A lot of people know that Japan has very few public trash cans, but fewer people know that one reason is connected to the 1995 Tokyo subway sarin attack carried out by the cult Aum Shinrikyo (オウム真理教).

On March 20, 1995, members of the cult released sarin nerve gas on multiple Tokyo subway lines, killing 14 people and injuring thousands more. The attack shocked Japan and permanently changed how the country viewed public security.

In the years that followed, many train stations and public spaces reduced or removed trash cans because unattended containers could potentially be used to conceal dangerous items or suspicious packages. While the sarin attack was not the only reason trash cans disappeared, it accelerated a trend toward greater caution in public spaces.

The other half of the story is cultural. Japan already had a strong expectation that people take responsibility for their own garbage. Instead of relying on public bins, many people simply carry their trash until they get home or find a designated disposal area.

That combination—security concerns after the Aum attack and a culture that discourages littering—helps explain why Japan can have surprisingly few public trash cans while still maintaining some of the cleanest streets in the world.

So yes, the video is ridiculous.

But the history behind it is very real.

Can ninjas actually walk on water?

Not really.

The idea comes from a device called 水蜘蛛 (mizugumo), or “water spider,” described in ninja manuals during the Sengoku period. The goal wasn’t to become Japanese Jesus. It was to help spies cross marshes, reeds, and shallow water without immediately sinking into mud like an idiot.

The problem?

Modern recreations showed these things weren’t exactly the revolutionary aquatic technology anime would have you believe.

So what happened?

The same thing that happens to every cool historical story.

A practical gadget became a legend.
A legend became a myth.
And eventually somebody decided ninjas could sprint across entire lakes while carrying a katana and unresolved childhood trauma.

In reality, most ninjas were spies, scouts, and saboteurs—not magical assassins teleporting through smoke.

Why do Japanese people still wear masks?

Because Japan accidentally made itself allergic.

After WWII, Japan planted massive amounts of cedar trees (杉 / sugi) across the country to help rebuild the nation. Sounds nice, right?

Wrong.

Now every spring the trees basically ejaculate pollen into the atmosphere like a biological attack. Nearly 40% of Japan suffers from 花粉症 (hay fever), which means millions of people spend springtime sneezing like Victorian tuberculosis patients.

So when you see Japanese people wearing masks, it’s not always:
“OH MY GOD GERMS.”

Sometimes it’s:
“The trees are trying to deepthroat my sinuses again.”

And that’s the funniest part:
Japan caused this shit itself.

The government planted all these trees after the war to save the country, and now the country gets bukake’d by the forest every March.

That’s like Reiko nursing me back to emotional health…
then mailing me my own cum sock back vacuum sealed.

Yes, Japan actually has North Korean schools.

After World War II, many Koreans were left displaced across Japan. Then Korea split into North and South during the Cold War, and different Korean communities in Japan supported different governments.

In 1955, Chongryon was founded as the pro–North Korea organization in Japan. Over time, it helped support a network of Korean schools across the country.

These schools are outside Japan’s regular education system and teach Korean language, history, and culture. Some schools historically used materials praising the Kim regime, which is why they became politically controversial.

At one point, students even wore traditional uniforms inspired by North Korean style, which made the schools instantly recognizable in Japan.

Today there are still over 70 of these schools operating in Japan, from kindergarten all the way to university level.

So yes — Japan, one of America’s closest allies in Asia, also ended up with North Korean schools operating inside the country.

Cold War lore in East Asia is genuinely insane.#learnjapanese #japanesehistory #filthyfranku #parody
Japan often framed its expansion in Asia as a mission to “liberate” the region from Western imperial powers. This idea later became known as the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere—basically “Asia for Asians,” without European control. And to be fair, at the time, much of Asia was under Western colonial rule, so that message wasn’t coming out of nowhere.

But Korea’s situation was a bit different. After the First Sino-Japanese War, China’s influence over Korea weakened, and Japan stepped in. By the Annexation of Korea, Korea was fully under Japanese rule.

During that period, Japan introduced major infrastructure projects—railways, industrial development, centralized administration. At the same time, there were policies aimed at integrating Korea into the Japanese Empire: control over government, restrictions on Korean language and education, and later efforts encouraging or pressuring people to adopt Japanese names and cultural practices.

So depending on how you look at it, you can see both sides of the argument: modernization and development on one hand, and political control and cultural suppression on the other. That tension is what makes this part of history so debated.

History isn’t always clean. Sometimes it’s both things at once—and that’s where the conversation starts. #learnjapanese #japanesehistory #filthyfranku #parody
Japan’s current immigration stance isn’t “open” or “closed” — it’s structured.

Under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, the government has been framing policy around 「外国人との秩序ある共生社会」, which translates to an “orderly coexistence with foreigners.” The key word there is orderly. It means foreigners are welcome to live and work in Japan, but within clearly defined rules and expectations.

On the enforcement side, the government has emphasized reducing illegal overstayers and tightening compliance with visa conditions. That includes stronger monitoring and enforcement through the Immigration Services Agency (出入国在留管理庁).

At the same time, Japan is developing a system similar to the U.S. ESTA, often referred to as JESTA. This would require certain travelers to be screened before entering the country, allowing authorities to filter applicants before arrival.

There have also been changes to administrative fees. For example, the cost to renew or change residence status has increased, reflecting both administrative costs and tighter control over long-term stays.

So what does this all mean?

Japan is not shutting its doors — but it is making it clearer that entry and long-term residence come with conditions. The system prioritizes compliance, predictability, and control, rather than unrestricted immigration.

Call it strict, call it structured — but it’s definitely intentional. #learnjapanese #immigration #filthyfranku #parody
Did Jesus really die on the cross?

According to a local legend in Shingo Village, Aomori—no.

This story, often referred to as “Christ’s Tomb” (キリストの墓), claims that Jesus did not die during the crucifixion. Instead, his brother, known as Isukiri, took his place and was crucified in his stead. According to the legend, Jesus escaped, traveled across Asia, and eventually settled in Japan.

There, the story says he lived as a farmer, married a local woman (often named Miyuko), and had children. He is said to have lived to an old age, with some versions of the legend placing his death at over 100 years old.

In Shingo Village today, there are two burial mounds: one said to be the tomb of Jesus, and another associated with Isukiri. The site is marked and maintained, and has become a small but well-known local attraction.

This legend is not part of Christian doctrine and is widely considered folklore. It is often linked to the “Takenouchi Documents,” which most historians regard as a modern fabrication. However, the site and the story continue to exist as part of local culture and tourism in Aomori.

So while it may not be accepted history, it is still a real place—with a real story.

And yes, you can visit it. #learnjapanese #japanesehistory #filthyfranku #parody #jesus
Hot springs in Japan aren’t some weird modern trend—they go back over 1,000 years.

Early records from the Nara period already mention people bathing in natural hot springs for healing and relaxation. By the Heian period, it wasn’t just about cleaning your body—it became part of culture, religion, and even status. Temples and elites used hot springs for purification, recovery, and honestly… just chilling before Netflix existed.

During the Edo period, bathing culture exploded. Public bathhouses (銭湯) became normal, and people from all classes got used to being naked around each other. No drama. No panic. Just vibes and hot water.

That mindset still exists today. 温泉 (onsen) and 銭湯 (sento) are about relaxing, healing, and resetting—not anything sexual. It’s closer to a group spa than whatever your brain might be imagining.

The whole “this is weird” reaction mostly comes from cultural differences. In Japan, nudity in this context is neutral. It’s not about showing off or hiding—it’s just… being human.

So yeah, the joke in the video is real:
The hot spring itself isn’t “gay” or anything else. It’s just water coming out of the ground.

What you think when you’re in there?

That’s on you 😂 #learnjapanese #japanesehistory #filthyfranku #parody
I gave ¥1,000 for each question to a local from Tokyo, right in Shinjuku in front of the iconic Godzilla Head 🗼🦖.

He taught me a very slang Japanese phrase (use with caution 😅), and we both laughed about it.
His favorite Japanese food is Iekei ramen 🍜, a Tokyo classic.
His favorite song is by EVOS Beats 🎧.

When I asked what he loves most about Japan, he said how safe it is — so safe that you could fall asleep outside and still have all your belongings the next day. That level of trust really says everything 🇯🇵❤️.

🇯🇵 Things to do in Tokyo (Shinjuku):
• Visit the Godzilla Head in Kabukicho 🦖
• Eat a rich bowl of Iekei ramen 🍜
• Walk Shinjuku at night safely 🌃
• Talk to locals — humor and honesty are part of the culture
