Things to be amazed by when visiting Japan

The good manners of the Japanese people are globally renowned. The rules in public places like "always forming lines and waiting quietly when it's crowded," "maintaining silence on trains," and "cleaning up after eating at restaurants" are truly admirable.

In Japan, not only upscale establishments but also ordinary shops like supermarkets and local eateries exhibit a commendable level of service. The high level of customer satisfaction experienced by visitors is also a result of the service provided by Japanese staff.

Many visitors are struck by the cleanliness of Japan's streets; there's rarely any litter found on the roadside. Despite a sparse number of trash bins, the fact that almost no litter can be seen is surprising, especially considering the population density of over 100 million people in a relatively small land area.

It's astonishing that in most places, even women walking alone at night encounter no issues, and lost wallets are sometimes returned.

In Japan, it's a rarity for trains and subways to be delayed. Even during peak hours, they operate on an almost precise schedule. If there's even a slight delay, the railway company will issue a delay certificate. There have been instances where the train departed a few seconds earlier than the scheduled time, prompting apologies from the railway company and gaining international attention.

Japanese cuisine, a UNESCO World Heritage, and Tokyo, which boasts the most Michelin stars, offer an array of mouthwatering dishes. Regions also offer delicacies that are worth the visit, ensuring that one doesn't tire of the culinary delights. This is partly due to the Japanese people's keen interest in food. Especially with traditional sweets and kaiseki cuisine, intricate colors and shapes are prevalent. For visitors, Japanese food might be unfamiliar, but opinions such as "I don't know what I'm eating, but it looks beautiful and tastes delicious" are common.

Spring brings cherry blossoms, summer offers beach activities, autumn showcases vibrant foliage, and winter presents opportunities for experiences like igloo building. Each season exhibits its unique beauty. In this sense, Japan becomes a place where one might want to visit four times a year.
