Where are trash cans in Tokyo!?
Hello, travelers. This is Kumi . Picturesque Japan Blog shows you how to deal with your trash in Tokyo. All the visitors to Japan say "Wow! Japan is clean!!!" Oh, yes. Japanese people are quite meticulous about cleaning. You'll see some devoted cleaners here and there. Then, the visitors often ask me this question. "Where are trash cans!?" Umm... That's a good question. It's actually quite difficult to find trash cans in Tokyo (probably in other cities, too). At stations? -- Umm... probably not. You may find some vending machines and some recycle bins for plastic bottles and cans, but not for other trash like a paper cups etc. Some stations may have trash cans, but you can't always expect that. On the streets? -- Umm... rarely. I happened to have found these on Omotesando street near Omotesando station, but we don't usually see trash cans on the streets. You probably see recycling bins next to vending machines...
