I like cleanliness and bathing in Japan. Those are more like customs than cultural tradition.
Last time, I wrote about restaurant hygiene.

Japanese streets are clean.
I miss Onsen (hot springs). According to the old document, monks, emperors, and samurai visited in the 8th century.
Onsen is tied to Buddhism and Shinto. In the past, natural waters were used for spiritual cleansing.
「あなたの国で、好きな文化的伝統は何ですか？」という質問なんですが、私は日本の清潔さとお風呂が好きかな。文化的伝統 というより、むしろ習慣に近いものって言ってもいいかも。
前回、レストランの衛生について少し書いたけど。
日本の通り(ほぼ全部) は、きれいだと思います。
あと、日本の温泉が恋しい。古い文献によれば、8世紀には、僧侶、天皇、武士たちが温泉を訪れていたとか。
温泉は仏教や神道とも深く結びついてて、かつては自然の湯が心身を浄化させるとして用いられていたそうです。

That’s amazing to know, Lili!!
Do you take a shower or bath?
Mostly showers 🚿
Here is the same. I take a bath, but the bathtub is not deep…
Since you referred to culture, Sanatan has its own elaborate bathing calendar.
I love this perspective. Japan’s cleanliness and onsen culture are truly special. There’s something peaceful and refreshing about bathing in natural hot springs.
Japan is an island country. So some cultures are traditional 😊
I liked it ☺️
