Some Japanese Pokemon GO Players Have Bad Manners 

The stereotype is that Japan is clean. That Japanese people are clean. Many people are, but certainly not all, including some of the country’s Pokemon GO players.

From a young age, Japanese people are taught to pick up after themselves. Kids in other countries are taught that as well, of course, but in Japan the point is driven home because it’s students who clean their classrooms and, yes, even their toilets.

Leaving rubbish anywhere is bad manners. Japan is no exception, but Japanese Twitter users have been calling out Pokemon GO players for their “terrible manners”, seeming to take particular offence to the mess and calling it “embarrassing”.

One Twitter user asked, “Is this what Japanese morals are like?” Others say that if people don’t clean up after themselves, locations will ban Pokemon GO because they don’t want to deal with the rubbish.

If only these Pokemon GO players were more like Japanese soccer fans!

People, however, aren’t just taking photos and complaining, but some are picking up the rubbish — either theirs or the rubbish of others.

A few children, it seems, even collected rubbish at Setagaya Park in Tokyo:
