My Top Ten Japan Experiences 

Thank you! 🙏 I’m happy I can show you a slice of life in Japan 🇯🇵 Thank you for watching always ☺️

Thank you! :) Good question! Japan has interesting mask culture. The air quality in Japan is very good, so people here wear masks mostly in an attempt to stop spread of contagion. Before the Covid outbreak, it was common for Japanese people to come into work and school if they were sick or had a cold, and wear a mask. Mask culture in Japan boomed during Covid, where everyone in public was required to wear one. Since Covid has become less of a threat, mask culture in Japan has lessened significantly, but you still see students, teachers, and community members sometimes wearing masks. So in short, it's not because of air pollution, but it's to try and stop the spread of contagious disease. Since Japan is such a collectivist society, the country didn't experience anti-mask anti-vaccine movement during covid, unlike America and Canada. It was interesting to be abroad during that time period and observe how the different societies and governments behaved.
