Hello shogo
Hello!
@@LetsaskShogo how are you
we in slovakia need to open the doors on taxy almost everything is outdated we dont have sea so everything is transported by land that means that we travel by taxi bus or car and many of buses and taxis are rusty and old and I dont even mention our catastrophic trains but enought criticising japan is one of if not only country that have automatic taxis
30,000 yen can be divided by 2 is 15,000 yen
From what I learned from the Yakuza games is that your bike won't exactly get stolen, it gets obliterated on someone's head in a huge group fight
Kazuma has no chill fr
Before I moved to Japan I had a notebook filled with a lot of these cultural differences so I don't make any mistakes. It came in handy, but there was some I learned when there.
Here in the U.S. getting your bike stolen is pretty common but I've never really heard of clothes getting stolen from clothing lines also I think you'd be hard pressed to find a place where you can park on the stairs
PANTY RAID!
Stealing laundry from the clothesline (where it's hanging to dry) became much less common when Americans became wealthy enough that almost everyone had clothes dryers.
@@ColonelMarcellus makes sense
Your expression in describing the 'non automatic front door' in taxis: priceless. Thank you!
😂
I work for the post office in the US and that would be considered vandalizing the mail and there would definitely be a hefty fine. Destroying mail or stealing mail would lead to jail time, but Ice cream in the mailbox would probably just be a fine.
In the US, it is very rare for people to hang their clothes outside. Usually people use a dryer. I do hang mine to dry but I use racks inside of the house. At laundry mats I have had the issue of people taking out wet clothes and stealing the drying time before and just leaving my clothes on top.
Not so rare in more rural areas.
The stolen umbrella thing is so true. I had so many umbrellas go missing when I lived in Tokyo.
I lose a lot of umbrellas. I’m forever leaving them on busses and trains. You’ll see cheap “Bunnings” umbrellas everywhere.
*Bunnings is a local hardware chain store where you can buy common household items
@@belindamilne4922 mine mostly disappeared after I went into a combini and I would come back out and it would be gone.
When I'm still in elementary, my umbrella also got stolen 6times on rainy day. 1 time during my college day. Now I'm using folded umbrella and never get caught fever again.
And personally I also train my kids not to waste food if they can finished it. Because I want them to be grateful. Lot of people not only in our country die due to starvation.
I have never had a single umbrella stollen before living in Tokyo. During rainy season, I had four stollen in a week. In my hometown, high dollar items like bicycles get stolen all the time, but cheap things like umbrellas just don’t happen
3:28 Canadian here, having your bicycle being stolen is very common here, but clothing set out to dry and umbrellas almost never get stolen here
In Germany, if you have leftovers in a restaurant, you are allowed to ask to get it packed for you and you can eat it the next day. Furthermore, if something is left over, there are a lot of dishes that can be done out of it the next day, such as if you had potatoes the day before, you can do potato salad the next day - and it is often done in private households in Germany. Thank you for your reaction video though.
We don’t have the “ take home leftovers“ culture in Japan unfortunately… it’s because the restaurants want to avoid their customers suing them for eating food that has gone bad after taking home…😓 Yeah you would think that’s the customers responsibility, but in Japan it doesn’t work that way💦
I have encountered a few restaurants in Yokohama that offer taking food home, but it is the minority and always involves a piece of paper making a big deal about the customer taking responsibility for eating it in a timely manner.
....So then Germany is.... a country that exists? Um yeah, we knew that already!
I once heard about the ice cream in a mailbox law. It was because a teenage boy once put an ice cream in a mailbox, ruining about a dozen letters. It was around new years, so all were new years cards. The post office was able to clean up the letters, and send them out.
In my experience, trains are really only very crowded during rush hour. When traveling as a tourist, I am rarely out and about until after morning rush hour is over, so never experienced that crazy amount of train crowds.
In regards to the rice, I just remembered how different cultures can cause a very funny situation.
Individual A is teached to eat till the plate has no food anymore and has to eat of what has been given to them as a sign of respect.
Individual B is teached to give guests another serving, if the plate is empty.
If both come together you can imagine the result.
Big Chungus
I mostly hang laundry outside but I also bought a combined washer-dryer for those occasions, in winter, when it rains all week and you can’t hang washing outside. Over here, apartment blocks often have communal washing lines (usually a “hills hoist”) and stratas often have rules banning residents from hanging laundry on balconies, as it’s considered a fire hazard.
As a Child, I have also been told not to Waste Food. Also, in Europe Today a lot of People are talking how a lot of Food is being thrown away.
The Fact that In Japan individual Pieces of Fruit and Vegetables are being Wraped in Plastic, is, to my Knowledge, only a Japanese Thing. In Europe that never Happens. The EU wants to Reduce usage of Plastic.
EU also uses a lot of biodegradable alternatives, like plastic made out of corn husks and similar materials
@@nothereanymore3941 Yes, but that is usually avaiable only in Rich Big Members like Germany and France. Hungary and Croatia usualy don't get Products with them.
What is Plastic? Is it a famous band?
When Japan learns about 15,000 the wedding industry is doomed. Wedding gifts will have to be prime numbers.
In the UK most people hang their clothes to dry outside ... many are the times my colleague looked at the rain n the office window and ruefully commented about hanging her washing out! It's a whole thing here but the only time I did it was when I lived in a top floor flat and used the Victorian washing line which sat outside one of the windows. Wild birds also used to bounce up and down on that from time to time to wind up my cats. Because of all this laundry getting dried outside, it has also been a thing for underwear to get stolen : it's kinda a pervert thing ... but usually more annoying than harmful
Most of the people in the US whom I've spoken with dry their clothes in a machine dryer.... Which I understand are available in Japan but not often used due to the size and energy consumption.
I personally dry my clothing on a line.... But inside though. (I'd be nervous about outside drying attracting bugs, or neighbors' glances)
I dry my clothes indoors too!
@7:15 - what a motto for life!
so cute how Shogo tries to find the reason why someone would put icecream into a mailbox
the rule specifically applies to human clones, the sentence of ten years are because it is against the scientific code of ethics and the geneva convention to clone a human being
Uh, identical twins are natural clones. I can just see parents sadly waving bye-bye to their new babies for ten years! Yeah, yeah, I know the law is about artificially produced human clones.
For the « stolen clothes thief » in France I’ve never really seen my parents in houses/apartements without a laundry room. In houses (case of my mom) the laundry room is downstairs and in apartements (my dad’s case) the laundry room is the same room as the bathroom. But it depends with the people who lives inside the house/apartement, and there are cases where the laundry of someone can be seen outside of apartements it’s just that it’s too high for thieves to steal it. But yes it is usually inside.
In Mexico we dry the clothes in the backyard, which is outside, but still within four tall walls. You'd have some trouble jumping in and out to steal clothes.
9:00 - I’ve learned about the escalator sides playing Yakuza Like a Dragon. 😂
I'm glad I saw this! I was just getting ready to send Shogo some mint chocolate chip through the mail, but now I know better.
1:40 I live in Cape Town and we don't use umbrellas that often since the wind would just completely destroy them😅
Ice cream in the mailbox...maybe that was a common prank when the law was passed?
Rain usually on an angle making an umbrella kinda useless, or it's windy blowing around umbrella.
Wearing a hat and running works fine.
In SA, clothes dryers are only for when the weather is rainy outside (and Eskom hasn't cut your area's power from scheduled rolling blackouts).
In my country, I think it's pretty common to dry clothes outside, my family has always done it at least. But most of the time it's either in a backyard where no-one goes in, or in apartments it's on a drying rack on the balcony to the apartment, where no-one can get to either
In regards to umbrellas, we use them a lot in Denmark, since it can rain a lot, but we usually keep them on our person so they don't get stolen
And I think the bike thing is just a common thing all around
Edit: I really appreciate you putting sound effects when you add the little text things at the bottom. I often just listen to videos, and it makes sure I don't miss anything!
1:23 Japan is known as one of the safest countries in the world
Iceland: i beg your pardon?
I didn't know that about the taxi doors. That's pretty cool!
Love your videos ♥️
For the laundry (underwear) stealing I’ve only heard of that happening in the USA when an apartment building/complex has a communal laundry room, where people have to share the washing machine(s) and dryer(s) and if you leave your laundry unattended someone might grab your clothing. (I haven’t moved out on my own yet so I haven’t had this problem but some friends have said it does happen). I’m not sure the percentage but as far as I know the majority of Americans use a dryer for their laundry (either in their house/dormitory building/apartment building or at a laundromat) though there are probably those who dry their clothes outside.
Never thought of giving someone something with two hands as respectful. It is something I noticed about Japanese stereotype. But now that I’m thinking about it, if someone handed me something with two hands it would be a more pleasant experience. I like it!
Im from norway and bikes gets stolen all time here and we dont really use bikes alot i dont really see it as a japan problem its more that there are more bikes so more bikes that can get stolen
Another awesome video, thank you 👍👍
Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!
Thank you for your videos keep up with amazing work can’t wait for you to post more videos up
2:24 maybe someone had similar looking laundry so they took it😂😂
The taxi door thing is only Japanese yes. It was made by a Japanese man and became common i believe during the Olympics in the 60s as a hospitality if I recall correctly.
Hashi in left in bowl..... YES, some folks will scold you if you do such a thing. Usually it is done by my in-laws or "important" people sitting close to me in a restaurant... but since being scolded several times when I first moved to Japan, I do my very best NOT to do such a bad thing.
no wonder there aren't any Ninjas around, they all been arrested for their cloning techniques! xD
The smart ones got their clones arrested.
Hello Shogo! The name of the channel is let's ask shogo so here i come to ask: why there is two types of writing the same thing in japanese? For example: 浮揚 or 空中浮遊 / 公園 or ガーデン . And sometimes there are even more ways, are they used for the same purpose and only the writing changes? You use different types of writing for certain occasions?
I love the japanese culture and would be happy to see you talking about this, thanks!
Just like there are different words to represent “big” in English like “large” “huge” “humongous“ etc., each word has different nuances or specific occasions to use!
@@LetsaskShogo how about female version of japanese speaking and male version of japanese speaking?
Awesome video 😊
I live in a house in Texas, normally I let laundry get done passively, like I’ll cycle a load in the washer and dryer before leaving for work. But if I have extra time and a lot that I need to clean I’ll hang cloths to dry in the backyard
Here in São Paulo, a city in Brazil, we have the rule of escalators too! People who want to wait the escalator go up stay on the right, meanwhile the people rushing can go on the left side.
Hi Shogo, yet another beautiful video, it was really informative, and also the cloth hanging outside a house is very common in Czechia, but I feel like I've never heard about any panty thief from the Czech Republic in the news so it's probably just a Japan thing, after all, I've only seen it in anime and manga.
I would love to learn more about Shinto. I am an anamist looking to become Shinto. Would you ever do a video on it? Thank you so much for your content.
I actually have made a couple of videos before!
ruclips.net/video/2TNBFoXhIKA/видео.html
This one is probably my most recommended one✨
My beautiful umbrella was taken from the rack. It was a big deal!
Packed subway trains in rush hours in Japan are in no way, like *no way* near packed trains in Mexico. Japan's are heaven, like really really respectful, ordered, beautiful. I would switch gladly any rush hour in Japan subway system rather than one not-so-rush hour in México. Like, any day.
Also, the umbrella thing, yeah, when I got there (summer) I was like "This people have something for umbrellas!"... Then after two days of that burning sun in sweaty summer, we ended up buying them to protect our skin.
I loved visiting your country, wished I had found this tips before! But when I come back, I'll be prepared!
12:50
15,000: *allow me to introduce myself*
Here in Vienna Austria (オーストリア) we have the saying : Rechts Stehen , Links Gehen (stand on the right sight, walk on the left side) on the escalators in the public transportation
7:17 I thought leaving a bit of food behind meant that you got fed enough or if you ate everything it meant that you were still hungry.
I’m an exchange student living in the Kansai region. Are there any particular places or restaurants you would recommend for someone on a student budget?
You should absolutely check out my “Kyoto Hidden Gems” series😊

I did request a Japanese RUclipsr to mail a Wagyu Burger 🤤from Tokyo to my home in Houston,Texas, and I was willing to pay extra to Fedex it "overnight" in an insulated cryo box. Unfortunately, "Lemi from Japan" thought I was joking, so I never got to eat an authentic Wagyu Burger 😢.
you can actually divide 30,000 yen in two, which is 15,000 yen each
If you give 3 10,000 notes, the symbolic meaning is a bit clearer. Obviously, any multiple of 10 is also a multiple of 2, but 10 yen is very little money...
Many people in the Netherlands hang their clothes to dry outside too. You don't always see it because most people dry them inside the house on rainy or cold days or on their balcony/in the back garden.
But never have I heard of people stealing someone's clothes. Even when these clothes fall from the line. I think most people would either leave it on the ground or on the nearest fence for the owner to spot it.
I live in Canada and the only place I saw where people could hang their laundry outside where in fenced backwards. So it would be very difficult for anyone to even get access to the clothes in the first place. I mean if I saw someone I didn't know in my backward I would be more worried about myself than my laundry. I live in a big city now and even in apartment building some people will hang their clothes to dry, some of the clothes line pulley are attached to electric poles. It's a great way to save on your electricity bill.
I used to do my laundry and hang it in outside during college in the USA in a crowded city and never had my clothes stolen.
Stealing hanging laundry it's pretty common here in Indonesia. Well, the law just considered it as a regular theft.
Wait, Japan has automatic doors on taxis? Wow. I wish we have that here in Australia.
In my state of North Carolina, elephants cannot be used to plow the cotton fields
Had my umbrella AND bike stollen in Japan, but I’M REALLY STUCK ON THE CAR ON THE STAIRS!!! What??! 🤣
Pretty sure I know what group of middle school kids took the bike but never managed to get it back. 😭
🙄🤦♂️……Lol😂🤣😂!
Omg The Shade🌴🌴🌴 I love it!
I'm buying a bicycle lock for my umbrellas!!😰
I read the banners on the "Don't park your car on stairs" and it said "氷川神社", or Hikawa Shrine, far away from Kyoto, but almost near Tokyo.
Edit: I noticed there are a lot of Shinto shrines named "Hikawa", one in Saitama, one in Kawagoe, and one in Akasaka
Taxi doors open by themselves in Japan?! humanity has advanced so much and I did not realize
I love your reaction videos. Can you react to some of abroad in Japan's videos?
i read somewhere that if people stand only on one side of escalators it makes them wear out and break quicker, so technically best way should be standing in the middle or on both sides
In the U.S., nobody pays money to attend a wedding. The marrying couple pays all expenses except for guest accommodations. Guests have the option to buy gifts such as from a registry, but it's not required.
Give ‘em 30 thousand yen, but with 5000 yen notes
In Germany most Taxis have regular doors you open by yourself. Mostly only busses have automatically opening sliding doors.
17:30 the escalators thing. Here in the region arround São Paulo's capital city (also named São Paulo), one is suposed to stand only by the right side, since the left side is for those who are in a hurry (which is the norm). People who come here from other regions or the countryside usually don't know this and often get scolded, yelled or even cursed (and I'd not be impressed if things suddenly get fisically violent, some people are just way too stressed out there).
❤️❤️I'm subscribed
When I'm in restaurants and completely full, then I make sure not to waste food and ask the waiter to pack the rest "to go" for home. At home in the fridge it will definitely last at least till tomorrow. 🙏🏼
I don’t remember where I got my US mottainai culture from … my grandparents and public broadcasting? “Don’t waste food!” “Waste not, want not.” “Reduce, reuse, recycle.”
11:01
well, I do be dead inside /hj
Funny thing, my family has a clothes dryer in our house but we never use it. I personally never learned how to use it because we prefer to use drying racks and shelves. We used to dry them outside during spring and summer, but we were worried about bugs.
RE: not wearing shoes in the house, we don't wear shoes in the house either, but the "pointing the shoes towards the door" thing was not taught
- I think the shoes etiquette is something common in Eastern cultures. Here we have it to (and for reasons other than cleanness) and here also it is considered somewhat impolite to put or leave the shoe with the down side (sole) up, and if seen it is better to turn it around and make the sole down.
- Money wedding have something parallel in fact, originally in the Islamic teachings but it's not like a must but it is ought to help the newly wed couple to start their lives (and it's not supposed to be limited to money but can be other items as gifts). However, in some places, some people ruined this tradition by "bragging" about their gifts and I heard that some families (family of the bride and family of the groom) would compete and even fight on whose gift is better, so the ending result was that some of these groups of people would put an ad for the wedding and politely ask people not to give gifts. One example of something beautiful turned ugly by misbehavior.
I'll add 1 yen next time so it can't be divided then
the no shoes rule is definitely an Asian thing in general. in southeast asia you take off your shoes before entering a house.
Can you make a video about Isaoh Machi?(And can you both teach everything about katanas including wielding it?)
Ok I think I will survive in Japan (:
In America we take shoes off when we enter homes. But we don't do it for any other buildings.
I didn’t know about the automatic doors. I have never seen that before. I don’t live in a congested area and I have never rode in a taxi before so I really can’t say. I am from the US.
In Denmark you also have to be careful when using your building's communal laundry room (we usually have them in the basement of apartment buildings), because sometimes your neighbours might be creeps and steal your underwear. This happened to me when I was living in student housing with a shared laundry room
8:15 When the driver rolled down the window you should have leapt in, head first, to avoid touching the door. That is the polite way.
I live in the North Western US and we are very well known for having a lot of rain. Most people don’t use umbrellas. There are always exceptions but for the most part people here definitely don’t use them. I’ve even been able to tell someone was a tourist just because they used an umbrella anytime it rained
You can ride in the front seat of taxis? I didn't know that! In many countries taxis have a glass wall between the front and back seat to protect the driver from robbers and other bad passengers who could harm the driver.
What are you in for?
Dancing after midnight.
@Shogo, I have a question I can't find an answer for. What do you do with the food put out as an offering? Considering wasting food is bad.
I live in a post communist/socialist country. And we all live really close. Especially in huge cities with communist type of block, but it's rare to see underwear to be stolen. It's usually shirts, jeans and other stuff you wear besides undies and bras. Ig it's just a Japanese thing
Genetically, Hinata and Nagi are half Shogo clones so it's our duty to get Shogo arrested.
I was at Club Flower before the Owner was murdered and the police came and checked to see if anyone was dancing. They would turn on the lights and make it seem it was a lounge.
Japan does overwrap BUT the citizens clean the plastics before recycling, that recycling there is very efficient.
Getting your bike stolen is pretty common everywhere I have lived in the US. Especially NYC and Chicago.
Hi, Shogo!
I've been watching a lot of videos on Japan, and so far I've only heard one person mention a safety concern for foreigners!
He was saying that quite a few people have been hurt because they didn't realize there was a slight difference in height between the floor of their apartment genkan and the rest of the apartment floor. He said the difference between the flooring is usually only an inch to inch and a half - but it's enough to cause some potentially serious injuries if you're not careful! He says the Japanese don't really think about it because they're just so used to the height difference.
I was curious about your thoughts on this issue.
I have a bad habit of walking in my house in shoes and even put them on in my room 😅😂 but I saw that if visiting like a Japanese castle you take off shoes too Is that true?
If you’re going indoors there’s a very high chance you have to remove your shoes!
