Traveling in Japan, you can't even find a trash can on the street, but why are the streets in Japan so clean?

Trash cans are not everywhere in the streets of Japan as in China, but because of the education Japanese received since childhood, they are used to preparing garbage bags or paper towels in their bags to dispose of their garbage before going out. In addition, because garbage disposal is troublesome, Japanese people will try to avoid producing garbage when traveling. This behavior habit is rare in China.

Due to the cultural differences between the two countries, many people in China have never heard of this way of life. But as more and more Japanese people go abroad to travel to China, people find this strange problem. Even though there are no trash cans on the streets of Japan, their streets are still very clean. The reason for this is that there are no garbage cans outside the streets of Japan, because when they were young, they used to take a garbage bag or a piece of cloth, wrap their garbage outside and take it home for treatment.

In Japan, if you litter everywhere, you will be fined relatively high. Therefore, even if people go out without garbage bags or other things that can hold garbage, they will not litter at will.

Therefore, although there are no garbage cans on the streets of Japan, one of the reasons is that I have developed the habit of carrying garbage bags with me since I was a child, and the other reason is that under the provisions of laws and various social rules, I have been prevented from doing such things from the legal level.

So when we travel to Japan, we should prepare garbage bags or environmental protection bags for going out in advance. In this way, you can avoid the embarrassing situation that you can't find a trash can on the street when you are playing, and you have to throw it on the ground and get a high fine.
