10 Things You Didn't Know About Japan - Duration: 14:45.

Hey guys! It's Linh here

Today I'm going to tell you 10 things you didn't know about Japan

These are all of the things that I have noticed so far since I started living in Japan

It's quite interesting and I think not that many people talked about this topic before

so I decided to share these 10 things with you guys

Here is number 1

If I ask you what year it is right now, for sure most of you will say that it's 2018

Or if you're watching this video in the future, maybe you will say that it's 2019 or 2020 or something

But let's not make it too complicated

The answer is … 30.

Do you know why? If you don't know why, I will tell you why! (too many why?! lol)

Japan is one of the few countries that still have Emperor

The reign of each Emperor is marked with a specific era name

Therefore, the years in Japanese calendar are identified by combining two elements

The first element is the current era name

and the second element is the number of years the current Emperor has reigned

For example, the name of the current era is Heisei

and by 2018 Emperor Akihito has been on the throne for 30 years

so 2018 is referred to as Heisei 30

The 4 most recent era names are Meiji, Taisho, Showa and Heisei

each corresponding with the rule of one emperor

The era names can be abbreviated by taking the first Chinese character

or the first letter of their Romanized names

Since the majority of government and official papers use Japanese year system

I normally have to use a website like this for conversion

As you can see, Shōwa 55 is 1980 and Heisei 22 is 2010

To be honest this system is quite troublesome and time-consuming

So this you in front an Apple store, extremely excited because you're about to get a brand new Iphone

Now that you're holding the new phone on your hand

you cannot wait to try out all of the features including the camera

As soon as you press the button, the shutter sound goes off so everyone was staring at you

No matter how many times you try, you still cannot turn off the annoying sound

All I can say is "Welcome to Japan!"

If you buy a phone in Japan, especially Iphone, it's likely that you cannot turn off the shutter sound

I think you should keep this in mind before purchasing a phone in Japan

I heard that the sound is there to prevent some perverts from taking photos under woman's skirt

It's also because of privacy issue, you cannot just randomly take photos of someone you don't know

My solution is that I always have a silent camera app on my phone

and this allows me to take photo without making sound

However, the quality of these photos cannot be as good as taken by a normal camera

Here you are in a clothing store in Japan and you found the perfect dress that you really want to try on

So you pick it up and bring it to the fitting room

Before guiding you to the room, the staff will give you a white piece of fabric

which you have no idea what it is

So this is how it looks like

It's actually a face cover that you use to prevent clothes from getting stained by your makeup

Sometimes the staff doesn't give it to you directly

but you can find it in a small box on the floor of the fitting room

There's a detailed instruction here but not every shop has this

so it may be confusing and it's a bit tricky to use

This is the face cover and I remembered when I first came to Japan, I was really confused

I didn't really know what to do with this

At first, I thought that they wanted me to use the face cover

so that I won't ruin my makeup when I try the clothes on

However, I didn't do any makeup back then so I told them I didn't need it

Then they told me that they were asking me to use that to keep the clothes clean, not because of my face

and I felt so embarrassed

In Japan, delivery is efficient, cheap, fast and convenient

This is actually one of the things that I love the most about this country

and you have no idea how much I actually appreciate this

One of the most popular and trust-worthy logistic companies in Japan is Yamato Transport aka Kuroneko

Let's take a look at how much it costs

Sending a parcel from Okinawa to Hokkaido is only around 4000 yen for the biggest size

and it's only around 2500 yen for other areas

So I think you can get some ideas how cheap it is

It's also super convenient because if you want to send something

you can ask the staff to come directly to your house and pick the parcel up

or you can drop it off at a convenient store nearby

When you want to order something from the Internet or when you want to send something to someone else

you can always assign a specific arrival time that is most convenient for you

If you are not home when they deliver

they will leave a paper with their phone number and a code for your luggage

and you can use that code to ask for redelivery through internet or through the phone

Recently, you can also ask for redelivery through Line message

For some websites like Amazon, it's also possible to order something

and ask them to send it to a convenience store nearby and you will pick it up later from there

There are a lots of things that Japanese do very often but it's hard for you to know

these stuffs if you don't live in an environment surrounded by Japanese

For example, I notice that when Japanese are with a group, they always stand in a perfect circle

The more people in the group, the bigger circle it will be

I think if you pay attention, you will see this very often on the street

especially after a drinking party or some kinds of meetings

People will just form a circle and talk to each other for the last time

before saying goodbye and heading to different direction

I found this interesting because in my country, people will just stand in random spots

I don't know why Japanese do this

and I'm quite sure that they don't even realize that they do this kind of things

but I guess they do this to make sure that everyone can see what is going on and can participate in the conversation

Another thing is that Japanese bow a lot, especially in a business setting

When I was looking for a job before, I joined a business manner class

and we had to learn how to bow properly

I had to practice 3 different bows

You lean forward 15 degree, 30 degree or 45 degree

After I joined a Japanese company, I actually learnt the same thing again

So you can see that it's quite important in Japan

After you have a meeting with a Japanese, if you are the customer

normally they will take you to the elevator, press the button for you, wait for you to get inside

they will start to bow like this and will not return to their normal posture before the door is completely closed

If they take you directly at the front entrance, they will stand there and they will start to bow

They will not go back inside before they are sure that you have walked far away from where they are standing

Another thing that I want to introduce to you is the tejime

Te means hand and jime means to close or to end something

It is a hand clapping custom performed at the end of an event or a drinking party

There are many ways to do this, but I'm living in Kanto area, so I'm only used to something called "Ipponjime"

Basically at the end of a party or an event, a person will stand up and give the last speech

and after they willl ask everyone to put their hand up like this

and they will say yooooo then clap to mark the end of the party

I heard it is only called ipponjime in Kanto area but in other places in Japan, this is referred to as itchoujime

In those areas when they say ipponjime it can refer to clapping your hand in a 3-3-3-1 rhythm like this

They also have sanponjime which is when you do this for 3 times

I only got to know this after I started to work for a Japanese company

so I guess not that many people have heard of this before

Anyway, Japanese do a lot of stuffs like these and many more but I could just briefly explain some of them in this video

If you want to know more about Japanese customs and business manners

feel free to leave a comment down below to let me know!

You will see this a lot in Japan

Recently one of my friend who came all the way from US to Japan for traveling

and the first question she asked me was this one

Why do so many people here wearing a mask?

Is it polluted or something?

In fact, there are a lot of reasons to wear masks in Japan

but pollution is definitely not one of them

Many people actually wear masks because they suffer from pollen allergy or hay fever

or they also wear it a lot during the winter to keep their face warm

or to keep themselves from catching flu especially during the flu season

Also, when people are sick, they tend to cover their so that they will not spread it to others

Sometimes when people are tired or on the days they don't look super good

they also cover their face so that they don't have to show it to other people

I always take a nap on train or public transportation

so when I'm sleeping I don't want people to see my open mouth

That's why I often use a mask

Wearing mask is so common in Japan that in any supermarket and convenient store

you can easily find a big box like this and inside there are a lot of them

I don't think it's very good for the environment so maybe I should stop using this

In my country people always use a fabric mask and use it again and again

But in Japan it's more common to just buy it from the store and throw it away after using

If you go to Japan, you will see people using hand gestures very often

The most common one is this or this

They use it to tell you that something is not allowed or not good

The opposite of that is this and it means that it's okay, or means that it is allowed

If you are in a restaurant, you may see some people doing this to the staff

when they have already finished eating and want to pay

It basically means Check, please!

A lot of Japanese people also tend to point at themselves like this when they talk about themselves

Another common gesture is this and it means money

You can say something like, oh I want to travel to so many different places

but I have a problem this problem

and everyone should be able to understand what you're trying to say

Also they use this finger to talk about girlfriend and I heard this is used to talk about boyfriend

I actually have never really seen anyone used this before

But this one is very common

When you're in the middle of the crowd, you may notice some people do this while walking

and basically it means that they want to get through

These are just some of the most common gestures in Japan

Since I have friends who come from many different countries

I know that the same hand gesture can mean different things depending on where you come from

Does any of these have a different meaning in your country

I'd love to hear more about that

Yes throwing garbage in Japan is super complicated

First, it is confusing because you have to separate garbage into many different types

The rule of separation is different in every city

and some cities require you to use a specific type of garbage bag to throw them

For example, I used to live in a city called Beppu before,

and there we had 3 different types of garbage bags: Green, Pink and White

Green bag is for combustible or burnable trash

White is for incombustible or nonburnable trash

Pink is for pet bottle, cans, etc.

And the rest will be thrown separately

If you have any big stuffs that you want to get rid of

you have to call someone to come and pick it up and of course you have to pay money to get rid of those stuffs

However where I'm living now, we don't have any specific type of garbage bags

We can just throw it in any bag that we want

we also separate burnable trash and plastic trash

The second thing that makes throwing trash such a pain is that you have to follow a specific schedule

For example in this city you can only throw burnable garbage on Tuesday and Friday

and you can only throw nonburnable and pet bottles twice a month

Normally you can receive this schedule from the city hall or real estate agent when you move into an apartment

Forgetting to throw trash on the specific day means that you may have to wait for another

week or another month to have another chance to throw the trash

Again the schedule is different in every city so make sure that you follow the rules of the city you're living in

There is a form of Japanese wordplay called Goroawase

There are many ways to read a number in Japanese

They have Onyomi – the original Chinese reading of the Chinese characters

Kunyomi – the Japanese reading, and English reading

Therefore, it's common to put a series of number together

and associate each number with a specific way of pronunciation to make a sentence

They normally use this for telephone number to make it easier for people to memorize

For example, we have this poster (not leaflet T.T) of a musical play by Shiki Theatre company

and you can see the number to make a reservation right here

They take several different readings of each number and put the together to get this sentence

Yo-ya-ku shi-yo-yo which means Make a reservation!

Here is another example for you

The sentence they made is Yo-tsu-ya-ni-go-go

Yotsuya is the name of the school, ni means to, and go go literally means go

So you can see they want to say "Go to Yotsuya!"

which is perfect for advertising this school

I think this is really interesting and people can be really creative with this

In Japan, everyone has a personal seal which is known as Inkan or hanko in Japanese

This will replace your signature and you're going to need it to make bank accounts, rent

an apartment, or when you fill out some official documents and so on

Sometimes you can just sign but it's always better to have a personal seal

You can make it for a cheap price in a shop

For a Japanese with a common family name, they can get it easily from Daiso or any 100 yen shop

For foreigner you can make a seal in alphabet with your initial or your full name or you can make it in Katakana

I heard that if you want to start a business in Japan, you will have to make 3 types of seals

Representative seal, seal for banking transaction

and one square seal for everyday business transaction

"Dog View" from Akita-ken, home of Japan's adorable Akita dogs / 秋田犬がふるさとをストリートビュー - Duration: 1:29.

"Dog View" from Akita-ken, home of Japan's adorable Akita dogs

Odate city is located in Northern part of Akita prefecture

and known as a home of Akita dogs

A dog named "Hachiko" from a well-known true story of a faithful dog was Odate-born Akita dog.

Map information is very important when we introduce tourist attractions.

Google Street View is extremely valuable because people can enjoy views in addition to map information

It might be interesting to create 360 degree video from Akita dog's point of view.

That's what we thought up, and the project was kicked off.

Beautiful views with fuzzy coat of Akita dog is special and unique idea that only Odate city can provide.

We'd like to keep filming seasonal landscapes

and introducing secret places where only local people know

Footage unveiled of Japan's massacre of Korean sex slaves in 1944 - Duration: 0:45.

Footage showing Japanese troops killing women they forced into sexual slavery during World

War Two... was made public for the first time at an international conference on wartime

sex slavery held in Seoul.

The clip was discovered and retrieved last year by a group of Korean scholars and researchers

in the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration.

For 19 seconds it shows part of a massacre on September 13th, 1944... in which 30 Korean

girls were executed by Japanese troops in Tengchong, China.

According to the researchers, more than 70 Koreans were brought to the western Chinese

city to serve Japanese soldiers in front-line brothels.

Only 23 were alive when American and Chinese troops retook Tengchong.

Video shows Japan's massacre of Korean sex slaves during WWII - Duration: 2:22.

A horrifying video was made public for the first time on Tuesday.

It shows the scene of a 1944 massacre of Korean women by Japanese troops during World War

II.

Just a warning that you may find the following report distressing.

Lee Seung-jae has the details.

The team of South Korean scholars and researchers that discovered the video in the U.S. National

Archives and Records Administration made it public on Tuesday at an international conference

in Seoul on wartime sexual slavery.

The 19-second black-and-white clip, filmed by Allied forces of the United States and

China,... adds to existing documentary evidence that the Japanese military shot and killed

30 Korean women in the western Chinese city of Tengchong on September 13,1944.

The video shows a group of bodies abandoned together, and a Chinese soldier, who is believed

to have been at the scene to bury the bodies,... taking a sock off one of the victims.

This is the first known video evidence of the act,... since the same research team disclosed

the Allied forces' operation diary in 2016,... which revealed terms used throughout the record,...

indicating the 30 Korean women were sex slaves for the Japanese.

With the video,... experts believe there's now overwhelming evidence to prove without

question the level of Japan's wartime atrocities against the forced sex slaves.

"Confessions, documents, photos, videos,.... what more do you need?

Our job is to further piece together evidence of a time in history that's being left behind."

Despite the mounting evidence,...

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe continues to demand that South Korea move on.

He told President Moon Jae-in earlier this month,... that in diplomacy, leaders must

make decisions while resigning themselves to reproach,... adding that otherwise countries

cannot establish future-oriented relationships.

Still seeking a proper apology from the Japanese government,... the issue is increasingly urgent

for Korea,... as another former victim died earlier this month,... leaving the number

of registered Korean survivors at 30.
