I've spent a lot of time in Japan so I can agree with many others who have said these things are either hard to find or not normal there. I think maybe the things in the video do exist in Japan, but only in very specific locations. For example, I've never seen anyone sitting alone in a cafe with a giant plush...but maybe there is 1 cafe in Tokyo or something that does this.
I'm Japanese I have never seen a miffy traffic light Am I just not paying attention or is bright side teaching false facts Edit: Thank you for the likes, I hope you realize that this channel has some wrong information in its videos
Lots of Japanese are saying that here. How disappointing! Is it true about the big plush toy put with you if you're eating alone? That's so sweet - I wish it were true...
@@rs5570 that's in one specific cafe. That's the cafe's gimmick. It's not all over Japan. It's like saying that all the mountains in the USA are shaped like presidents.

I’m Japanese but I’ve never seen a Pringles ramen or ever heard of one. Maybe they made one for a limited time just for fun. Just had an ordinary pringles chips today...
@@jon8833 How about the fact that 1.the KFC shown is from China NOT Japan? Also, 2. there no Miffy cross walk signs. Maybe there is one somewhere in japan, but 99.999% are normal. He didn’t even mention the Hello Kitty construction signs that ARE actually all over Tokyo. 3. Square watermelons are NOT meant for eating at ALL, only for advertising or display. 4. There is nothing special about the sushi rice in Japan, it's just how good sushi is properly made. He must be eating at terrible sushi shops outside of Japan? 5. The name of the stationary store with the share space is Itoyo. Why didn't he include this? He sure make a big deal about Pringles! On the subject of Pringles, 6. Pringles are commonly sold as chips in Japan. The ramen Pringles were a one off limited edition item, sold along with Pringles yakisoba. 7. Hand warmers ARE sold in japan, but you know what you are more likely to use? A hot drink sold at a vending machine. Chances are you will be buying a hot beverage already and it’s often used to warm ones pockets before drinking. 8. NEVER seen anyone ever use a chin strap to sleep. In fact I think most Japanese commuters would find the use of one disturbing and an inconvenience to others.
Among the countries I visited, Japan is my most favorite because of its fusion of culture, modern life, great people who are so mindful with others, cleanliness, and their food!
I live Japan for 20 years,I never saw miffy traffic light, Also if your dining alone sitting in front of you a stuffed toy? I never saw that too. If your dining alone you can sit on the counter so that you don't feel alone and save space for others who dine in groups or two. I never saw Pringle's ramen too. They have Bb ramen, You can eat it as snacks or you can eat it like instant ramen. put hot water in 3 mins then you can eat it.
I just travelled last week, i stayed there for 1 week w my friend for tour and i say Japan is the most unique place ive been so far. It's true that japanese are very generous, hospitable and disciplined people. When we ride their taxi for the first time we were like treated as princesses, their taxis arr high class with automatic door 😍 Yes i love the different flavors of kitkats, shibuya crossing is incredible and vending machines are everywhere. Though we became broke after 😂 Very expensive there, well we live in Philippines so we were shocked with their prices but we enjoyed our tour.i want to go back 🙂
Japan is expensive, but staying in Tokyo can be particularly expensive. Next time, if you plan on visiting other areas, you may be able to spend more time with a smaller budget.
Blake Ross I could not watch any longer. Daughter of sushi chef there. There’s never sauce in sushi! Vinegar and sugar make sushi rice. Don’t talk of sushi. U r not eating real sushi and got 0 knowledge that a sushi sauce exist on sushi?! What kind of sauce that is...
Im so confused... doesnt everyone know that!?!?! Not only has this guy never been to japan or didn't do the research for this video, but he's also *never been to a real sushi place apparently*

"A stationery store which rises 12 floors" - kind of reminds me of the time I drew a picture set in a 21-floor mall where I give Wakamé's boyfriend (also my kindred spirit) Horikawa-kun some balloons and kiss him on his cheek before letting him fly softly with the balloons lifting the little cutie higher and higher above the ground and then into the light blue sky where Wakamé is also floating through the air with balloons.
I’ve grown up in Japan. I have never seen a miffy stop light. When stop lights were first mentioned I thought he was going to talk about “blue lights” instead of green lights. And moomin if you’re eating in a cafe my yourself? Maybe if your in a moomin cafe. And chin rests for standing on trains? I’m if the have them I’ve never seen them
I’m also japanese and lived in Japan since birth but never seen half of these things. Though possibly some of them could be in certain if only one area in Japan (only Tokyo?). Here are the things I never seen: Miffi traffic light Pringles noodles (still sold as chips) That weird coffee machine Café with moomin Guy not being allowed in those special photo booths Subway chin rest Special trains with foot baths Taxi cars with tatami flooring And a few others.
Not only Japan but every country, every city, every person is unique. In every place, there is something that is only found in that place. If you talk about Japan, every city in Japan has some different traditional foods, festivals etc. For example, we have sasadango, poppoyaki etc in Niigata prefecture. These are some traditional sweets in Niigata. If we go to some other prefectures in Japan, you will not find these sweets but you will find some other unique sweets. So the things you mentioned in this video is not true for every place in Japan.
I've been to Osaka, Kyoto, Hamamatsu and Tokyo. Many instructions on signs are translated into English, Chinese and Korean to serve foreign tourists, but some of them are mistranslated in a HILARIOUS way that CRACKED ME UP ROFL!!! Maybe the translations were generated by Google translate or something.
I’m Japanese. I’m watching this video while studying English. It was really interesting video than I expected. It included so Many kind of Japanese culture what we don’t even know. I was enjoyed this video.
Bright Side basically takes something that happens in one or two locations and makes it sound like it's an everyday thing. If they did one for Australia, they'd probably say we eat Kangaroo meat on a daily basis. Yes, kangaroo meat is sold in our local grocers, but most people have probably only eaten it once or twice to 'try it out'.
Some facts I didn’t even know of myself when I went to Japan, some stuff I can’t even remember. One thing I definitely remember as the KitKats of Different Flavours and Colours, something always worth having and taking home with you.
Japan has 6852 island. Thats not there in anywhere else in the world And even strangely Japan has 1500 average earthquakes in a year Now thats earth shattering!!
the earth is not shattering its only because japan and/or its islands are located in 3 tectonic plates and all three moving and when tectonic plates move it creates earthquakes (from releasing large amount of energy) sorry I just like sharing science :)

Winged galaxy wolfy I’ve seen sticky rice here, in Canada 🇨🇦. Idk 😐 how it’s made but it stays together. I liked this pleasant video and I enjoyed the polite comments too. Thank you. 🙋🏻♀️
Welp I wanna taste it someday ofc except some weird stuff like snakes,frogs,octopus ...They do put a lot of effort in making food delicious n colourful
Those Kairo hot pockets have been everywhere, even in the West, since the 1990s! They may not be called Kairo, but I doubt you'd meet a single skier or camper anywhere in the colder areas of the world that has not seen or used them. Also, every sushi joint in Canada and the US that I've ever been to uses that rice vinegar/sugar/salt mix for sushi rice. And anyone who makes sushi at home knows to make that mix too.
Here in the Philippines, a place called BGC (Bonifacio Global City), the stop lights there always changes when it's almost Christmas, the shape of the stop light is a Christmas Tree.
At 4:23 ....The sushi that you illustrated (Raw fish on a block of rice) is called Nigiri sushi...but you don't eat it with chopsticks...in Japan, it is properly eaten with your fingers...
My husband and I hosted a Japanese girl from Tokyo. She LOVED onions like no other!!!!! One day she was making a dish and she put 2 very large onions in it without any thought!!! I couldn’t eat it because to me it just tasted like onion and nothing else!!! Ha.
I live in Japan but I’ve never seen or experienced any of these things you listed. Pringle’s come in a cylinder just like everywhere else. I’m thinking that most of the thinks on this list are only in Akihabara, which is a pretty strange place.
The miffy thing can be also be seen in the Netherlands. Also, the Pringle’s noodle cup isn’t a thing, and there is no special sauce on sushi that sticks the pieces.
actually it's not all false, normal rice is used and it's mixed with vinegar. In japan rice is normally sticky due to how its prepared and cooked (easier to eat with chopsticks). sushi is made with fish and su-meshi, which is litteraly vinegar rice.
I love japan. My two teenager daughters even have a big dream to come to Japan. They love drawing japan anime.. and join Japan community. I wish their dream will come true🥰🥰
As a Japanese I’m laughing watching this lol. Pringles ramen? Seriously? The new year KFC specials are just usual yearly specials, like Valentines specials, Halloween, etc. Subway chin rest? Never seen one lol. A doll when you’re sitting alone? Where lol. Never seen that. Probably in some otaku areas like Akihabara lol. Come on, some stuff here are weird...
I love vending machines! Especially the ones that serve drinks! Those machines saved me from thirst so many times I was there for 12 days exploring the country! It's too bad the US can't have these because of vandals...
Meh. Everyone trying to make Japan seem like some magical fairytale location. Try living here and soon you'll realize it's just like any other country 🙄
syrupyourmaple maybe you hadn’t visit japan...they are totally living in different world that we know of...some sound crazy and weird in our world are exaclty normal in Japan...
I'm Japanese, but this video is a bit wrong. Some of them are new to me.I think the correct presentation is to say that it differs from region to region.
I love japan. The country is very interesting and unique. The culture is rich. Food is amazing. People are disciplined. Technology is so advance (i.e. toilets) lol. 😊
I gave up at number 10. After 35 years in Japan, I’ve only seen 9 and 10. You can get Pringle’s potato chips here. I’ve never seen the ramen version. The chips are everywhere, though.
I have noticed from other videos that Bright Side has very sloppy research... more thorough research is needed! Is there even a team of researchers or is it just the narrator?
@@rachealnaidoo9275 Rude? It's the truth. These videos are terrible. Most of the information is incorrect and the pronunciations are terrible. Would you like it if I made a video about your country and it wasn't true? Would it be rude for you to say that it was wrong?

Those Kairo hot pockets have been everywhere, even in the West, since the 1990s! They may not be called Kairo, but I doubt you'd meet a single skier or camper anywhere in the colder areas of the world that has not seen or used them.
Also, every sushi joint in Canada and the US that I've ever been to uses that rice vinegar/sugar/salt mix for sushi rice. And anyone who makes sushi at home knows to make that mix too.
Different kinds of kit kat are being sold almost everywhere not only in japan.
Exactly
1:52 you meen “Minecraft” watermelons 🍉 😅
Poe-key-mon
Stop! The e has an accent, making it sound like: Poe-kay-mon.

It's Pokemon.
Thanks for pointing it out! It's Pokémon, not Pokemon
Super interesting compilation of all these facts! 😀
Here in the Philippines, a place called BGC (Bonifacio Global City), the stop lights there always changes when it's almost Christmas, the shape of the stop light is a Christmas Tree.
U know what is something you can only see in Japan?
Mt Fuji
tru facts
I wish I could get paid to talk about inaccurate stuff lol
LOVE YOU JAPAN FROM INDIA 🇮🇳❤️
At 4:23 ....The sushi that you illustrated (Raw fish on a block of rice) is called Nigiri sushi...but you don't eat it with chopsticks...in Japan, it is properly eaten with your fingers...
You can do both. But the problem of this incorrect and misleading video is not that.
My husband and I hosted a Japanese girl from Tokyo. She LOVED onions like no other!!!!! One day she was making a dish and she put 2 very large onions in it without any thought!!! I couldn’t eat it because to me it just tasted like onion and nothing else!!! Ha.
I live in Japan but I’ve never seen or experienced any of these things you listed. Pringle’s come in a cylinder just like everywhere else. I’m thinking that most of the thinks on this list are only in Akihabara, which is a pretty strange place.
They have those hand warming packs in America too, I've used them🤦🏿♀️🤷🏿♀️
Japan is very different nice. Japan is being creative. 😎
I’m going to Japan soon and watching this, thanks!
0:21 the lady looks like she's vomiting a rainbow into her bowl haha
Yupp😂
Hey do u know BTS???.💜
@@rimalrawat1675 yes, why?
@@kat-ij7xj .
Just wanted to know their popularity.
Btw I'm a huuuuugeeee army .
😎
😂
The miffy thing can be also be seen in the Netherlands.
Also, the Pringle’s noodle cup isn’t a thing, and there is no special sauce on sushi that sticks the pieces.
That's right... Sticky rice is used in sushi... this is why it doesn't fall apart... not because of some "special sauce"
actually it's not all false, normal rice is used and it's mixed with vinegar. In japan rice is normally sticky due to how its prepared and cooked (easier to eat with chopsticks). sushi is made with fish and su-meshi, which is litteraly vinegar rice.
"20 Things Can’t Be Seen Anywhere But in Japan

Yeah...That's how culture works...
An ex military dude once told me japanese are from different galaxy or dimension.
I love japan.
My two teenager daughters even have a big dream to come to Japan. They love drawing japan anime.. and join Japan community. I wish their dream will come true🥰🥰
now i really want to go to Japan
Me too.
I live in Canada and we have pocket heaters too but I call them hand warmers or feet warmers.
that's why I rember seeing them ive almost moved to Canada but I convince my mommy otherwise it took 2 years and 3 weeks
As a Japanese I’m laughing watching this lol. Pringles ramen? Seriously? The new year KFC specials are just usual yearly specials, like Valentines specials, Halloween, etc. Subway chin rest? Never seen one lol. A doll when you’re sitting alone? Where lol. Never seen that. Probably in some otaku areas like Akihabara lol. Come on, some stuff here are weird...
HighlyClassifiedUser I’m glad we share this same confusion lol
I'm from the USA, live in Idaho and have used 'one time use' hand-warmers (and feet warmers) since the 1990s.
my favorite thing to do in japan is to go to a Lawson's, Family Mart, or any konbini, to buy adult magazines for 500 yen. most come with DVDs too.
Now I really want a custom notebook.
I love Japan and wish if I live there❤
I don't know about living in Japan, but it sure would be awesome to visit.
I love vending machines! Especially the ones that serve drinks! Those machines saved me from thirst so many times I was there for 12 days exploring the country! It's too bad the US can't have these because of vandals...
Yup. Soda machine was caged up at my old apartment complex. 😂
I think Japan maybe the country of the future. They have a lot of things that for me are really amazing!
I am so impressed by this country
Meh. Everyone trying to make Japan seem like some magical fairytale location. Try living here and soon you'll realize it's just like any other country 🙄
Pretty much half of these things are totally fake lol
syrupyourmaple is not and I living in Japan too and it have koi fish cafe
The CinnaMan because they living in a other place so they seen it magical
I actually tried the green kit kat , i kinda liked it.that was absolutely unfake.
syrupyourmaple maybe you hadn’t visit japan...they are totally living in different world that we know of...some sound crazy and weird in our world are exaclty normal in Japan...
I'm Japanese stop making false information about Japan 😐
Bright sideの人々は日本が嫌いだからわざと変なビデオをつくっています。違うコメントでBright Sideが日本のどこがそんなにいいの？ってコメントしてるの見ました。Bright Sideは日本と日本人を差別しているのです。わざと日本の社会と日本人がバカな様に見せるためにこのビデオを作成したのでしょう。
😂😂😂u r cute
ゆうほど間違ってますか？
@@スタバ-w6h わからん。
悲しい🥺🥺🥺
all i can say is I love everything about Japan..
KFC became a common tradition because most small apartments in Japan do not have an oven big enough for Turkey.
I'm Japanese, but this video is a bit wrong.
Some of them are new to me.I think the correct presentation is to say that it differs from region to region.
I love japan. The country is very interesting and unique. The culture is rich. Food is amazing. People are disciplined. Technology is so advance (i.e. toilets) lol. 😊
Hey Bright Side, how about you actually do real research or actually visit Japan before you make a misinformed and misleading video about a country.
Paul Dixon your being rude
Kavita Sawant no he isn’t being rude he is telling the truth
@@kavitasawant2205 exactly maybe the rest of the tradition is in china or South Korea or something 😊
but what he gets right is amazing
I agree
A lot of things here are not accurate
I gave up at number 10. After 35 years in Japan, I’ve only seen 9 and 10. You can get Pringle’s potato chips here. I’ve never seen the ramen version. The chips are everywhere, though.
Ooooh, I love JAPAN😍
Wow! Japan looks like an amazing country! I want to go there now.
Fly JAL direct to Tokyo.
There's ramen baths you can take in Japan, I think. I saw that in some other videos!
I'd love to try the kitkat flavours when I visit there one day.
When you're early and you don't know what to comment
I wish i was Japanese and raised with this lifestyle. Being an American makes me feel like im always sick, overworked anxious and disorganized.
normal people: wow I really like this place, people who know about japan: wonder why I don't know about this.
I love Japanese marshal arts
日本人からすると、なんでそこ？ってなる笑
In 6years I haven't seen any of these in japan.
Most of the things are false.
I have noticed from other videos that Bright Side has very sloppy research... more thorough research is needed!
Is there even a team of researchers or is it just the narrator?
Maybe its in china or somewhere else 😒😒
@@rebeccasimantov5476 stop being rude gosh 🙄
@@rachealnaidoo9275 Just being honest...sorry if you're offended by that...
@@rachealnaidoo9275 Rude? It's the truth. These videos are terrible. Most of the information is incorrect and the pronunciations are terrible. Would you like it if I made a video about your country and it wasn't true? Would it be rude for you to say that it was wrong?
Do you guys know about "Dagashi"? It like a Japanese cheap snack, candy or cake. You should check it out.
This is why I'm proud to be Japanese
then your not japanese
and most of the facts are false
