17 Crazy Things That Are Only Possible in Japan

You won’t believe what sort of things are waiting for you in the Land of the Rising Sun! It is like a whole other world full of unbelievable phenomena and weird traditions.
Japanese subways have so many passengers during rush hours that there are special workers — oshiya — who push people into trains. Their goal is to squeeze as many people as possible into a subway tram. They wear white gloves and pushes people into a train so that the doors can be shut.
Almost 5 million Kit Kat bars are eaten daily by the Japanese. Overall, Nestle has created more than 300 different taste varieties of these bars just for Japan, including the most fantastic flavors, from chili pepper and wasabi to green tea and pear.
Japanese people love the cherry tree so much that not only do they eagerly look forward to its flowering season each spring, but also they use the whole plant. They eat berries, blossoms, and leaves. Dishes featuring cherry petals are particularly popular in spring when the entire country is covered with a soft pink carpet of blooming cherry trees.
The “Hollywood smile” in Japan is considered too open and provocative. Instead, the reverse is in favor: not just crooked teeth but building up and correction resulting in “double teeth.”
The modern panel next to the toilet in Japan has dozens of buttons serving to turn on the bidet or the shower, warm up the seat, and even regulate the music.
