When you look at the trash system you can come to understand a lot about the Japanese. You can see their attention to detail, their willingness to work a little bit harder, their team spirit and their care for the environment.

It is true that we tend to accumulate stuff in our houses. And knowing how tiny houses are in Japan, this can become a problem. That is when disposing of unneeded items takes place.

If you’re moving to Japan for work or study, deciding where to stay is no simple decision. Here’s why you should seriously consider a share house. There are now over 2,800 share houses in Japan. They’re easy to get into, interesting to live in, and much easier on your wallet than renting your own place.

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the word “vending machine” was first used circa 1895. It is defined as “a coin-operated machine for selling merchandise.” Although there are references to the coin-operated machines all the way back in the first century AD, the first modern vending machines were invented in 1880s, dispensing postcards and envelopes.

If you are staying in Japan long term and are on a budget, a good alternative to renting an apartment (notorious for being expensive with many payments before you even move in and are often unfurnished) is to stay in a share house.

One common lament that I frequently hear highlighted amongst many foreign residents in Japan, whether they are English teachers, financial sector workers, or even homemakers, is the often opaque, convoluted and, at times, downright confusing way in which Japan’s various pension and insurance systems are administrated.

In Japan, the mostly commonly used public transportation is the train. I can say that you can go everywhere in Japan by train. It is the most convenient public transportation in Japan. Unfortunately, there's a bad side : rush hours in Japan are so horrible.

Westerners, for the most part, probably don’t give much thought to tattoos. An awful lot of us have them (myself included), and they certainly don’t carry the stigma they used to, aside from in small pockets of our society. However, in Japan, this is a slightly different story.

Just as how you use the words, “sushi”, “anime” or “manga” in your home country, the Japanese have also adopted a lot of English words which are commonly heard in daily conversations in Japan. This time though, with a twist!

Japanese food, simple keywords entered on Google, what will you see? Sushi, sashimi, raw fish everywhere... Takoyaki, udon, ramen... This is not the kind of Japanese food I'm talking about, have you ever wondered besides sushi, yakiniku, udon or ramen, what else do Japanese have on their table everyday with their families?
