uniform and you go inside the cafe and the   girl comes to you and says hello master what can  I do for you master to me it’s a bit of a weird  

Thing but then again this is what they like so I  don’t know what to say about that considering the   fact that we don’t have something like this in my  country maybe that’s why I kind of find it weird  

But then again T is own even in broad daylight the  maids are parading down the street they’re sitting   sometimes in a corner trying to give you a leaflet  and trying to convince you to come to their cafes  

Which is in one of these buildings like this  usually on the top floor because again reasons   so if you’re ever in Japan you might encounter  a maid on the street you might encounter two   maid on the street you might think it’s weird but  then again rest assure that they are working in a  

Cafe it’s a nice environment for them they are  protected usually they don’t like being filmed   so on rare occasions if you want to going the  camera to them they will try to shely look away   some were cat ears some were bunny ears some were  a different kind of team so you have different  

Types for different people and we’re here in Osaka  to talk to you about the third weird Point here   in Japan which is the fruit and the veggies which  are incredibly expensive if you’re trying to go to  

The market you’re a vegetarian you might find  some uh fruit and veggies in your food but if   you want to buy them fresh they’re incredibly  expensive people they appreciate their local   products very very much they refuse to get the  products from an external source to import them  

Because they might get afraid their health might  get impacted the quality might not be that good   that’s why they prefer their own local products  and that’s why they keep the farmers in high   high regard and the products they need to look  perfect that’s why the farmers they take great  

Pride and great responsibility in creating the  best fresh products for their very specific kind   of customers the production cost is the same but  for the very perfect kind of on item to be put on   the display in the market this makes the product  so expensive and number four on our list there are  

No trash cans here in uh Japan wherever you might  go around the street you cannot find the trash   can whatsoever why we have no idea literally we’ve  been coming from Kyoto all the way to Hiroshima to  

Look for a trash can just 400 km with this thing  on with the freaking box of noodles there’s no   freaking trash can in this country why why explain  to me why why is it so hard to find the trash can  

You’re supposed to bring the trash I think back  home literally this is the only place I could find   the trash can over here God knows in the middle  of nowhere literally and just around the corner  

There there there there why Japan why normally in  Europe there are a lot of trash cans and a lot of   like small bins where you can throw your trash  but here in Japan apparently not so very strange  

Behind me you have a baseball team bar and this  brings me to my number five of the weirdest things   in Japan people here have an obsession over  baseball as well this is the biggest country   outside of the US where baseball is popular they  even have A League of Their Own the Americans they  

Call it Japanese baseball even though technically  it’s the same baseball as the people in America   they play we’ve been to the Hiroshima carp game  we had so much fun and we enjoyed it so much and  

There’s a lot of memorabilia that you can buy with  baseball from hats to pins to balls to jerseys to   everything you can imagine everything is baseball  team including food in the Super Market the steam   with baseballs and also the weirdest thing of them  all the manhole covers in Hiroshima they feature  

The Hiroshima carams so this baseball obsession  is pretty interesting from a country which is like   far in the East this is a good Obsession I like  it I approve so as you can see behind me there’s  

An older couple feeding the cats and this brings  me to number six on our list there is this cat   Obsession everywhere Japanese people are obsessed  with cats and this also can be seen through their   mangas in case you didn’t know one of the weird  things about the Japanese uh mangas or the animes  

Is that that the characters they don’t look like  the Western people if you look closely from the   profile every character in a manga or anime they  have big eyes pointy noses and very very small   chins they have incredibly cute faces all these  features they are taken from cats also we’ve been  

On a cat Street which confirms you this obsession  over cats the street was called the cat alley or   the cat Street in the town of on and we made a  video dedicated for that you can see it somewhere  

Around here on the screen it’s night time so time  for number 7 the internet cafes here in Japan very   weird here in Japan the internet cafes provide  you not only with surfing possibilities and like   browsing the internet and mangas and reading in  the small library but they also provide you a very  

Interesting accommodation option so if you want  to go more into detail we made a video which is   going to be somewhere here on the link so you’re  going to have bed beds or some sort of mattresses   you’re going to have chairs and gaming consoles  you’re going to have showers eating places  

Washing machines laundromats everything is super  accessible and it’s one of the tips to visit Japan   here it’s very weird compared to our country or  very strange because in my country internet cafes   are just for browsing and that SI a chair next to  other people and that’s it you just sit there and  

In browse the internet but here you can actually  sleeping friends Bros like do whatever you want   to do because the rooms are also soundproof  so next time you’re coming to one of these   remember that you can also sleep overnight and  number eight on our list as you can see from the  

Backrop that I have Japanese people they love  gambling be it Pinko or slot machines or claw   machines or shooting galleries where you shoot  your products with a cork gun or whatever kind of   a risk and reward kind of a situation the Japanese  people will love it you will see them flocking and  

Queuing up to win the latest toy in a crow machine  or stay for hours and hours into a Pachinko   Gallery trying to play with a slot machine wishing  for the high price it’s a risk and reward type  

Situation you don’t risk you don’t get the Pikachu  that you always wanted in my case I tried gambling   at a claw machine wasn’t that much so successful  I lost one 1,000 yen but then again I got lucky  

In the end and I finally at least I found some  sausages which I was lucky enough to win from this   nice looking machine yay nice sausages okay let’s  go good job in the end what can I say no risk no  

Reward if you want to gamble with your money come  to Japan there’s a ton of opportunities to lose   your money in one of these places or these places  or the other ones around us also back in the day  

The Osaka Tower used to be lit up with apparently  now they’re conserving energy well at least the   area around you is nicely lit up and you can have  a nice backdrop very bright yeah and number nine  

On our list you might believe it or not but the  trads here in Japan do have delays it’s uh quite a   weird fact considering that all the trains here in  Japan arrive specifically on the door sometimes it  

Happens there a weird situation that the trains  have delays and that’s when there are a lot of   people in the wagons they’re trying to come in  and uh people are being pushed inside actually to   reach their destination in time so there’s a lot  of people there’s a lot of standing like feeling  

Like sardines in a can it’s not often happening  and uh when it’s happening the conductor comes and   apologizes for the delay so far it only happened  to us once but this is weird enough for Japan and  

Point number 10 on our list we are now in the  airport and this is the most weirdest airport   that we’ve been so far because we are on an island  Yes you heard that right the Japanese people they   managed the impossible and they build a freaking  airport on an island because because it’s Japan  

And because they can and because they could and  because they did and coming here over the bridge   which you can see over there in the distance  when you’re on the train you see only the sea  

And you’re going towards the sea and it’s like  the bridge is not finishing anymore and all of a   sudden you see oh look there’s an airport there  are airplanes flying off from there the airport   is very minimalist it’s not very complicated but  uh it has a very simple design and I think that’s  

Because it’s on an island and so many airlines  are flying from here but make sure to P lightly   because the people here are really taking into  consideration all the traffic regulations and   all the baggage sizes and all the everything so  and all the liquids and all the drinking stuff  

And everything and everything and everything so be  careful the Japanese are very thorough when you’re   packing when even when you’re departing from the  country yes oh man speaking of departing we have   to depart because our plane is almost leaving  I don’t want to go I don’t really want to go I  

Mean even though Japan is a bit on the quiry side  it’s one of the best countries that we visit so   far and definitely on the top favorite of mine  indeed it is we going to be back with love you  

Japan but for the big surprise you’re going to  see our next destination on the airplane here   on an island so let’s see if we can guess where  we are going that being said time to go subscribe
