Is Japan better than South Korea?

Question

Why or why not?

Answer 1

JAPAN HAS BETTER FOOD,BETTER SIGHTSEEING,BETTER CULTURE, BETTER HOTELS,BETTER ANYTHING YOU CAN MENTION

Answer 2

Frankly, I don't think this question is appropriate.

What do you want people to say against Japan or South Korea?
Besides, Japan-ROK relations are extremely sensitive due to their historical background. You need to be aware of the fact that many Japanese and Koreans are here.

If you ask "what are the major differences between the two countries?," for example, then, many people would be glad to answer without hesitation.

There should be a "common sense" when you ask sensitive questions. YES, "Which nation is better?" is a very sensitive question even if you are not sensitive enough.

I don't know about your nationality, but do you ask "Is UK better than France?" or "Is Mexico better than the US?" How does that sound? Sounds silly, doesn't it?

Answer 3

Japan is cleaner than South Korea. They both have a good economy but I think Japan's economy is a little stronger. South Korea is a cheaper place to live. Japan has better transportation. It is hard to define "better". Both are good countries.

Answer 4

I wanna visit South Korea someday.
Wanna try real local foods and to see Independence hall and 제주도. the island in the south.

But I wonder why ppl says the roads are not very clean. I wanna see the city.
