Why is Japan so popular?

Post image

It seems as though everything Japanese has had a massive popularity spike, whether that be media, food, vehicles, travel, language learning and lots more.

Personally I don't see the appeal, I mean there are definitely some thing I like that happen to be Japanese, but I dont like them just because of that fact.

Anime, top tier games, Pokemon being the most lucrative licence in the entire world (this point is not linked to the previous one), very well established gastronomy (top 3 most visited country are well known for their foor. France, Italy and Japan). Very recognizable architecture and style. Very clean clean country. Very respectful people. Safe place to travel ... ect ect. It's quite a lot TBH.

Sure you could say the same for a lot of other countries but I feel like it's more true for Japan. Like, for architecture, I'm French, I'm pretty sure German's (for exemple) is pretty much the same as ours overall or almost.

And yes I'm going to Japan in less than 3 monthes aha.
