This country has banks just for kids, and parents cannot enter

Japan has a unique charm that makes people around the world dream of living there.

From spotless streets and polite citizens to a pervasive sense of calm, the country seems almost otherworldly. Recent videos shared online have once again highlighted why Japan stands apart.

One popular Instagram clip, titled “3 Reasons Why Japan is the Best Place to Live,” showcases everyday aspects of life that make Japan so special.

Banks for kids

In Japan, children can have their very own bank accounts—without any parental involvement. These banks are designed to teach kids financial responsibility from an early age. They can deposit money, watch it grow with interest, and learn the basics of managing finances—all important life skills introduced in a playful, hands-on way.

Safety is second nature

Japan’s reputation for safety is well-deserved. Children walk to school alone, and people often leave their phones, wallets, or bags unattended without worry. In the rare event something goes missing, efficient lost-and-found systems ensure items are returned. This level of trust and security shows how deeply safety is woven into daily life.

Polite wild animals

Even Japan’s wildlife seems to follow social etiquette. In Nara, sacred deer roam freely, bowing politely to visitors to ask for treats. This behaviour isn’t accidental—locals have cultivated it over generations, blending tradition, respect and human-animal harmony in a way rarely seen elsewhere.
