According to a recent questionnaire survey by the Japan Tourism Agency, “too few trash cans” is the most common problem mentioned by foreign tourists when talking about the inconveniences they encounter when traveling in Japan. Japan's Kyodo News Agency reported on the 5th, citing data from the Japan Tourism Agency. The survey was conducted at five major airports in Japan from December 2024 to January 2025, including New Chitose Airport, Narita Airport, Haneda Airport, Kansai Airport, and Fukuoka Airport. More than 4,000 foreign tourists were surveyed while waiting for the flight. 21.9% of respondents said that the number one trouble during a trip to Japan was that there were too few trash bins in public places such as train stations. Many foreign tourists complained that they sometimes had to take their trash back to the hotel and throw it away because they couldn't find a trash can.
