Japan has always seemed like something out of a sci-fi novel for those of us who still haven't visited this beautiful country. People who have visited Japan or moved there full-time often notice many small details that make day-to-day life much easier.
A TikTok user by the name of Steven Wong, or "ALLSTAR STEVEN," posted multiple videos about all the unusual things he encountered in Japan that absolutely make sense. It's the small things that make a difference, like lockers for your umbrella or small shopping baskets for kids.
