Reading the title generates imagery of a city in Japan being overrun by foreigners.

The actual content is about a self-proclaimed 'Asia's cleanest village' in India, banning Sunday visits from other domestic Indians.

Probably wouldn't be a popular story if this was revealed in the title.

On the contrary, my first thought upon reading the title was "I hope it's not just Japan again". No disrespect to Japan, but articles about Japanese tidiness are a dime a dozen.

The article is on the BBC site, so Asia means India/Pakistan/Bangladesh/etc.

Japan is Japan.

The new editorialised title is an improvement, given that most of HN's readership is probably not in the UK, especially not at time of writing: 0130 BST on a Tuesday.
