Viral Video By Indian Influencer Proves Japan’s Cleanliness , Or Does It?

News Asia 360

Japan is globally admired for its cutting-edge technology and exceptional cleanliness, evident in its meticulously maintained streets, parks, and transport systems. This reputation was recently put to the test by Simran Jain, an Indian travel influencer, whose video about Japan’s spotless streets garnered over 33 million views according to IndianXpress.

In the video, Jain buys a fresh pair of socks and walks barefoot through the streets of Japan, promising to reveal whether they stay clean. By the end, she shows the socks looking as pristine as when she first wore them, claiming it as evidence of Japan’s unparalleled cleanliness. “Exploring Japan, one step at a time, literally,” Jain captioned the video, sparking amazement and skepticism alike on social media.

While some viewers praised the experiment, others questioned its authenticity. One commenter noted, “I’ve lived in Japan for over 25 years, and while it’s clean, it’s not dust-free. The video seems staged.” Another user highlighted inconsistencies in the video, such as identical settings at the beginning and end, suggesting the results might be fabricated.

What I think

While this video’s authenticity is questionable, Japan’s reputation for cleanliness is undeniably well-earned. The country’s cultural emphasis on respect, responsibility, and hygiene is evident in its spotless streets and efficient waste management systems. However, to claim that socks would remain completely dust-free after walking outdoors seems implausible. Whether or not this experiment is real, it effectively highlights the unique cleanliness standards that make Japan stand out globally. So what do you think?
