    I am Japanese. If you think about it objectively, it may seem cramped with all the rules, but there are many disasters in this country, so rules, cooperation, and consideration for others are more important than anything else to avoid panic in an emergency situation.
    However, not all Japanese are like that, so don't be defensive or nervous!

    Regarding wearing shoes indoors, I've read that in Japanese homes, there's a separate set of slippers to wear in the bathroom, which makes so much sense. That's one practice I've adopted. I have my regular house slippers, then a set of rubber slippers for the bathroom.

      I live in Japan, and have found that some non-Japanese people living here follow the rule of not wearing footwear inside but don't grasp the concept behind it.
      For example, on more than one occasion, I have seen people walk barefoot between each other's studio apartments. The reason people remove footwear is to not bring dirt inside, so although you might not wear footwear inside, by walking around outside barefoot, you are essentially negating the purpose of the custom.

    OMG, that whole "maybe" thing! I taught English at a Berlitz school in San Francisco, which had contracts with several Japanese companies to teach their execs English, so most of my students were Japanese. It was very tricky to teach them negation/contradiction because they consider it rude to directly contradict a teacher. So for example, you'd show them a red pen and ask "Is the pen black?" with the expectation that they'd say "No, the pen is not black. The pen is red." But every time they'd answer with something like "Maybe the pen is red."

    • @phoenixw2
      @phoenixw2 2 года назад +80

      The response that always tickled me in such circumstances was the deeply earnest: 'Hmmm... difficult to say'. Reminds me, for a month or two out there (when still a youth) colleagues had an experiment of trying to get a local to say a plain simple no, not possible, or similar. You'd try to conversationally completely box them in to just that one answer, but could never do it. As you say it could be surreal.

    ~食べ歩き~
    ダメという訳ではありません!
    京都では食べ歩き前提で楽しみに来てる方やそういう出店もあるくらいです
    ここら辺は難しいところなので、周りを見ながら判断するのがいいかなというところです
    ただ施設内などで食べ歩きするのはあまりよくは見られませんね
    ~チップを受け取れない理由~
    チップを置かれても、受け取ることが出来ないんです
    お客様からお金を受け取ったことが知られれば会社内で問題視されます
    それぞれのお店でそれは暗黙のルールとしてあります
    ~名刺~
    名刺を受け取って粗末に扱うのは、お相手をそのように扱っているのと同じです
    軽視していると思われてしまうのでケースか、なければ財布に仕舞うのが良いでしょう
    ~握手~
    スキンシップの少ない日本では確かにハグは抵抗があるかと思います
    ですが握手は問題ないのではというのが個人的な意見です
    軽やかなスキンシップをしてくださる海外の方から、こちらもげんきをもらえますので😊
    ですがコロナ期にどこの店舗に入るにも手の消毒などをしていたり、ニュースでコロナの怖さを報道されまくっていたことでウイルスに過敏になってしまっている方もいるだと思います
    (特に関東の方では)
    ですのであと何年かは控えるのがベストかなと思います
    動画の中にあったように、間違えてしまったとしても責め立てる日本人は少ないですし、間違ってしまうのは同じ生活環境に居なかったのですから仕方のないことです
    ですので大前提として、日本に来た際には楽しんでほしい!

      Only if you’re a tourist or foreign worker. Students have to do club activities after school every day, on Saturdays, and even during the summer holidays. Then at work, there’s massive social pressure to stay late after hours, and in many cases go drinking after work. :(

There was a system called "sakoku". In other words, Japanese do not know foreigners well and are therefore afraid. However, international exchange has become popular recently, and some people, mainly young people, have friends who cross countries. I want to make this a country where foreigners can travel with peace of mind.

      We actually do, just that they are in Japanese instead of English and you can choose to display it or not. Originally meant for people hard of hearing but many like to display them out of habit (eg. background noise making it hard to make out what's being said). And Japanese is a complex language; things can get confusing from just audio alone so I enjoy having the subtitles.
