Why You Won’t Find Trash Bins in Japanese Cities.

Where’s the trash can?

Bring back trash and memories from your trip.

There are no trash cans in Japanese cities.
There are no trash cans, yet the streets are surprisingly clean.

I learned this from my parents.

“If you have any garbage from your trip, take it home with you and your memories.”

I recently went to a local cherry blossom festival. There were no trash cans installed at the site.

There was a sign on a cherry tree.

“There are no trash cans at the festival site. Take your trash home with you.”
