"This doesn't even begin to describe it. I went to Japan, and when I arrived in Kyoto, I wondered about what I thought was my hotel, but it wasn't. Mine was a few blocks away. To my surprise, a person from this hotel proceeded to carry my suitcase all the way to another hotel. This was while I was trying to tell him there was no need. Incredible levels of respect in Japan," commented a user.
"Japan is the best. The politeness and respect are enviable. I long to return to a polite society instead of this era of American crudeness and selfishness we're currently in," wrote another user.
This isn't the only instance highlighting Japan's discipline. Another video surfaced, showing people orderly walking in lanes and following rules on subway stairs.
Japan's reputation for cleanliness, recycling, and adherence to societal norms contributes to its image of respect and discipline. Such instances serve as reminders of the values deeply ingrained in Japanese culture.
