Strange culture, why do Japanese use mobile phones to communicate by email instead of texting?

Because e-mail has more content to use than short messages and is easier to store than short messages, Japanese prefer to communicate by e-mail rather than sending short messages. Of course, this should also be foreign culture. In fact, some cultures are beyond many people's understanding, but this is the case in their country. Their people are used to this cultural influence, so it is still difficult to make changes. Just as China people are used to eating with chopsticks, Westerners are used to using knives and forks, which is actually a cultural influence. It is impossible to say which one is the best. There is no absolute standard.

As far as the present situation in our country is concerned, most people communicate with each other by chat software, and few people use email, because our chat software is actually very powerful and can meet our daily needs of sending information, which is not worse than email, but unlike Japan, they prefer to communicate by email rather than SMS.

In fact, for e-mail, in addition to editing text content, you can actually use functions such as pictures, which can't be realized by short messages, so the function of short messages is not as powerful as e-mail, so Japanese prefer to communicate through e-mail, which is easier for people to understand. Secondly, e-mail is relatively easy to save. In general, if no one actively deletes the email, it can be stored in the account at any time. No matter where you are, as long as your account can log in, you can get the content of email at any time, but SMS is not good. If you want to save it, you need to actively save it. If you don't save it actively, the content of the short message will disappear, which is not conducive to future search.

Therefore, it is precisely because e-mail has more obvious advantages than SMS that Japanese people use mobile phones to send e-mails instead of SMS to communicate.
