Next, let's learn about Japan's charm as the only Asian country to be listed in the top ten of the "World's Best Countries" and ranked sixth?
Firstly, Japan is a country that attaches great importance to the protection and inheritance of traditional culture. These ancient cultures, such as tea ceremony, calligraphy, flower ceremony, music, and kabuki, continue to exist today, showcasing the individuality and charm of Japanese culture, while constantly nurturing its own elegant and subtle charm.
Secondly, Japan's tourism industry has also recovered quickly after the epidemic. According to the data released by the Japan Tourism Agency on the 18th, the total number of foreigners visiting Japan in September was 2.18 million, which has recovered to 96.1% of the level in the same period of 2019 before the COVID-19 epidemic (the actual number in 2019 was 2.272883). This is also the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan in a single month for four consecutive months, exceeding 2 million.
At the same time, even without the main force of Chinese group tourists, the Tourism Department released a survey on the consumption trend of foreign tourists visiting Japan from July to September on the same day, with a consumption amount of 1.39 trillion yen, an increase of 17.7% compared to the same period in 2019, significantly exceeding the pre epidemic level!
In addition, the welfare system in Japanese society is quite sound and very humane! There are various systems available, including maternity benefits, child welfare, disabled and elderly welfare, as well as life assistance and medical assistance for the lowest income group, and they are constantly being improved according to social needs. We have taken care of the "vulnerable groups" and ensured the basic requirements of people's lives.
Japan is one of the countries with low crime rates in the world and also has the highest rate of property loss and recovery. The police in Japan are very dedicated, and no matter where you go, you can find help from the police.
Although many people have the impression of Japan as a "declining developed country" or "economic stagnation", in fact, as a developed country, Japan's technological and economic strength is still difficult to surpass.
In addition, Japan also ranks among the top in terms of service, education level, and other aspects. Japan's ability to break through the tight encirclement among more than 80 candidate countries and win sixth place can be considered as another demonstration of Japan's strength.
