    Not really. But culturally, it is very different. Robberies are basically unknown. If someone loses a wallet, people look to return it. People on the subway are quiet and respectful. Litter is uncommon. I have been there a couple of times and sometimes wish I could live there. It is not a perfect place by any means. Just like anywhere. But it is SO different than China, S. Korea, or the US. Edit. Spelling

      This is the country with “women only” subway cars because there’s so much sexual assault on the subway? You were a tourist. That’s why they were polite to you.

      Lmao I literally got someone trying to put their hand up my clothes THREE different times on the subway and my neighbour got mugged at knifepoint in the year I lived there. But sure, Japan is a crime-free utopia.

      Not like Japanese cops are infamous for not prosecuting anything that isn’t a slam dunk or anything.
