As a Japanese, I don't want to be misunderstood in many ways, so I will explain. Japanese people are not workaholics. There are a few cases of death by overwork, but this is not a common occurrence. That information about Japan's working hours is wrong. Some Western media are exaggerating and half lying about Japan.We Japanese do not work 70+ hours a week. The average daily working hours for a Japanese person is about 9 hours. Japanese work shorter hours than in Canada, the United States and Italy,　Australia. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　↓ 【Employment　-　Hours worked　‐　OECD　Data　Hours】 （Worked: Average annual hours actually worked） In Japan, the law allows up to 45 hours of overtime per month. In Japan, if a worker needs to work more than 45 hours of overtime in a month, he or she must apply to the Labor Standards Inspection Office for permission to do so. Few Japanese work 70 hours a week. ※The total number of annual holidays in Japanese company is about　76days~124days. Overall, except for some misunderstandings, I think you have made a favorable video about Japan.

Every family has that one person who will break the family's financial struggle, I hope you become the one 😊

I am Japanese. The suicide rate in Japan is not so high. Many people misunderstand this because the Western mass media reports that the suicide rate in Japan is very high, which is not true. You can find youtube videos of suicide rates around the world by searching this title. →Top 20 Country by Suicide Rate (1950-2018) The source for the "Top 20 Countries by Suicide Rate (1950-2018)" is "World Health Organization & World Bank (WHO)". If anyone looks into the data of "WHO", they can see the fact that the suicide rate in Japan is not high. Here are some countries with higher suicide rates among young people than Japan. ↓　　　↓　　　↓ Crude suicide rates(per 100 000 population)　2019年　WHO Japan 15-29 years old 13.54 people USA 15-29 years old 17.72 people Sweden 15-29 years old 14.57 people Finland 15-29 years old 18.47 people Iceland 15-29 years old 14.6 people New Zealand 15 to 29 years old 13.92 people Russia 15 to 29 years old 19.38 people Australia 15-19 years old 10.22 people Japan 15-19 years old 7.84 people By the way, it's a pity that the music used in the video is Chinese music. Overall, except for some misunderstandings, I think you have made a favorable video about Japan.

Lived in Tokyo for five years from 2003-2007. Best and most interesting five years of my life.

Jobs will pay your bills business will make you rich but investment makes and you keep you wealthy the future is inevitable

Just got the notification. Been waiting a long time for this one to be translated. Can't wait to watch it later.

It's like I have seen Japan myself, I cried! Thanks for the amazing video!!

Have seen so many of your other videos and was excited to see you uploaded Japan, as that's where I live. It's easy to feel indifferent about Tokyo after living here for 14 years, but your cinematography reminded me how much there is to appreciate. I do hope you get to come back soon. when you do, don't hesitate to let us know if you need anything! Much love to you and everyone in Ukraine. Think of you all every day. <3

Japan is my favourite country. I can meet the locals hospitality, culture, food, nature, best integrated transportation. Japan has everything.

Anton, your insights about Japan are spot on. Your cinematography is topnotch. I was in Tokyo as a foreign exchange student and thoroughly loved my experience. Hope you upload more videos and visit my country the Philippines 🇵🇭❤

Wonderful video. I traveled to Japan in 2017. I still think about it all the time. It definitely has a unique way to capture people's minds. I'd love to go back again some day.

The best vlog of Japan I've ever seen! Phenomenal shots, stunning camera handling and preparation - you are the best!

Антон, надеюсь, что у тебя и твоих близких всё хотя бы относительно спокойно. Береги себя! Безумно рад пересмотреть любимейший выпуск в английской озвучке

Wow! This is a very motivating video! 🔥🔥🔥 Thank you, Anton, for your Fuji! 💗💗

Japan is one of the few countries which I would like to visit but didn't visit yet. Thanks for this video, great job!

Anton, your cinematography and narration along with the natural joy on your face make your videos an absolute delight! Thank you! I had the good fortune of visiting Japan in 1998 for a university friend’s wedding. I agree that it was a « wonderland ! »
