Japan is known for its unique culture, advanced technology, and orderly lifestyle. However, behind the media's surface, there are many interesting facts that are not commonly known to outsiders. Here are some of them:<\/p>\n
There's a Village Filled with Dolls<\/strong><\/p>\n In a small village called Nagoro, the population is very small because many have moved or died. To \"populate\" the village, a resident made over 300 life-size dolls and placed them in schools, bus stops, and even fields. This village is now known as \"Doll Village.\"<\/p>\n There's a Cat Island and a Rabbit Island<\/strong><\/p>\n Japan has several islands inhabited by more animals than people:<\/p>\n Transparent Public Toilets<\/strong><\/p>\n In several parks in Tokyo, there are transparent public toilets. But don't worry, the glass automatically becomes opaque when the door is locked. The purpose is to demonstrate cleanliness and safety before use.<\/p>\n No Tipping<\/strong><\/p>\n In Japan, tipping is considered rude or confusing. Good service is standard, so there's no need to tip extra. If you leave money on the table, the waiter might chase you away, thinking you forgot to pick it up.<\/p>\n Trains Are Always On Time (Extremely Punctual!)<\/strong><\/p>\n Trains in Japan are known for being punctual down to the minute. If there's a delay of even just one minute, the station will formally apologize, and passengers can receive a late notice to show to work or school.<\/p>\n Older Workers Are Still Active in Many Places<\/strong><\/p>\n Many older people in Japan are still actively working, especially at stations, parks, and supermarkets. This is because they want to stay socially and physically active, not just for economic reasons.<\/p>\n Unique Sounds at Railroad Crossings<\/strong><\/p>\n Every station or railroad crossing in Japan often has a distinctive song or sound to signal the departure or arrival of a train. This makes the train ride more comfortable and less boring.<\/p>\n A Culture of Silence in Public Places<\/strong><\/p>\n In Japan, talking loudly on the train or using a phone in public is highly frowned upon. Even in crowded places, the atmosphere can be very peaceful. Japanese people value communal tranquility.<\/p>\n Data source : Rhike Resty A, S.S<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jepang terkenal dengan budaya unik, teknologi canggih, dan kehidupan yang tertib.
