The word for the Japanese step counter is literally MANPOKEI which means 10,000 step calculator. Even if you live in urban areas and own a car, it may be used mostly for shopping trips and weekend excursions.

Normal commuting is mostly public transit, which really isn't so bad because their central cities are NOT $#*+holes like ours. In most cases, they are quite pleasant and even fun.

I walk around the pool until I get the 10,000 steps. It is level. My wife says it’s boring but we can’t walk together because I am slow.
