Here are 10 facts about Japan that many people still doesn't know about
Aging Population: Japan has one of the world's most rapidly aging populations, with a significant percentage of its citizens being over the age of 65. This demographic shift poses challenges to the country's economy and social systems.
Island Nation: While many people are aware that Japan is an island nation, they might not realize that it consists of over 6,800 islands. The four largest islands—Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku—make up about 97% of the country's land area.
World's Oldest Company: The Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan, a traditional hot spring hotel in Yamanashi Prefecture, holds the Guinness World Record for being the world's oldest continuously operating company. It was founded in 705 AD and has been owned by the same family for over 50 generations.
Kit Kat Craze: Japan is known for its unique Kit Kat flavors, ranging from matcha (green tea) and sweet potato to sake and wasabi. These regional variations have made collecting and trying different Kit Kat flavors a popular trend among tourists and locals alike.
High-Tech Toilets: Japan is famous for its advanced toilets, which come equipped with features such as heated seats, bidet functions, air dryers, and even music to mask sounds. These toilets showcase the country's technological innovation and attention to detail.
No Tipping Culture: Unlike many other countries, tipping is not a common practice in Japan and can even be considered rude. Exceptional service is expected as part of the standard experience, and leaving money on the table might be met with confusion.
Train Punctuality: Japanese trains are renowned for their punctuality. It's not uncommon for trains to arrive and depart within a minute of their scheduled time. Delays of even a few minutes are considered noteworthy and are often apologized for.
Vending Machine Variety: Japan has an incredible density of vending machines, offering a wide range of products beyond just beverages. You can find everything from fresh eggs and hot food to umbrellas and even ties in these automated dispensers.
Unique Driving Laws: In Japan, it's illegal to drive while wearing headphones or using an umbrella while walking on the road. These rules are in place to ensure safety and maintain proper road etiquette.
Haunted Locations: Aokigahara, commonly known as the "Suicide Forest," is a dense forest at the base of Mount Fuji. While known for its beauty, it has gained a somber reputation due to being a site where people have historically gone to take their own lives. This has prompted efforts to raise awareness about mental health and provide support for those in need.
These lesser-known facts about Japan shed light on the country's unique culture, traditions, and societal dynamics, going beyond the surface-level knowledge that many people have.

However, I will mostly upload a blog about bikes and their development in the next few months! Recently, I have so much into ebike cargo. They say this type of bike can replace the car! And I am very into it since my place is crowded with traffic jams! The video above showed a funny situation: I started the review from Brooks's handle! And after nine years! It's still an excellent bike handle and not even destroyed!

OK, that’s a bit overboard – but you couldn’t blame me if you see an incredibly, exquisitely and wonderfully executed custom LEGO Transformers Devastator such as this by Alex Jones.
