We were surprised to see the volunteerism of Save Takata organization of Japan which did commendable work to bring the prefecture to full life once again. I deeply observed dedication, positivity, helpfulness and value of time among the Japanese. I also felt exactness of time utilized by All Nippon Airlines (ANA) and Bullet Train of Japan."
