My dad told me about how when he went to Japan he left a lot of money on the table in his hotel room on accident and the maids had cleaned the room while he was gone but when he got back the money was still there…in America that money would’ve been long gone 😂
I was visiting London with my friend she and £60 in cash ($80 USD) and the cleaners stole it we went to the front desk to complain and they just said “well it’s your fault for leaving it there” Edit - typos
@@Chirpingcherub sorry about your friends money then but the cleaners probably thought you were long gone thats why they took it, and the front desk probably doesnt know anything about it so they couldnt help you
I lived in Japan for 30years and whenever I lost my wallets or ID, it came back to me. For one case, I got a phone call from police before I noticed that I lost it. During the 30 years, what I lost outside and never got back are; Umbrellas(2-3times), train ticket(luckilt, after getting on the train), electronic dictionary(it was the most expensive stuff I lost), Mickey’s ear-headband(at Tokyo Disney land)
I'm Japanese aswell although I grew up there as in a was born there but only stayed there for about the amount of time to learn basic Japanese but I'm way better in english still I am not that good at memorising but if I'm said the thing out loud I'll be able to know it faster but seeing isn't as helpful so yeh I mean I've learnt more from now but I forget usually lol
Actually, even in Japan, if they are at a place which is in front of people like trains, the number of the people who steal a someone's purse may small.But, when it is a deserted place, There are some wrong people. (I'm Japanese, so it is difficult to write good English. Please point out my passage,)

I live in Japan. I forgot the bag with valuables on the same train as this video, All came back safely at a later date. Oh, but it's not good to be too relieved. It's been stolen at school ... ,,,,,
your so judge mental about the man in red jacket ! if lm that man l will definitely file a complain agains you putting me in your vlog and saying those thing.
Wow.. that’s so amazing.. I always respect and love Japan and Japanese people but after watching this it doubled.. since I am living in Korea and from my experience also feel korean people are having same kind of honesty..
Nah, there is a lot of theft in Japan, it's just less brazen. I forgot my bag on the train just this week and someone took it to the bathroom, went through it and took all the money (50,000 yen) out of my wallet and dumped the bag there. The police wouldn't even investigate it - getting them to do anything is like drawing blood from a stone. Bikes are stolen all the time and it's impossible to own a nice or convenient umbrella in japan since it will be stolen immediately. My jacket has been stolen here, even my shoes. My friends have also had things stolen from them. It's the same as my home country. People will leave their bags unattended on a table in Starbucks etc., but in my experience you should keep your eyes on your possessions at all times, especially at night in a place like Shinjuku or Shibuya. The police will do nothing so you're on your own. If I carry a travel umbrella I will literally tie it to my body now, tie my jacket around my waist, and do as much as I can to protect my things.
yes we are really honest but remember you can judge someone honesty based off a race, at the end of the day everybody will have a different human interaction. your honesty isn’t based on your race so it really doesn’t matter if you are Japanese or American. everything is based on your decisions not your race.
totally untrue. I've been in Japan for 7 years and that is absolutely not the case. most because, their honesty here is so contagious anyone who lives here will do the same. besides the fact that only people with clean background are the only one able to get in the country, without being watched by the police.
@@whyjapanesepeople4057 i have seen the video 50 dropped wallets in japan, so you guy please try 100 dropped wallets, thats very asesome social experience in japanese honest 💙💚💛💜❤💗💖
If it wasn't for all the high-tech surveillance cameras everywhere and the strict penalties on Theft, believe me that wallet would have definitely been stolen, it's also very likely the people knew they were being recorded
an expat currently living in japan. actually, i don’t see a lot of surveillance cameras around here. i dunno if that’s a thing all over japan, or just in this area where am staying. but i have been to other areas of japan as well and there are no cameras. even in big supermarkets, shops, schools classrooms, etc. i would not say that japanese people are honest, but most of them just don’t steal. one time, i forgot to get my change from a vending machine and even after some time, these high school students figured out it was mine and gave it back to me. lol
@@lehua16 you're right I don't understand Japanese culture, but if the Japanese culture is really that honest and that honorable, then that definitely make them the greatest culture in the world
