Six strange things Japan is famous for. Japan is a wonderful and magnificent country in our world. Japan is renowned for its innovative technologies. Located in East Asia, Japan is made up of more than six thousand islands, both large and small. However, only 430 of these islands are inhabited. In other words, you could say that all of Japan exists on these 430 islands.
Once the victim of two nuclear attacks, Japan is today one of the most developed countries in the world. The Japanese call their country Nihon or Nippon. And do you know why? Because the Japanese believe that the sun rises first in the morning in their country. And Nihon or Nippon means the country of the morning sun. 99 percent of Japan's population is educated. And the people of Japan are the longest-living people in the world.
There is so much to tell you about Japan, friends. But we'll tell you about Japan's interesting stories some other time. Today, we'll introduce you to six things found only in Japan. So, without further ado, let's get started.
Japan's Cuddle Cafe : -
Such cafes are currently unimaginable in our country. However, there's a huge market for cuddle cafes in Japan. Since Japan is technologically advanced, people here naturally spend hours working at computers.
This leads to not only physical but also mental fatigue. To alleviate this mental fatigue, a market for cuddle cafes has emerged in Japan. Cuddle cafes are places where people can not only relax but also invite friends or loved ones to cuddle with them. In Japan, this is called cuddle therapy.
This may sound strange, but cuddle therapy can alleviate mental fatigue in just a few minutes. Now imagine how useful cuddle therapy would be for those who work on computers day and night. Just think about it. And let us know your opinion about cuddle therapy in the comments.
Ice Cream with Strange Flavors : -
You'll be surprised to learn that Japan offers some ice cream flavors that are truly unusual, even in our understanding. For example, octopus-flavored ice cream. Although there are plenty of people in our country who love to eat octopus, there's hardly anyone here who would like to eat octopus-flavored ice cream. Furthermore, in Japan, there are also eel-flavored ice cream, soy sauce-flavored ice cream, garlic-flavored ice cream, and shark fin-flavored ice cream.
The Japanese, who are insatiable ice cream lovers, have even created a melt-proof ice cream. This means you can eat it whenever you want, without worrying about it melting.
A Country with Vending Machines/ : -
Japan is a country with the largest number of vending machines in the world. Everything from food and drinks to beauty products and undergarments is available through vending machines. Now, you're likely wondering why there's a need to install so many vending machines. Whereas Japan's population is much smaller than India's.
That's because property prices in Japan are so high that renting a showroom alone costs a fortune. And to save money, Japanese companies install vending machines instead of opening large retail stores. Anyone can buy whatever they want from these vending machines. Isn't that strange?
Sleeping at work is permitted in Japan.
Imagine this. You're at work and you're feeling sleepy. You can't bear the sleepiness and you doze off. And right then, your boss sees you. Do you know what will happen? Your boss will scold you. But in Japan, the situation is exactly the opposite.
In Japan, if you take a thirty-minute nap during working hours, no one will say anything to you. In fact, you'll be praised. And that's because in Japan, sleeping while working isn't considered a bad thing, but a good thing. The Japanese say that sleepiness at work comes from being extremely tired.
And since only those who work hard feel tired, there's nothing wrong with taking a thirty-minute nap. In Japan, employees are allowed a thirty-minute nap between 1 pm and 4 pm. This nap is called inemuri.
Girls with crooked teeth are considered beautiful : -
In our country, if a child's teeth become crooked, parents rush to the dentist to have them straightened. Because people with crooked teeth are considered less attractive. However, in Japan, the story is the exact opposite. In Japan, women with crooked teeth are considered beautiful.
A woman with crooked and uneven teeth is considered to have a beautiful smile. And because of this preference among Japanese men, Japanese women with straight teeth often go to the dentist to have their teeth straightened. And this process involves considerable expense.
But since women will go to any lengths to look beautiful, Japanese women also do not hesitate to make these expenses. Dentists often apply a layer of crooked teeth over the straight teeth of such women. In Japan, this trick is called Yaeba.
Children Clean the School : -
You may have often seen on news channels that a teacher in a government school made children clean, leading to controversy. In our country, teachers who make children clean can often lose their jobs. But in Japan, children are entrusted with the responsibility of cleaning their classrooms and schools.
And this tradition is called O-Soji in Japan. In Japan, it is believed that children should be inculcated with the habit of cleanliness from a young age. And there is no better place to inculcate this habit than school. At school, children are required to clean not only the classrooms but also the restrooms.
Sometimes, children also clean the surrounding areas. The Japanese believe this practice is crucial for instilling teamwork and cleanliness in children from an early age.
