Tokyo is the safest metropolis in the world
Research center The Economist Intelligence Unit published a ranking of the safest cities in the world. In compiling the report took into account such indicators as informational and personal security, health and condition of city infrastructure. Of the totality of all indicators, Tokyo ranked 1st place at the 2nd Singapore and 3rd — again Japanese city, namely in Osaka.

In Japan, everywhere you can see the instructions and pointers which can to understand foreigners, because text is often duplicated in English and accompanied by pictures.
The Japanese children have a shared birthday
15 November for all who this year celebrated 3, 5 or 7 years, arranged a big feast of Shichi-Go-San, which means "seven-five-three". Odd numbers are considered magical in Japan, and their corresponding age symbolizes an important and crucial stages of growing up.
Collective charge
The students and staff of most companies start their day with charging or yoga. This tradition exists since 1928 and is strongly supported because it not only improves the health of workers, but also contributes to their convergence. In a collective country like Japan, it is of great importance.
"Premium Friday"
It is no secret that in Japan, almost all working people suffer from fatigue, as a daily work late, sometimes for 2-3 hours. To combat this phenomenon, the government adopted a program called Premium Friday. Now the last Friday of every month employees can go home a few hours earlier. The first who decided to take this opportunity (and at the same time to set an example to their fellow citizens), became economy Minister Hiroshige Seko — he after work went to play Curling.

Ultrafast repair of roads
In 2014, in the city of Fukuoka on one of the streets formed a huge pit depth of 15 meters. Apparently, the sinkhole was caused by the construction of the subway, but fortunately, during the collapse no one was hurt. It's hard to believe that it ever took place, because the hole was eliminated in just 48 hours, which is extremely surprised Internet users around the world.
Caring staff maintenance services

Maximum convenience in a minimum of space
As a rule, the Japanese live in small apartments, but in all new houses on the balconies have wash basins supplied with water. This is done in order to make it easier to take care of flowers.
Attention to detail
Even for such as manholes. Some of them look no worse than Museum exhibits.
"Trains-bullets"
High-speed train lines "Shinkansen" is called the bullets. They can develop speed to 300 km/h and allow residents of remote towns in time to get to work or school. As you know, the delay in Japan are not welcome, even if they happen through no fault of latecomers.
Alert system, incorporated into all mobile phones
In addition to the national alert system, J-Alert, which allows authorities to warn the population via the media and loudspeakers in Japan uses a system of SMS alerts. It is built into all modern cell phones, and in the case of threat of emergency situations, local authorities require from 4 to 20 seconds to get it to send a message to the people of the region.
Incredible culinary diversity
In Japan you can find anything from traditional cakes a day to a candy bar with the taste of Sakura. And very soon will open a cafe for fans of LEGO, where you can try food that looks a lot like the designer items — however, it doesn't make it any less delicious.
The vegetables look like works of art
In Japan it is highly prized art of mukimono, that is the art of carving vegetables and fruits, or carving. Every region of the country has its own stories, mukimono, and to create it using a knife Khocho (it was originally used for cutting seafood) and special stencils.
Toothpaste that treats caries
Using toothpaste, which was invented by a Japanese scientist Kazuyo Yamaguchi, you can quickly and painlessly to plug holes and cracks in the teeth. First contained in the paste substance dissolves slightly the surface of the cracked enamel.
