Foreigners are often surprised and curious about the common sight of Japanese people sleeping in public places. Below are some typical reactions from international travelers to Japan.

Tradition and Culture
  1. “I was shocked at how comfortable Japanese people seem sleeping on trains or in cafes. It’s like they trust their surroundings completely!”
  2. “I find it amazing that people can take short naps anywhere in Japan, even on a crowded subway. In my country, it would be considered strange or unsafe.”
  3. “In Japan, sleeping in public doesn’t seem to carry the same stigma it does back home. People nap at work or in public, and no one seems to mind!”
  4. “It’s surprising how common it is to see businessmen in suits taking naps on benches or during their commute. It’s so different from my culture where sleeping in public is seen as lazy.”
  5. “I think it’s kind of charming that people can sleep anywhere in Japan. It shows how hard-working people are, that they’re tired but still pushing through!”
  6. “I felt strange seeing people sleep in the middle of busy places like stations, but it shows how safe Japan feels compared to other countries.”

Many travelers see it as a cultural difference reflecting the trust, safety, and work ethic in Japan, where napping—known as “inemuri” (居眠り)—is often accepted as a sign of dedication rather than laziness.
