@jpn_things: Everyone says Japan is clean - and that’s mostly true. But in Tokyo, especially Shibuya and Shinjuku, trash has become a real problem. New littering fines are starting this year, so watch out and keep the streets clean. Tag a friend who’s coming to Japan 🇯🇵 Follow @jpn_things for real life in Japan. #jpn_things #Tokyo #Japan #Shibuya #Shinjuku
This is due to Japan having almost no public Garbage cans near tourist areas.

I would rather die than throw trash on the ground. The thought of it is so embarrassing like how are these people throwing trash wherever 😭😭😭 just hold onto it until you have a trash can
