15 Things Japan Has That Korea Doesn’t

Different countries have unique resources, cultures, and lifestyles. For instance, Japan and Korea greatly differ. Let’s explore these distinctions. A forum user asked, "What does Japan have that Korea doesn't?". Here are the top responses.

OCEANS

“Ocean on all sides.”

NATURAL DISASTERS

“My geography might be incorrect, but Korea doesn’t have as many natural disasters as Japan”

WRESTLING ORGANIZATIONS

“Major professional wrestling organizations.”

GOOGLE MAPS

“Google Maps. Google partnered with SK to popularize Google Maps in the Korean market but failed.”

ANIME AND VIDEO GAMES

“Japan has cornered the market with anime and video games, whereas Korea has claimed music and television.”

MONGOLIA INVASION

“‘A chance not to be invaded by Mongolia.”

VENDING MACHINES

“Lots of vending machines.”

MEN APPROACHING WOMEN FOR DRINKS

Toured Seoul, no man approached me. Don't understand it. In Japan, men often invite women for drinks, tea, dinner or hotels.

GEOGRAPHICALLY DECENT LOCATION

South Korea impressively thrives despite limited resources and farmland. It's due to politics funding enterprises for economic growth. Few corporations run their country.

GOOD CARS

“Cars that go half a million kilometers before needing major repairs.”

THE BEST RAMEN

"Japan's ramen, particularly slow-cooked tonkotsu, is heavenly; artisanal corner shops with secret recipes attract massive lunchtime queues. Korea's marinated, ultra-crispy fried chicken surpasses anything in the US."

INDIVIDUALITY

"I lived in Korea for six years and found Japan to have more personal style and individuality, without the pressure to conform to seasonal trends like in Korea. Despite never living in Japan, my visits showed me a fearless, original fashion sense unlike Korea. Just my $0.02."

ACCESS TO PUBLIC RESTROOMS

"Japan has a bathroom in every convenience store, unlike Korea's smelly, hidden ones not in stores. Both lack public trash cans. Carry your rubbish."<

UNIQUE CULTURES AND HERITAGE

"Japan's unique culture, traditions, and landmarks like Mount Fuji distinguish it from Korea, as does its island geography."

THE LARGEST GDP (GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT)

“Japan has the third largest GDP in the world, and South Korea is like #12, so they have a lot of things Korea doesn’t.”
