How was Japan now? 10 things that are simply different

Now tell me, what was Japan like now? I think you can answer this question quite simply by pointing out the things that are simply different (cool) in Japan. So let's start:

1. In Japan you don't push your way, there are queues everywhere. Be it in front of the train, toilet, bus stop or at the traffic lights. There is no pushing in Japan. You line up and wait your turn. This creates a lot less stress, everyone is calm, no pushing or anything like that.
2. There are CLEAN toilets everywhere. No matter which toilet you go to. At the train station, in the EKZ or simply in the city - it's always clean!
3. Heated toilet seat. As Siar says, it's one of those things you never knew you needed. But once you've had them, you don't know how to get by without them. You stagger to the toilet in the morning, still sleepy, and a lukewarm toilet seat awaits you. It might sound strange to you, but it's absolutely brilliant.
4. There are clean changing and nursing rooms everywhere! I have particularly appreciated this since Singapore. Soooo awesome. And in Japan they were just as beautiful as in Singapore. I would like that for Germany too.
5. There are baby seats in public toilets. Anyone who has a baby knows this. Going to the toilet on the go, but where to take the baby? Japan has the answer to that. There are baby seats in both men's and women's toilets that you can easily put the babies in when you are sitting on the toilet.
6. Almost all of the streets are clean, even though there are hardly any public trash cans. Why? Because in Japan, people take their trash home with them. So you always have a small bag with you and simply take your rubbish with you. If you don't really want to carry your rubbish around with you all day, you can go to a supermarket, there are rubbish bins there.
7. Currency exchange machines at the cash registers. There are cashiers in Japan, but they don't have to worry about counting or changing money. There are machines at the checkouts where you simply put your money in and the change comes out immediately. Saves time! Some of these are available at Shell gas stations in Germany.
8. With a baby, you have priority over everything in Japan. At the elevator, airport or train station. With a baby you are always allowed to go first. Generally a very child-friendly country.
9. Invisible lanes even for pedestrians. Whether shopping mile, street or stairs. There is always a direction. This way there is never any crowding. And the best part: almost everyone sticks to it
10. There is a drinks machine every few meters (really!). There are not only cold drinks, but also warm drinks such as tea. By the way, heating cabinets are also available in supermarkets. Drinks and food are served warm, not cold.
    

Of course, we could also find a few negative things. For example, there is little to no vegetarian, let alone vegan, food in Japan. There is always everything with meat or fish. Only very occasionally can you find something vegetarian. Or that hardly anyone in Japan speaks English. But for us the positive aspects simply outweigh the negatives.

Japan is simply different and you have to see and experience it. We'll definitely come back one day. After all, the country is big.
By the way, we liked Hiroshima and of course Mount Fuji the best. The city had a little bit of everything and that's why it's our number 1.
