Yes, that was a peculiar situation.The efficiency of Japanese public transit is astounding
Even though rush hour in Tokyo was awful, I do miss being able to get anywhere in the city and nation by train. Additionally, I was quite grateful for how on time the trains were in Japan. I used to take local trains and Shinkansens for the most of my journeys, and neither one was ever late.
Imagine living in a location where trains arrive at 8.29 and depart at 8.30 instead of arriving at 8.30 as
scheduled. Still makes me uncomfortable, but in a good way.

It is one of the Japanese aesthetic principles, according to artists. The plain fact is that Japanese people simply enjoy cute things. - The cherry blossom season in Japan is breathtaking.

coworkers to take advantage of the fleeting sakura blossoms.

middle of Tokyo, and still wake up with your wallet and phone in hand.
- In general, Japanese folks are very, very kind.
After only meeting you once, they remember your name and are nice and kind (I so do not have the same talent).
