@armorpro573 Japanese pay per hour is notoriously bad, at least for the typical salaryman. But that is because of the "mandatory" overtime, drinking events etc. that come with it. As for the rest, as always: It depends.

No one steals them is wrong. Ther eis a real bike stealing problem in Tokyo as you can see by all the posters and police actions. That said on average it's more likely you need to buy a new bike because of age than that it gets stolen. One of the other urbanist channels just had that topic a few days ago.

@1Rab For the price of 1 iPhone 15 plus I pay 2 month of rent in Germany. And my Japan trip wil be for 3 month, starting in Hokkaido in the summer and moving down with the cooler temperatures. Still need to save the price a few iphones 15+ for that though.

No. You have smaller cars because the streets are smaller. And nobody feels like they must drive a SUV to not get turned into a soup like homogenate when they crash wth one of the tanks the Americans call pickup trucks.

When I see those American stroads in all the videos, it does not even feel soulless. It feels like actually soul negative, like your soul gets sucked in into those non-places.

@sorenjunkers3834 Yes, It's like highway traffic, just that there are about 10.000 times more people transported and you actually get to your destination on time.

That is because Tokyo is not a city. It's more like a county in US terms. Akihabara, Shibuja etc. are all cities/wards on their own making up the Tokyo Metropolitan area. They have their own town halls and their own centers and their own "suburbs". In fact the famous landmark building "Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building" which is referred to as the "town hall" of Tokyo, stands in the city of Shinjuku.
