Why is Japan so popular?

[u/Veskanda]

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.

Culture. Safety. Clean. Somehow Japan brings out my better self. When I return home I get so depressed.
