As you have lived in the U.S. for a longer period of time, don't you start to see the good and bad aspects of Japan, and the aspects that need to be corrected?
If I had not come to the U.S., I would not have noticed that some things are common knowledge in the U.S. I am not an American fanatic by any means.
I have seen and know a lot of the "messiness" and bad aspects of America. However, there are many reasonable and good aspects. The purpose of this topic is to discuss everyday examples, and to get the word out and spread from this place to Japan.

My dream is that some local government in Japan will discover this topic and start working with the topics discussed in the topic and say, "Let's create a model city ！ that is different from what Japan has been used to.

The topics are limited to topics related to Japan.
Politics, economy, weak police force, corona problem, injection problem, working style, internet diffusion, stocks, virtual currency, English education, prices, land prices, earthquake, defense problem, lack of credit card diffusion, lack of my number diffusion, health insurance, retirement benefits, tax evasion friendly society, criminal friendly Self-Defense Forces are paid too little, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc. ？ Let's discuss anything else.

I have Google Pay on my phone and I can pay at stores with it, but

I can't pay in Japan because it doesn't have a FeliCa chip.

Even iPhones available here do not have a FeliCa chip.

Thank you all for your prompt and varied comments.

On the topic from me, the issue of the erroneous transfer of 46.3 million yen in Corona benefits. There were many things that surprised me when I saw the News. The information data of the town residents was input into a floppy disk by the person in charge of the town office. The supervisor did not check it, but took the floppy disk to a nearby bank and handed it to the bank and made a verbal request, saying, "Please send the money as it is put in this floppy disk. The bank remitted the money with that information. After receiving 46.3 million yen by mistake, the 24-year-old man moved the money to another location, where it was neatly spent.

I was astonished to learn that they still have this way of doing business, and that they are still doing it.

If there had been
a hundred steps to prevent the receiving bank from immediately withdrawing a large deposit （ for example, a 7-day hold ） even if the floppy data was wrong and the money was misdirected, it might have turned out differently.

In this one example, if you are a US resident, you would have to change to this kind of system. I think everyone would immediately realize that.

Japan is a developed country, however, I see areas where we have not progressed at all in these areas for decades, and where there is no power to change it.

What do you think ？

Japan's biggest no-no is probably its education system.

Oya, Oya,


Oh, say ・ Fumihiro Jyosuke ・ is you.


I have not the slightest gratitude for you.


＞ Why don't you just charge your Suica card with your credit card and use it

Around 2015, you could buy and charge Suica cards at JR Midori-no madoguchi with your credit card, but a few years after that Midori-no madoguchi ・ both Suica card vending machines only accept cash.

I don't know what is happening now, but did you charge your Suica card with a credit card recently?

In Japan, there are still so many stores where cards are not accepted. I guess it is a manual question, but I don't think it is necessary. There are still many people who do not have a credit card, and even if they have a card, many of them put it away in their wardrobe, saying, "If I use my card, my debt will increase and I will be in big trouble ！.
