That pans out to about 37,000 people per square mile , though this pales in comparison to the 70,000 or so per square mile in Manhatt an. Area/Space Space and land is pretty much at a premium in Tokyo, and as such there is a lot of attention paid to maximizing the use of small spaces and keeping areas genera lly clean. For example, if you couldn ft afford the space or the plumbing for a wa sh basin next to a bathroom, you could just add a small spigot at the top of the tank that would spew out clean water when you flush, with the leftover water fi lling the toilet bowl tank. Cleanliness The finickiness surrounding cleanliness comes from the fact that homes have tata mi (rice/rush straw) flooring, which can hardly afford your dirt and grime on th e bottom of your shoes (which is why you fll want to take off your shoes when you enter someone fs home, always). This philosophy translates well to the outdoors, w here you fll notice pretty immaculate subway platforms, trains, and pavements. The re aren ft that many garbage bins, however, so the expectation is that you fll take it with you and throw things away at home. Politeness Japanese folks can be polite to a fault, and people apologize for pretty much an y indiscretion, however minor. Case in point: gwe truly apologize for the delay c aused by a man who fell ill at Iidabashi station
