Description

Why are Japan’s streets so clean—even though there are almost no public trash cans? Many visitors are surprised by this mystery. In this episode, we take a deeper look at why Japan is considered one of the cleanest countries in the world. Beyond the strong sense of social responsibility and rule-following, we highlight the quiet efforts of local volunteers—ordinary people who pick up trash in their neighborhoods each morning. Discover how these unsung heroes help keep Japan beautiful.
