2023-04-29 00:23:00

Hello, I’m Mr. Leon here. Recently, the weather in Japan is good, not too hot, not too cold. I see a lot of friends traveling together. Many people visit Tokyo in addition to being the capital city where travel is convenient. There are many airlines going up and down. And it’s also very easy to travel around the city. Some people connect planes in the country. Some people take the Shinkansen to go to other provinces quickly. In Tokyo, there are many popular neighborhoods full of unique charms. especially at major train stations Even being just one station away from each other already gave me a different feeling. Therefore, Tokyo has a lot of variety in tourism.


For example, around Tokyo Station, it is close to Hibiya, Yurakucho, Ginza, which are lively shopping streets. Or going to the Imperial Palace will pass through the Marunouchi district, which is the financial district and government offices. It is an area with many skyscrapers. or if traveling to the west of Tokyo Must not miss going to Shinjuku. The tourist area that Thai people are very popular with. There are both lights and sounds. lots of shopping After the Second World War, this area was called the Black Market. Nowadays, there are modern tall buildings but still have a dark atmosphere.


Not far from Shinjuku If anyone wants to go to the youth source a bit. He often goes to walk around Shibuya and Harajuku. But nowadays, if talking regarding Japanese teenagers in their 10s, 20s, it seems to be much less than people in their 40s, 50s, 60s and above. Youth like old times is gone (・ω・`)

but in the nearby area Together, there is a district of 下北沢. Shimokitazawa Shimokitazawa It is another area that has a hip culture that combines a touch of traditional Japan. It has long been known as a hot spot for fashion and trendy culture. There is a second-hand clothing store. paraphernalia, theater, live house, chic coffee shop, and also a brewery with art performances and live bands, street artist style in the city of avant-garde art. Very busy especially in the evening (Of course, along the surrounding Chuo Line there is a liberal community. Leftists and communists of writers, manga artists, culture lovers. Many art workers) In other words, “City of young people”


There is an interesting explanation in a book written regarding the Shimokitazawa area. that there was an important person Financial institutions and government agencies Come to check the business in this area in the early morning. But it turned out that it was already nine o’clock. It’s ten o’clock. Don’t expect that the shop around that area will open easily. The inspector got angry and left!

I’ve read that there is a theory that divides people into 2 types, namely people who wake up in the morning and go to bed in the evening. and people who wake up at night – stay up late until the morning of the next day

●The type of person who wakes up in the morning and goes to bed in the evening. There will be no problem dealing with work time in the morning. which is normal working hours in modern times He can wake up early Come and enjoy your breakfast and warm coffee. and leave home and go to work with plenty of time The life of this type coincides with the rhythm of modern society.


●People who wake up at night – sleep late. Or go to bed early the next day (Let’s call them night people.) These people feel full of energy late at night. Causing a lot of trouble adapting if working in the daytime, because around 23 o’clock is the time when the body’s switch opens. When he was enjoying Youtube, games, Netflix, online mahjong, cartoons, etc., and when he realized it, it was 2:30 a.m. When he realized that it was very late, he hurriedly went to bed. sometimes falling asleep until the last minute in the morning and rushed out of the house without having breakfast May be enough to buy coffee at a convenience store along the way. and went to work at 9 o’clock in the morning with difficulty

This type of person is suitable for occupations that start in the evening or night shift. In ancient times, nocturnal men were tasked with watching over the village. Or be a night typist who plays an important role in protecting the village from nighttime attacks. But in modern society, he is seen as a sloppy sleeper. It’s a very sad truth.

It is said that it is very difficult and pathetic for night people to work in a JTC-style company.


JTC (→Japanese Traditional Company) is a Japanese Internet slang term for “Traditional Big and Old Japanese Company”, referring to traditional large Japanese companies. It is often used to ridicule and substitute when referring to an employer or business partner as such a company. Everyone involved with Japanese companies knows that JTC tends to be the hope of young people. Currently expected to be regarding 55 years old, still working to support the peak at 70 years old → because the number of real young people in their early 20s is very small. So every company will compete with each other. And now young people are really young. It is still popular to change the work together to play. They will leave in less than a year or two and won’t stay at the same company forever like before.


Almost every morning the president of a JTC-style company sends an email to employees at 6am, and for some reason. The president diligently starts cleaning the company at 7 am, so all employees must get up early. hurry to work come follow the president Try asking a friend who works in a Japanese company. Therefore, if a night person has to work at a JTC company, it will be really difficult in his life. It’s not because he’s lazy, lacks motivation, or a disability.

During this time, if you have traveled to Japan, try to visit various neighborhoods. Look at that. Did your friends enjoy your trip? Do you like Tokyo? A big city full of history and neighborhoods. with unique characteristics There is a variety of scents. In addition, people in that area There are different expressions, so we can enjoy that difference no matter how many times we visit. Let’s talk today. See you next week. Hello.
