As the others have mentioned, it's hard to tell if there's less littering or if the people cleaning up after the a-holes are just more diligent. I think it's both. At Fujisawa/Enoshima they have a twice a year beach cleanup these days and get about 100 bags of trash out each time. And that's not including the marine debris.I remember back in the days when I started living here that I was surprised to see no garbage bins on the streets. In Holland there are bins everywhere. You would think people would litter as there aren't any but it is they opposite as people don't really do it, but in Holland people do litter way more than here.
In that situation, most people rinse with water and dry off with the handkerchief they keep with them for that purpose. But as Mike said, soap is commonly provided these days.If there is no soap do you just not wash your hands, or do you go to some place close by and use theirs?
Relative to the amount of people there, surprisingly little. Believe it or not, Japan sometimes gets smog that comes over all the way from China!I was wondering, seeing as how Japan has industrial and is a small nation, does Japan have any smog problems?
