The Number of Convenience Stores, Temple and Shrine

Feb 13, 2016 15:06
There are about 55 thousands convenience stores in Japan.

This means that there is a convenience store for every 2,300 people.

On the other hand, there are about 77 thousands temples and about 81 thousands shrines in Japan.

I thought there are a lot of convenience stores in many places, but I was surprised that there are more temples and shrines.

Somehow there has been an increase in the number of temples and shrines.

When you go to Japan for sightseeing, I recommend you to visit traditional and historic temples and shrines.

By the way, there are about 69 thousands dental clinics in Japan.

The number is also more than the number of convenience stores.
コンビニの数、寺の数、神社の数

日本には約55,000のコンビニが存在します。

約2300人につき1つのコンビニがあることになります。

一方、日本にはお寺が約77,000、神社が約81,000もあるそうです。

いたるところにコンビニがあると思っていましたが、それよりもお寺や神社のほうが多かったことに驚きました。

どういうわけか、お寺や神社は年々増え続けているようです。

日本を観光する際は、ぜひ伝統的なお寺や神社を訪れることをおすすめします。

ちなみに、日本にある歯科医院の数は約69,000で、これもコンビニより多いです。

I forgot to delete "is", my apologies.

    　the word ''thousand'' is not used in plural form if there is a number (more than 1) before it. But you may say ''thousands of people'.

I'm surprised that there are more shrines and temples too! When I went to Japan it was always convenient to run into a convenience store.

Thank you very much for your corrections!
Actually, the number of convenience stores are proportional to the population, so there are a lot of convenience stores especially in Tokyo.
