The little space in the trains

Japan's train system is amazingly efficient and organized. You can reach almost every corner of the country by train. In Tokyo, the metro and JR lines take you anywhere in the city. But during rush hours (usually in the morning), riding a train can be quite an experience and you might go through some priceless moments like the two below.



The little kids

Japan's birth rate is incredibly low today and population growth rate is close to zero. In 2007 birth rate has dropped to lower than 9%, alarming Japanese government and society.

In this scenario, it is not easy to spot little kids on the streets as we see in other countries.
Japanese small kids are rare, but oh those little things are cute.


Japan and its little things


I love Japan. Specially Tokyo.
Why?
Oh man, the little things...
