1. Punctual
It seems that Japanese have respect with time, almost, no it not almost its 100% every time I ride a train it will leave exactly at the time given. The train will arrive at least 1 minute earlier than the schedule time and depart exactly on time. So, no excuses being late to office or school eh?
2. Respect
They are truly have respect to each other. I really admire this attitude. There's no scene such as cutting line or pushing each other to cut the queue. Every time I off the train I can see all are queuing to take the escalator. If you are in a hurry use the right side of the escalator, people usually will stand at the left side and you can take the right side and keep moving fast!
3. Helpful
I couldn't agree more with this. As a tourist and could not read or speak Japanese its is really hard for us to read the map or information in the pamphlet. For sure the best thing to do is to ask! Don't worry, although some are not familiar with English but they are willing to help you. On the second day touring Tokyo we have no idea how to reload Suica card ( prepaid card for train ) , so we asked a Japanase beside us and he pushed HELP button on the ticket machine and this is what happened.
This is what happened, the officer actually did this! Seriously!! He ask us what happened and immediately came to us and teach us to reload the card! This picture of course is not mine as the incident happened really fast, I actually goggle for this picture. =D
4. Polite & Humble
I do not know how to express this, you imagine "You in a lift from level 8, suddenly the lift stop at level 4. The person who pushed the button at level 4 immediately asked for an apology for you once the door open to pick her up. Once you guys reach the ground floor, she said thank you to you". Speechless, I did not do any favour to her. But hey, of course it's cheer up my day.
Oh one more thing, they actually stop if the they see you are trying to capture some pictures so they wont photo bomb you picture =)
5. Hygienic
The toilet are super clean! and advanced! Haha believed it or not they even have warmer on the seat. And with the wave of hand, the toilet will automatically flush. Oh did I mention they even have music option? In case you have a serious problem in the toilet you may push the music button and the sound of flush will keep accompany you in the toilet so that you wont feel shy to leave the toilet =D
Clean and advanced toilet |
There a few button option there ( see I told you there's music button there!) |
Flush with a wave of hand |
Oh their toilet are also mom friendly, you can put you child there without worries |
I think that's all I can recall right now. All the good things that make us misses Japan so much, the nearer our vacation ends, my other half keep on complaining how badly he will miss Japan after this and how he didn't want our vacation end but too bad the office are waiting, and need to go back to earn some more money.. Hhaha
