I love Japan and its culture. I first came there when I was 12 years old. I am an American. I went to school on an Air force base camp in Tokyo at the time of 1960. for six months. My parents were in show business and so was I in the act. I traveled and performed from the south of Japan all the way to the North in many towns and cities. You could say I saw more of Japan than most Japanese. I have seen many countries around the world. I have to say that Japan was one of my number one countries in the world. Why? They have great traditions that they keep still to this day and even back in the 1960s they already were ahead of the world in technology. I came back to Japan in 1966 and then I had a really good time with the Japanese girls. I think the men there just kept to themselves mostly since most of them did not speak English in those days. They are very respectful. I had to learn some Japanese anyway to get around at least enough to give directions to these taxi drivers who play stupid with you to make longer trips and charge you more. But that's in every country. I loved the streets and houses with their paper sliding doors. There are just too many things great about Japan .You really need to go and see it for yourself.

I love the way the Japanese keep there cities so clean. No graffiti on people's property and no litter on the street. New sub.

COMFORT WOMEN this is why japan is evil: korean comfort women vs japanese government: From Chong Ok-sun, born 1920: One day in June, at the age of 13, I had to prepare lunch for my parents who were working in the field and so I went to the village well to fetch water. A Japanese garrison soldier surprised me there and took me away, so that my parents never knew what had happened to their daughter. I was taken to the police station in a truck, where I was raped by several policemen. When I shouted, they put socks in my mouth and continued to rape me. The head of the police station hit me in my left eye because I was crying. That day I lost my eyesight in the left eye. After 10 days or so, I was taken to the Japanese army garrison barracks in Heysan City. There were around 400 other Korean young girls with me and we had to serve over 5,000 Japanese soldiers as sex slaves every day - up to 40 men per day. Each time I protested, they hit me or stuffed rags in my mouth. One held a matchstick to my private parts until I obeyed him. My private parts were oozing with blood. One Korean girl who was with us once demanded why we had to serve so many, up to 40, men per day. To punish her for her questioning, the Japanese company commander Yamamoto ordered her to be beaten with a sword. While we were watching, they took off her clothes, tied her legs and hands and rolled her over a board with nails until the nails were covered with blood and pieces of her flesh. In the end, they cut off her head. Another Japanese, Yamamoto, told us that "it’s easy to kill you all, easier than killing dogs." He also said "since those Korean girls are crying because they have not eaten, boil the human flesh and make them eat it." One Korean girl caught a venereal disease from being raped so often and, as a result, over 50 Japanese soldiers were infected. In order to stop the disease from spreading and to ’sterilize’ the Korean girl, they stuck a hot iron bar in her private parts. Once they took 40 of us on a truck far away to a pool filled with water and snakes. The soldiers beat several of the girls, shoved them into the water, heaped earth into the pool and buried them alive. I think over half of the girls who were at the garrison barracks were killed. Twice I tried to run away, but both times we were caught after a few days. We were tortured even more and I was hit on my head so many times that all the scars still remain. They also tattooed me on the inside of my lips, my chest, my stomach and my body. I fainted. When I woke up, I was on a mountainside, presumably left for dead. Of the two girls with me, only Kuk Hae and I survived. A 50-year-old man who lived in the mountains found us, gave us clothes and something to eat. He also helped us to travel back to Korea, where I returned, scarred, barren and with difficulties in speaking, at the age of 18, after five years of serving as a sex slave for the Japanese. From Hwang So-gun, born 1918: When I was 17 years old, in 1936, the head of our village came to our house and promised me to help me find a job in a factory. Because my family was so poor, I gladly accepted this offer of a well-paid job. I was taken to the railway station in a Japanese truck where 20 or so other Korean girls were already waiting. We were put on the train, then onto a truck and after a few days’ travel we reached a big house at the River Mudinjian in China. I thought it was the factory, but I realized that there was no factory. Each girl was assigned one small room with a straw bag to sleep on, with a number on each door. After two days of waiting, without knowing what was happening to me, a Japanese soldier in army uniform, wearing a sword, came to my room. He asked me "will you obey my words or not?," then pulled my hair, put me on the floor and asked me to open my legs. He raped me. When he left, I saw there were 20 or 30 more men waiting outside. They all raped me that day. From then on, every night I was assaulted by 15 to 20 men. We had to undergo medical examinations regularly. Those who were found disease-stricken were killed and buried in unknown places. One day, a new girl was put in the compartment next to me. She tried to resist the men and bit one of them in his arm. She was then taken to the courtyard and in front of all of us, her head was cut off with a sword and her body was cut into small pieces. From Kum Ju-hwang, born 1921: I thought I was drafted as a labour worker when, at the age of 17, the Japanese village leader’s wife ordered all unmarried Korean girls to go to work at a Japanese military factory. I worked there for three years, until the day that I was asked to follow a Japanese soldier into his tent. He told me to take my clothes off. I resisted because I was so scared, I was still a virgin. But he just ripped my skirt and cut my underwear from my body with a gun which had a knife attached to it. At that point I fainted. And when I woke up again, I was covered with a blanket but there was blood everywhere. From then on, I realized that during the first year I, like all the other Korean girls with me, was ordered to service high-ranking officials, and as time passed, and as we were more and more ’used’, we served lower-ranking officers. If a woman got a disease, she usually vanished. We were also given ’606-shots’ so that we would not get pregnant or that any pregnancies would result in miscarriage. We only received clothes two times per year and not enough food, only rice cakes and water. I was never paid for my ’services’. I worked for five years as a ’comfort woman’, but all my life I suffered from it. My intestines are mostly removed because they were infected so many times, I have not been able to have intercourse because of the painful and shameful experiences. I cannot drink milk or fruit juices without feeling sick because it reminds me too much of those dirty things they made me do. These stories are not outlies; tens or perhaps hundreds of thousands of women and girls were enslaved by the Japanese military from 1932 to 1945. While many were Korean, the Imperial Japanese Army took "comfort women" from virtually every country it invaded in Asia. While these stories may feel like distant memories, they are recent enough that some of the women who endured it - many of them only children at the time - are still alive to talk about it. During the 1990s, when the legacy of "comfort women" first surfaced as a major political issue, the survivors were far more numerous, and would for a time hold weekly protests outside of the Japanese embassy in Seoul. That's how recent this was. The survivors' plights did not end in 1945 with Japan's defeat. Many kept their experiences secret out of shame, or were pressured into silence by their communities and families back home, who often blamed the young women for what had been done to them. This is part of why it has taken so long for these stories to be told, and why it is important, now, seven decades later, for the world, including but not only the Japanese government, to acknowledge what happened. That is a form of justice as well.

You are only talking about what happened during wartime. What about Korea do to their own woman now, during peace time, is worse. I see videos of K-pop idols forced to wear tight shorts, sexy outfits which obviously they are not comfortable with. Why don't you speak up against your own instead of wasting time talking about a situation that don't exist anymore. If you want to quote stories like that from the past, look to the North Korea-China border. Chinese at the border are doing this now to woman who wants to escape from North Korea. Why don't you do something about that.

Incredible video definitely the creators of his video know how to explain and present whatever topic they are discussing very well comprised very well put together my utmost compliments thank you

We watched this video in our history class and when you went to an adult anime shop with big tidies at 8:57 was the best part

I’m Japanese but I have to say that “we have only 10 vacations” is misleading. The fact is that we have two holidays in a week(Sat and Sun) and 16 national holidays and “Golden week”(7 day offs consecutively )and “Silver week”(About 7days separately)... and in addition to them you have a right to apply for about more than 10 paid vacations (it depends on your working situation) in a year if you work in a company, although not many exercise this right fully because of a peer pressure. I know that this is still little compared with European countries where they can have a month paid vacation and that we should focus on increasing working productivity instead of working hours and hours, but a fact should be explained correctly.This video isn’t even spelling the cities’ names right. This kind of videos are informative but they’re usually mix of information someone picked from the Internet and aren’t always precise.

Another fun fact is that the Japanese tell scary/horror stories during the summertime, the opposite of here in America, because of the hot, humid weather during the summer months. Ghost stories send shivers down people's spines, thereby keeping them cool during summer...and let me tell you that Japanese ghost stories are quite imaginative and truly frightening!

I think it's great they want to preserve their culture....

Very informative... great video

Very well narrated! And accurate of course.

Japan is the blueprint for successful coexistence . Tradition coexists with cutting edge technology .Old exists with new . Communication is not used as a weapon ; rather, feelings and desires are implicit . The Japanese manage by polite cooperation and understanding . Hardwork is instilled from childhood , whether that is always necessary in life is debatable . To people from other countries and cultures Japan can appear admirable and at the same time very daunting.

Plus their Mafia has no problem prostituting women from poor countries. They use intimidation, hold passports, hold money back from their jobs, and abuse women. It's accepted because the Japanese men pay big money to the nightlife. Its not all worn out office workers in Japan. Many are hung over from drinking and wasting many nights with Karaoke hostesses. Then they spend their money on women trapped in a prostitution situation forced on them.

What a treat to visit this country, wish l could put a bubble over Japan to keep it preserved from disappearing.
