When I was in Japan, I was walking along one of the many lakes around Mt. Fuji when an old fisherman waved me over. He didn't speak much English, and I didn't speak much Japanese, but he invited me into his fishing shack and we talked about our jobs and what we like about our homes. He gave me a huge bag of jerky fish and said, "if you come back, I will be here". I think about him every week 😭

probably wanted to murder you and eat your skin as jerky. I wouldnt go to weirdos shack in the middle of nowhere. Trust me, not even in japan. In the west you get robbed, in japan you get skinned by the one weirdo. Have you seen the murderers in japan? Im not sure there is worse fate than what they did to their victims.

I completely understand that "feeling" you're referring to at the end. In 2015 I went on a high school exchange to Japan for a year and lets just say my arrival in Japan was very stressful. Because of all that stress I went through I began regretting my decision to study abroad and was feeling really bad. After my host family at the time picked me up from the airport and I was in the car on the way to their home, I had a change of heart. What made me change my outlook was simply seeing life going on around me. I saw a person riding their bike, other cars on the road with us, all the homes in my host family's neighborhood and all that made me think "you know what, this is nice" and I never regretted my decision again after that. I ended up loving my year in Japan so much that I plan to move back in a few years.

I had the same experience! I went on exchange to South Korea. The language barrier, the issues at the airport (I went at the beginning of 2020 - and I had my exchange terminated due to COVID), the initial stress. It had me deliberating upon whether I made the right decision. I had exactly the same anagnorisis, at exactly the same time. The drive home from the airport. Observing everyone around me. My host family gave me a Korean name (the romanised version is actually my username lmfao), and I started feeling like I could do it, as challenging as the journey was.

Felix, about the being in the delivery room thing: I know you said there isn’t really any bending the rules but I hope you do try! I’ve read someone say that they were able to stay the whole time before birth (not after) after doing a PCR COVID test on the spot. Maybe you could also ask the doctor for help with getting some sort of exception due to whatever reason: not fluent in Japanese, first pregnancy, high stress, whatever it is. Medically there is good reason for her to have you there to provide support and comfort in an extremely unfamiliar situation. I hope you’re able to be there at the very least longer than the 2 hours 🙏🏽

There are hospitals that will allow it. And I understand the feeling of not wanting to be the Gaijin and fuss about the "rules", but it is definitely worth the push. The regulation is going to change in a couple months anyway so why not push for it now.
This is exactly why their society functions so efficiently compared to ours and we catch a bad rep for this stuff lol. It's always worth the push cause we're all so special and deserve special treatment to any little thing specific to what is important to any individual. I agree who wouldn't want to be present for their childs birth. But that's the thing about other cultures. It's not yours. There will always be things you may not be able to understand or relate to that you just have to accept. A lot of the west struggles with that.

I'm an Italian studying Japanese at University. My professor found the best analogy to describe this language's difficulty: it's like Maths. Japanese truly is a hard language in the same way Maths is a hard subject for many people. If you're able to understand and memorise it's many rules and ways of expressing things, you're golden, but it's very hard to get the gist of it if you're mind is more optimised for something else. This other analogy is my own: kanji are like working out. You end up enjoying suffering and enduring because you get addicted to that sense of gradual growth and development you get when you achieve a new goal or milestone. In the end, kanji suck, but they're so much fun.

I don’t know Japanese but I certainly know mathematics, and so I can confidently say this: maths is not about memorization. Maths is a link of logics chained up together. Memorization of formulas is not mandatory for mathematics. They are essentially shortcuts you could say. There are many ways to solve the same problem that otherwise you would probably use a formula for. You can derive many formulas and rules in mathematics if you understand the fundamental building blocks.

I came to japan recently and theres unfortunately a lot of misunderstanding between how open the people are here. Im staying with another host student whos from taiwan and he doesnt speak japanese or english. The day after we landed we were walking around nearby and went to a small sushi restaurant owned by an older couple (maybe 80). They were extremely welcome and regardless of what stereotypes say, they were very friendly to me and my roommate and they were very interested in talking to us. People here are usually very friendly and i have not had any issues with the people. Another example is my roommate wanted to use a tourist discount at a store nearby and the workers didnt know how to do it. We were holding up the line and i felt kinda bad so i told them that it would be ok if they couldnt do it since the line was stacked up. They declined my offer and decided to go through with it even though it took a lot of extra time and then THEY apologized for an inconvenience that we more or less caused. These things are all small ik, but they make a huge difference and regardless of what people say about japan its really a place you have to experience and connect with to understand. Whats seen vs reality is very different and i think its a very welcoming place.

As an American living in Japan 15 years, it's just like what was said in the vid. Form your own opinions. Most of the negative opinions I hear are from other long-term expats living here who don't know Japanese and get disgruntled from loneliness, failed relationships etc. Be careful, it is extremely contagious amongst expats here! Once you go down the road of criticizing Japan, it's hard to recover. I have 2 half Japanese kids, so I don't like to criticize Japan very much, and I don't have much to criticize anyways, Japan is a better fit for me than the USA x100000.

Maybe that whole aspect of people treating you better if you are having kids, people expecting everyone to procreate and add to the world's extreme overpopulation, is part of the reason why so many people are deeply depressed. Many can't afford to support a spouse much less a family and they suffer from that societal judgement. People get treated like they are selfish, like they are inferior and there is something wrong with them if they aren't married and having kids.

I almost spit out my drink with the cones bit. Absolutely hilarious. Having lived in Japan 15+ years, I can say that many of the cones are there to keep someone out of a certain spot without the need to warn or confront them. There is a myth that Japanese people are loathe for confrontation. It's not always true, but there are some situations when it is. Say you owned a small business, located on a street near a bar. And every single evening, the bar's patrons would exit and decide to congregate at a certain spot in front of your business for an hour or so, talking and laughing loudly, maybe even deciding to use your wall as a toilet. Well, they might take the hint and go somewhere else if you throw a few cones up lol. And look at that, you didn't even have to go outside and start yelling at them (confrontation avoided). It works on animals too. Maybe a certain stray cat likes to poo in a certain spot near your house every day. Sometimes placing a barrier there will cause the cat to find a new spot, without you having to, uhhh, confront the cat I guess. I know cats don't understand cones, but they can work like a scarecrow. The very presence of the cone being there when it wasn't before, might ward the cat off. That's also why you will see CDROMs hanging from some people's windows, or sometimes from places in kid's parks and stuff. They supposedly ward away crows (personally, I doubt that works, but people here tell me it works). I also think that cones get put up after something that the Japanese consider to be anti-social happens. For example, you might see a random tree in a little park get roped or coned off. It might be because someone crapped there, or carved something into the tree, or something like that. Even though it was probably a one-time event, the cones just get put up and stay forever lol.

Such a wholesome video. We all have our stereotypic ideas of Japan, but most of us never get the chance to actually have those stereotypes exposed to reality. Thanks, Felix, for giving us these slices of Japanese life.
To be honest Japan it's pretty good, but if there one thing I don’t really like about it is that Japanese people are as we say in my country "solapados", meaning someone that hides their thoughts in a "malicious" and cautious way, that’s why they can be "friendly" to you while at the same time they hate you and talk bad behind your back, it’s really hard to make new friends because they are always trying to cover they real intentions, thoughts and feelings, so you never know if they are genuine. Also, you should confuse certain attitudes which are not really about being nice but about being condescending.

@@andriatsiklauri5757 Translation: This time, I dare to leave a comment of appreciation in Japanese. As a Japanese, I am grateful to you for introducing the good and bad points of Japan to so many people in an objective and polite manner! I think Japan is a good country in terms of being a very safe place to live as well as the culture is a very good part. However, as shown in the video, the fact that people are forced to follow unreasonable rules that are not happy for anyone, even if the reasons do not make sense, is something that even from a Japanese point of view seems strange, and I feel that it is a problem that needs to be changed. (For example, if someone in a higher position than you is working overtime, you cannot go home on time because your priority is to help your boss with his/her work, even if your own work is finished, etc.) Finally, thank you for liking Japan. I will be happy if we can continue to be a country that is easy to live in for more and more people.

As long as you're Japanese. They're a horribly racist country. They hate Koreans and black people and have many bars and restaurants and other buildings that foreigners aren't allowed to enter. They have an insane suicide rate and a very shaming culture. I think the average amount of sleep is like 6 hours across the board and they're even more "work till you're dead" than america is.

I usually don’t leave comments that often but this one hit home. I just came back from my Tokyo vacation and I kinda feel depressed being back. It was a long time dream of mine to visit Japan and it was the first time but somehow I felt really comfortable everywhere I went. The people where really nice and I felt like they really cared for your problems and it didn’t felt like I was asking for too much when I was asking for help. It really felt genuine. I don’t want to romanticize anything, I know every country has its problems but I just realized that the people are just really different form where I come from. I hope everyone can find the place where they can be happy and felix genuinely seems to have found that place.

Its important to note that his experience of living in Japan is going to be different to 99% of the people (average person) who wants to live here. The most ideal set up is his set up where he earns in foreign currency like USD for example and spends that in Japan, without having to actually "work" in Japan. That is the best because you get amazing bang for buck in Japan ANND you avoid many of the negative aspects of Japan which is associated with the working/colleague/service aspect of Japan. Working in Japan is not ideal as the salaries tend to be fairly low and you will have to work surprisingly hard for such low pay. Just keep that in mind!

On the last point. Personally, after living about 10 years in Japan, this still holds up. It's very rewarding to live here, as long as you can keep up with the rules. It's a peaceful place, although you will never fit in 100% and you will have to answer the same questions a million times. It's part of the "gaman" you have to endure, like everyone else, though the reward is unparalleled IMO.
