Why not take a backpack when traveling to Japan?

Now many people have the experience of traveling abroad. Speaking of Japan, I believe many people are deeply impressed by the local Japanese food and cherry blossoms. Many tourists come to Japan to taste the local food and beautiful scenery and feel the local culture at the same time.

Backpack is rejected by commuters because it squeezes public space. Even in China, I believe everyone has had a similar problem: when you squeeze into the subway or bus, you are surrounded by backpacks, constantly rubbing your body, but you can't lift your wrist.

When these things happen, I am even more upset because of the small space.

Earlier, an online survey of Japanese office workers showed that "taking the subway with a backpack" became the most annoying behavior of office workers, accounting for 66.2%;

In addition, 9.0% of the respondents chose to "put the bag on the seat".

8.3% people choose to "put their bags on the ground or at their feet";

The above concerns about the placement of carry-on luggage are even higher than the noise and food in the carriage.

In fact, the biggest reason is that there is almost no public space during rush hours.

I believe that many people in the picture below have seen it on social media. Japanese people are really crowded at work!

Many people think it is normal for tourists to travel with backpacks, and Japanese people don't need to care about this problem. However, under the explanation of an international student, everyone knows that there is a reason why Japanese people don't like tourists' backpacks, because Japan is a populous country, and the traffic will be very crowded every rush hour. At this time, carrying a backpack, it is easy to bump into others when turning around, which is why Japanese people don't like tourists' backpacks.

In Japan, you will find that most students carry backpacks. Because children are in the developmental stage, carrying a backpack is easy to affect them, and because primary school students are small and easy to attract the attention of other passengers, they will not easily bump into others. After reaching a certain age, senior students and office workers will naturally change into shoulder bags and handbags, which is also a common phenomenon in the local area.
