Not sure about bananas, but in general products are individually wrapped due to the high humidity in Japan.

Many parts of the world get humid, yet don’t need to obsessively wrap everything in plastic. Especially when you have modern infrastructure like refrigerated shipping, air conditioning, etc.

It’s not as bad as Japan, but when it comes to produce in supermarkets, the UK shares this “wrap everything in plastic” mentality.
