    I could not imagine a facility like this existing in a major US city like LA or NYC - people would vandalize and destroy it. Tokyo is probably one of the most densely populated cities I've visited and yet it's so orderly, clean and civilized.

      @@Nincompoop1_ Suicide rates in Japan are not that high. According to a recent report by the World Health Organization, Japan is the 49th country in the world with the highest suicide rate relative to its population. Meanwhile, other well-known countries such as Sweden in 47th place, Finland in 38th place, Belgium in 35th place, the USA in 31st place, Ukraine in 19th place, South Korea in 12th place, Russia in 11th place. But even though suicide rates are much higher in the US or South Korea, for example, nobody says, "Oh, America? Suicide rates are so high there." or "South Korea? That's the country where everyone commits suicide?".. Japan has a strangely bad reputation, but actually their suicide rate is not that high.

      @@genesisreyes5815 As someone who used to work for a Japanese company and has spent a not-insignificant amount of time in Japan, I highly advise you to do your due diligence and extensively research the realities of moving to and living in Japan. In my personal opinion, Japan is fantastic to visit, but can be very difficult to live in long-term as a foreigner. Some people make it work, for sure, but even many of those people find it necessary to "go home" a couple times a year to get a break from Japanese society. Similarly, those that go over to Japan to teach English as part of the JET program or similar frequently become disillusioned with Japan and move to another country after their term.
      The unfortunate reality is that you will always be an "outsider" and will struggle to form meaningful relationships with anyone other than your fellow ex-pats. Without fluency in Japanese (including "keigo" or "formal language"), familiarity with Japanese business etiquette, and a marketable skillset, your employment opportunities will be extremely limited, and you are statistically most likely to end up as an English teacher making barely enough money to make ends meet.

    for someone who has been living in Tokyo for more than 7 years, I can say you are better off look for net cafe nearby, some of them have private room with sound proofing. You can also choose between reclining chair/mattress. Free drink bar as well, free to use shower (bring your own towel though). Cheaper than these station pod (which are aimed towards people that are late for meeting due to train problem etc). I never really see anyone use it before.

      It's crazy to see the complete 180 western civilization had on Japanese civilization. Before it was "Tried and true, tradition and honor." Where everyone regardless of class was allowed to wear a sword and armour. And after it was "Endless advancement and wealth" where outside of a handful of enthusiasts, only the ruling class has permission to own swords that can throw other swords at 1000ft per second at 350 rounds per sec.

    Also, ekiben, or train lunch boxes, is a genius idea for cities that run 24/7. Want a bento, but no time to prep or you're a tourist that's always on the go? grab a box from the store AT THE PLATFORM, or while inside the train (at least in the bullet train, from what I experienced).

      I was there too in 2019 just before the pandemic hit. It was amazing. The food at the train station, those mini marts thst sell quality good food, the vending machines on almost every block with healthy drinks to buy. The subway station with up and down arrows so traffic can flow fast and efficient. Even how you they share umbrellas when it rains. You just grab one and then drop it off at another place for someone else to use. The community conveniences impressed me so much. The people not only gave us directions but walked us to our air bnb. I want to retire there. I loved Japan.

    Apart from the touristy spots that I've only ever seen in books or online, it's everyday things like this that I look forward to for my first trip to Japan next year! Love your channel!

    What a cool video! All the sights and sounds, the smells, the hustle and rustle, elegantly captured! Well done. Next time maybe you could feature an overnight pod? I would really enjoy that! Tokyo has been on my bucket list for a long time now. Such a beautiful city!

    This is a very sane feature to have at bus stations or airports! Lets you escape the confusion of people for a little while, which can be very restorative.

    I could see these pods working anywhere there's a lot of people. Even in train stations and airports in a small country like Norway, there would be a lot of value in being able to book a private meeting room or being able to sit in peace for a video meeting with colleagues. Or even just to rest your head for half an hour while enjoying some quiet in an otherwise busy day.

    I love this channel! Your videos are so relaxing and interesting. Japan is such a wondrous and fascinating place. I regret that I have never visited. Now that I’m 54, it’s unlikely I ever will. At least I can enjoy it through your eyes.
