I was pretty confused about what to do at one point. I bought a water from a 7/11 while walking around in Tokyo and didn’t know what to do until an old lady it a subway market (also kind of wild) took it, washed it, and put it in her backpack when I gestured for the trash.
You didn’t. Japan doesn’t have public trash cans.

I always had a backpack with me so I kept trash in that and put it in hotel bin when I went back to hotel.
Smart. I stopped there at the end of the trip, and I figured Japan would be the least of my worries, so I was under prepared for this issue.
