First thing I noticed after leaving the train from the airport to Shinjuku is just how crazy clean everything was. It was certainly impressive and most of the city I visited followed suit. I spent time actively looking for trash with little success, quite different than every other city I've been to in the world. Even unpopulated areas (wilderness, forests, remote parks) you wouldn't expect to see much trash always seem to have trash.

At night time I did see quite a bit of beer cans/bottles around, however, either people or cleanup crews seemed to group them together to make cleanup easier.

If this is due to cleanup operations, I feel other cities around the world should consider such logistics because it makes travel there one of the most pleasant experiences I've had.
