    "No tips in Japan" is my most respected culture of Japan. I tipped the Imperial Hotel's bell boy once and he said shyly, "No, no. No tipping in Japan." When I asked him why he said proudly in a slow English, *"it is my honor to service".*

    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!

    You can use your phone on trains just not for talking. Messaging, using net, playing games or music (with headphones), or reading is perfectly fine. More accurately the rule is don't make noise on the train. Conversation is fine but keep it low and just be considerate of others around you.

      I am very sad and embarrassing because the Japanese are considered racists. Since Japan is an island country, there has been little involvement with foreign countries since ancient times. 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.

    わたしが思ったことを伝えますね✨
    ~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!
    わからないことは周りが教えてくれますよ✨
    多くの方のご訪問、日本は待ってます☺️

  • @shirewark
    @shirewark 4 года назад +543

    I think Chris has covered the main ones! Here's a few bonus tips for any extra diligent students :)
    *13.* _Driving Part 1_
    If you've hired a car or a motorbike in Japan and you're going to be doing some driving; your eyes are not fooling you, the speed limit sign really did say 50kph but an 85 year old man just zoomed past you in a tiny truck going 80kph!!! Speed limits are often broken in Japan by locals who know the areas back-to-front, and often know where all the fixed speed cameras are. Most Japanese cars these days also come equipped with a "Navi" which is a typical in-car navigation system that includes warnings of well known speed cameras, or police-patrol spots. This results in some pretty "elastic" speed limits... However, don't even DARE take advantage of this if you're a foreigner on an international driving permit... as more than 90% of offenses alleged in Japanese courts end up in prosecution !!! (not worth the risk).
    *14.* _Driving Part 2_
    Be sure to bring some extra patience if you're going through cities and dense residential areas! Traffic Lights are not as well coordinated as other countries, so you might get quite triggered for hitting red light after red light after red light. Stay calm, and keep on driving.
    *15.* _Far Queue_
    Don't cut queues! Lines can grow very long at Train Stations at peak hour. Cutting queues might be fair game in other parts of the world, but in Japan you'll enjoy death stares for the rest of the trip!
    *16.* _Escalating confusion_
    Depending on which region of Japan you're in, you should either keep to the left, or keep right (to let others in more of a hurry, pass) when going up escalators, climbing stairs etc. Generally most of Japan sticks to the left e.g. in the greater Tokyo area (also known as the Kantō region), but if you're in Osaka, Kyoto, Kobe or Nara for example (Kansai region), you might notice people sticking to the right. As for most things in Japanese society, don't question it.. just blend in ;)
    *17.* _Time is money_
    If you're about to pay for something by cash and it's busy (e.g. the supermarket), do your best to prepare the correct change for the cashier before you get there! In Japan, everyone comes prepared.It's not only a practice of courtesy, but often feels like it's treated as a measurement of intelligence too. Advice for travellers is simply to use your Suica/Pasmo (public transport card) as much as possible. Most convenience stores and many supermarkets have tap & pay machines for these cards.
    *18.* _Bow Wow Wow Yippie Yo Yippie Yay_
    Receiving bows from someone for the first time can be a nerve-racking and puzzling experience for a foreigner on their first trip. Pro Tip! Don't freak out and start bobbing your head back and forth like you're in a moshpit, as this might also trigger the Japanese person to feel obliged to keep bowing longer to match yours, creating a wonderfully awkward situation! Instead, if you receive a bow from someone my advice is simply to show courtesy. Smile and say "thankyou" if you haven't already acuqired some basic travel Japanese. Or if you're feeling courageous, you can bow back! Bowing etiquette is more complicated if you're a local, so advice for travellers who want to try to bow back would be to keep it simple. Don't worry about how high/low it is, putting arms at your side, or keeping/avoiding eye contact etc. Just commit to bowing in a way that feels natural, and the effort will be noticed and appreciated.
    Japan's a stunningly beautiful place and is still rich in culture to this day. I don't know anyone who's returned from a Japan holiday without having creatied wonderful long-lasting memories.
    All the best for your future travels !! ^_^/ Let's hope the world can defeat this COVID thing soon.

      When I was stationed there, I knew some folks who got the speeding ticket at the toll booth when they got to the exit WAY too fast from when/where they got on. You'll always see people speeding on the tollways, but they will always use a rest area along the way to increase the elapsed time to offset the speeding. That said, you have to be speeding pretty excessively to trip the time limit.

      We actually do, just that they are in Japanese instead of English and you can choose to display it or not.

And Japanese is a complex language; things can get confusing from just audio alone so I enjoy having the subtitles.

It's the worst terrorist attack in Japanese history and is the reason why public trash cans are nearly nonexistent in Japan.

    Another thing not to do in Japan is: Don't hand cash/money to the cashiers. Usually, there is a little saucer/small "plate" that is used for placing cash/money. The cashiers will take that money you pulled up and placed it in that saucer/"plate". One of the unique ways to pay something with cash.

    As someone who also lives in Japan I feel like I need to say that a lot of these are spot on. I agree wholeheartedly. However, there are some things that depend on the area you're in or depend on certain situations. I live outside of Tokyo and in my neighborhood people don't give much of a care about crossing the street whenever an opportunity presents itself. Some will even wander through stopped traffic to get to the other side quickly. Maybe there's something in the water but I was also taught to obey the traffic signs and not cross until an appropriate time, but when I watched Japanese citizens of all ages openly crossing in front of a koban, I was shocked.
    The other one that came to mind was a conversation I had with an older Japanese friend of mine. He is a doctor in Osaka and we discussed tipping over Christmas dinner. He had been kind enough to take me to a very fancy French restaurant and mentioned to me that while tipping isn't really a thing in Japan, its not always out of the question. He said that the owner of the restaurant knew him and he had been coming to the restaurant for over 20 years. He told me that on special occasions (such as a holiday) he would tip the owner a bit extra because he was a friend and genuinely appreciated the excellent service. I know that's a bit different than when regular tipping is, but I just thought I should mention it.
    I don't want to take away from the video because I think its very informative and helpful. People should be aware of whats respectful when they visit a foreign country and I appreciate this video immensely. It presents the do's and don'ts of Japan in an entertaining yet educational manner. I just wanted to add my two cents. Keep up the good work!

    In Japan, there’s an unspoken rule to “take your trash home with you”. Some places do tell you directly to do so, but usually they don’t. This is probably the reason for the lack of bins and litter. So if you’re ever in Japan and can’t find a bin, don’t look all over for one, put it in your bag or pocket and take it with you.
    A tip is to always have an empty plastic bag with you for trash. I’ve always done this when going on even a day trip where there’s a chance that I won’t have access to a bin. It’s really a life saver. There’s been times when I’m out with my friends and they don’t have a place to put their trash so I offer to carry it in my plastic bag to which they are always ever so grateful. So, do this and you’ll pretty much be a hero.

      I am sorry to tell you but the thing with there not being any bins is stupid. Apart of that everything seems okay. Every country in this world has bins. I can't walk up with a shit ton of trash in my bag cause they don't have any bins. If you want to keep the streets clean you can just make the punishments very harsh for it like other countries do and it's fine, Japan is not the only "clean" country in the world.
