your boyfriend story took probably place in China. There you have to leave food on your plate to signal that you are full - if you don't, they bring out more because they think you are still hungry. In Japan on the other hand it is rude to leave food on your plate because japanese are very much against wasting food - they always ensure the highest quality so it would be a total waste to put your leftovers in the trash - so don't have leftovers is the most polite solution. Also, they think it wasn't to your liking if you leave food. I personally prefer this over the China traditon because I too don't like wasting precious food. This topic is also the reason why the Logan Paul incident was such a big deal in Japan - he took a fresh octopus and threw it onto cars and stuff - wasting it and totally disrespecting the animal/food.
4 means death in japanese (shi) - japanese have different readings for these numbers (On-yomi und Kun-yomi FYI) and one of the is "death".
Also : fruit vinegar mixed into ice cream is glorious- try it :)
麺をすする時大きな音を出すとシェフが喜ぶというのは完全な嘘です。
日本にはそんな風習はありません。
日本で麺をすすって多少の音は誰も気にしませんが
極端に大きな音を出しすぎると日本人も不快に感じます。
Japan is really an introvert paradise
それなすぎる
たぶん、日本に来た外国人が真似して啜ったのを褒めたのが最初なんじゃないかな
それで誤解されてさらに話に尾ヒレついて広まったんかなと・・・
@@user-jq4qz7zh3d 確かにそれはあるかもしれませんね。「外国人なのに日本の食べ方を知ってるんだね！」という感じで喜ぶ姿は容易に想像できます。
西洋と違ってマナー違反ではないけど、特に意識してあえてやることでもない。
Oh thank you for clarifying this ❤
アイスクリームにマヨネーズ？
それも嘘です。そんなことする人見た事ありません。
マヨラーで個人的にやる人はいるかもしれないし、全国どこかにそういう商品が存在はするかもしれないけど、間違いなく一般的ではないですね。
一応、キューピーの公式で濃厚マヨアイスのレシピはありますが、さすがに一般的ではないですよね。
Many of these “things that are normal in Japan” or “things that only exist in Japan” videos are based on shitposts on social media.
If you look at western social media, there are full of BS and stereotypes about Japan.
Oh thank you for confirming ❤❤
@@ALLKASDLLS-mg4lu about any asian country really but yeah i agree
The reason the number 4 is considered unlucky in Japanese culture is because its kanji can be both read as "yon", which is the term they normally use, or "shi". As "shi can ALSO be read as "death", it's seen as an eerie or unlucky number. Hotels and hospitals tend to avoid marking fourth floors in any way.
As you said the taboo comes from kanji and is more of a Chinese thing and is common in countries that have historically been under Chinese cultural influence.
@@ariccy In short, it is not Only Japan.
Oh thank you for explaining! ❤
It’s not rude at all if you don’t slurp noodles. Slurping is said to help enhance the aroma and make ramen or soba more enjoyable, similar to swirling wine in your mouth during a tasting. Also, many people avoid slurping because it can cause splattering. As for mayonnaise, it's almost unheard of to put it on desserts unless someone has a very unusual taste.
あなたが日本に来てくれる日を楽しみにしています❤この動画の日本紹介はほとんど間違っています。
あなたは日本を気に入ってくれると思います！
I cannot wait to come to Japan! Hopefully next year ❤
This original video is mostly wrong about Japan The video is probably made by someone who has never been to Japan and the background music is Chinese style
And uses the most watchmojo voice
I'm Japanease.yes exactly
i don't think it's chinese either. if it's traditional chinese, it would sound like this: ruclips.net/video/E0o78yPHlbo/видео.html
Oh dear, that is a shame, I'll have to react to one in the future that is more accurate ❤

I don't understand English so I can't fully understand the content of the video I'm watching, but I think a lot of the content of this video is incorrect.
In Japan, students clean their own classrooms and hallways.
This is not just to learn how to clean
This is to help children learn about their responsibilities and obligations for maintaining the community.
As fun as these kinds of videos are to watch, unfortunately most of the information is either flat-out wrong or deeply misleading.
I'm Japanese and never heard of someone using mayonnaise for ice-cream and pancakes.
And people think it's hot when the customers aren't slurping.
And slurping is not the way of showing appreciation.
We think It's just the best way to eat noodles.
By the way we don't slurp pasta.
The reson why 4 is unlucky word is that the pronunciation of 4 ＝し(shi)=死death(shi).
おそらくなのですが、お好み焼きのことをジャパニーズパンケーキと言っている動画を見たことがあるので、パンケーキにマヨネーズはお好み焼きのことではないかな。
@@harugmori なるほどお好み焼きですか！
確かにパンケーキみたい
The background music sounds Chinese. The cultures and people of Japan, China, and Korea are completely different. Most of these movies are incorrect.
As for recommendations, I would say anything from "Abroad in Japan." An english guy who moved to Japan, has a lot of content similar to this, showing off things unique to various areas of Japan, as well as general exploration and explanation of Japanese culture.
Yeah, i also recommend abroad in Japan. Chris has a lot of experience in japan, him and Pete. If you want a more weeb experience, watch some episodes of the trash taste podcast.
Ah yes Sir Affable, mister Best seller the one the only Chris Broad.
Oh thank you! ❤
Japanese traffic lights also follow international standards and are the same green as those in other countries. However, within these standards, they tend to have a bluish tint. This is said to be to make it easier for people with color vision deficiencies to distinguish, not because Japanese people refer to the green signal as blue.
The video must have been created only by looking on the Internet and is mostly just wrong.
Channels like Bright Side are full of "XXX curiosities about YYY", and many of them are urban legends or simply not true at all 😁
Mayo on Ice cream?! no one does that in Japan. maybe people were messing with him??? lol
I'm Japanese but I don't like to slurp or hear people slurp noodles. Slurping Ramen might be more common in Japan than doing so for pasta and don't ask me why. LOL If you go to Japan, don't be pressured to slurp noodles. Not everyone does that.
Only in Japan の動画の制作者は日本に来たことがあるのだろうか。実情に合っていないものが多い。日本人に聞けばすぐに否定することでしょう。日本のことは日本人に聞け！
Are you planning to come to Japan?
I would be happy if you came to Japan.
この方大好きだからいつか日本来てほしい🙏
Another thing exclusive to Japan is that they don't like tattoos and if you go there certain facilities like restaurants or hot springs can refuse you entry unless you cover them up with bandages. Apparently the reason is something to do with the Yakuza as they associate tattoos with them
As you said, in Japan, tattoos are mainly inked by yakuza and anti-social forces, and one of the reasons for this is that tattoos originally were tattoos given to criminals.
It is only in recent years that young people have started getting tattoos as a fashion item, so I think it will take quite a while for them to become accepted in Japan.
I think something a little more interesting unless it has changed in recent years is the only people in Japan who can legally give tattoos are doctors.
I am Japanese, more than a half of these information are not truth... if they are truth, very very rare cases unfortunately.... But please come to Japan someday.. it's fantastic place to visit!!❣
9 months in Japan, working at the restaurant in an onsen and never saw any1 put a mayonnaise on the icecream. They like to put icecream in the melon fanta tho' which is surprisingly good btw.
About the traffic lights. There are green as well, sometimes there are blue and sometimes green. Which is even weirder than using only blue.
I'm a Japanese living in Japan.
I've never seen mayonnaise put on ice cream!!😮
In order to highlight local ingredients, Japanese sometimes turn various foods into ice cream.
Japanese people hate the number 4 because they pronounce it as "shi".
This sound is pronounced the same as the Japanese word for "death."
The same goes for the number 9, which when pronounced as "ku'' has the same sound as the Japanese word for "suffering''.
Don't believe the wrong information 😮💨
間違った情報を信じないでください😮💨
It was an interesting video.
It is allowed to slurp noodles in Japan, but please do so quietly.
It is an old video of staff pushing people on the train. It is dangerous, so now station staff call out to people when it is crowded so that they do not forcefully board the train.
The toilet is the type that automatically flushes when you stand up.
There are several types of toilets, such as toilets that flush when you hold your hand over a sensor, which is interesting！
Thank you for your entertaining videos!👍
As a Japanese person living in Japan, I want to tell you that slurping noodles is technically bad manners in Japan.
However, it was originally a food for workers, and slurping is "accepted" to enjoy the aroma of soba.
At the very least, there is no truth to the idea that "not slurping noodles is disrespectful to the chef" or that "the louder the sound, the better"!😅 (I wonder why such a rumor spread so far.)
There is a custom of slurping when eating noodles. By "slurping" you use not only your sense of taste but also your sense of smell and touch to make the noodles taste even more delicious. Slurping also allows you to taste the soup along with the noodles🍜
14:14 Yes! In fact it's pretty well known.
The number 4 is written as 四, which is read either as "yon" or "shi" (both ways mean "four" in japanese). But the word for "death", 死, is also read as "shi".
So basically, because both "four" and "death" in japanese sound the same, "shi", the number 4 is considered bad luck.
Might as well add, people say "shi" when counting to 4 all the time. There's no hard rule against saying "shi" or anything 😉
14:20 that's because one of the names for the number 4 is "SHI" (as in 1-2-3-4-5 => ICHI-NI-SAN-SHI-GO), and "SHI" also means "DEATH". It is the same in China, I believe. So that's why anything 4-wise is not very appreciated by the japanese, specially the most superstitious ones. That's why that Black Babymetal song "4 no Uta" has its name: the lyrics play around with the sound of SHI or YON (another name for the number 4), stating that it doesn't necessarily means "DEATH" and it is part of other good stuff
This is more of a Chinese cultural thing which also exists in Korea and many Southeast Asia countries. Definitely not something that can be attributed specifically to Japan.
Actually one person from each class is assigned cleaning duties for a week. They can clean the school in about an hour. Saves on janitorial staff that’s for sure. Office buildings not so much as people work overtime a lot and cleaning has to be assigned to a cleaning company. These cleaning companies crews are assigned at least 2 buildings a night so they don’t dilly dally. The president or ceo hires the cleaning company by their name or reputation.
1人？全員でやるよ。
On the subject of finishing food, in Chinese culture, finishing food means that the host did not serve enough food for everyone. I think this might mostly be in China, because where I come from, we do finish our food. One of my ex-colleague went to China for a wedding banquet, and he was surprised by how everyone refused to touch the last item on the shared dishes. I think it might be similar to what you described.
Oh perhaps! ❤
the umbrella thing is just cause everybody buys and uses the cheap similar ones and always mistakes each others so pasting anything such as the "curse" marks them unique and ppl dont really go for them i guess
Eugh. Just by the pronunciation of the Japanese words, you can know it was made by someone who is not really a resident. Or one of the weird residents who refuses to learn the local language.
People pushers do exist, but not as commonly as people think. It is mostly just certain stations at certain times, the station attendants need to give the passengers a hand (or two!) to be able to close the doors. It is not in order to squeeze in as many people into the train as possible; the passengers do that all by themselves. It is also after other measures are done. There are double or triple queues in front of the train doors (and the queues are very orderly!); when a train stops, after the people exit the train, the current queue files in, then the next queue moves over to the first spot, to wait for the next train. When you come to the platform, you can freely choose which queue you will stand in - if you are in a hurry, you might queue up in the current queue, and risk being one of the people that has to be pressed in at the door; if you are not, you might queue up in a queue for the next train, so you can get further into the train, and not be subjected to the door crunch.
Umbrella curses are not really a thing. But marking your umbrella is. The most common kind of umbrella, a plastic transparent one, is sold at convenience stores, and there's zillions of them. Speaking of umbrella stands, some of them have locks, but many do not - if you enter e.g. a convenience store, it's just a rack where you stick your umbrella in, and it will likely be among 10 other identical plastic transparent ones. Some people forget their umbrellas in them, some people mistakenly take someone else's, some (bad) people think that they are effectively communal so they can just take one. Making your umbrella not look like almost every other umbrella helps. Or, you can buy a nicer, non-generic one.
Vending machines with drinks are everywhere. Vending machines with live lobsters are _not_ everywhere.
Tokyo subways shut down every night between roughly 1am and 5am. For some people it is inconvenient, of course; at night, for most part, you are either taking a cab, cycling, or walking. But that means the stations and the tracks can get in regular maintenance and cleaning. And IIRC the trains themselves are given a thorough cleaning fortnightly. They just don't break down that much, since they are maintained quite attentively. It is not to say the delays don't happen, but the reason is quite sad actually - most of the delays are because of people jumping in front of them. This is why many stations now are building security fences on the platforms.
Yeah, as many said already, the slurping thing is nonsense. Slurping noodles is said to enhance the flavour (of soba noodles, in particular), and cool down the broth; has nothing to do with respecting the chef. It is perfectly fine not to slurp; it is just not such a big deal if you do. It _might_ well mean the broth is cold, but only because one of the major reasons to slurp (having to cool down the hot broth) is now gone.
Leaving food is pretty impolite, and rice especially; you will often see people carefully picking up every single grain. If you couldn't eat much rice it would have been more polite to get a smaller portion in the first place. However, in a shared food setting - e.g. someone brings out cookies - the last cookie takes forever to be taken, as no-one wants to be seen as greedy. Or, e.g. in an izakaya, the last slice of fish in a carpaccio or sashimi plate will quite often remain there lonely for quite a while before it is finally eaten (if it ever is).
They did show you the napkin. They have a picture of lips/chin (lower face) on them. Not that I have seen them except on video, I think?
I have never seen this sink -> toilet tank combination. Dunno, maybe it does exist. But a toilet tank with a built-in sink _on top of it_ is quite common.
Yeah, mayo is way too ubiquitous, but... ice-cream?!? Never seen it.
The canned food restaurant chain is called mr. kanso. It's a niche gimmick. A cool one, but still, niche; I don't know if I would call it a popular chain. E.g. Saizeriya has like 20+ _times_ the number of locations in the country that mr. kanso has.
The "heating the seat" buttons are _not_ for heating the seat, but for controlling the strength of the water stream. And the "playing music" button does not play music. Usually there is a function to play something, but it is the noise of the water trickling; it is used to mask the actual noise of.. the other kind of water trickling, because some people can be self-conscious. Yet another proof that the author has no idea what they are talking about.
Same as with mayo; I am not claiming ice-creams with weird flavours don't exist, but "it won't be a problem findind" one such is... balderdash. I remember once mistakenly buying a soda (ramune) which I thought would be a lemonade but it turned out to have a garlic-kimchi flavour; i only saw it that one time, never again (and good riddance, it was one of the foulest things I have ever tasted). When I asked my friends, they said it is probably sold as a party gimmick, for penalty games :D But I digress - just the fact that it exists does not mean it is common. Charcoal is cool though.
#8 I've seen that same video of that girl. She is an english teatcher living in Japan 😁
The fact about the sink above the toilet, the water comes out of the sink when you flush the toilet, ready for you to wash your hands and stored until the next flush (I've used them before when I studied and did a home-stay in Japan) 🙂
The slurping thing is a myth, or at least exaggerated. It's not offensive NOT to slurp, more like slurping is tolerated as it helps you enjoy the noodles how ever you want and it does help cool the soup as you go. I've also heard that bit where if you finish up your food, more is given to you. What cycle. 😂
That is weird that he didn't explain why 4 is avoided, it's so simple.
One of the pronounciations of 4 is "shi", which also means "death". Though the kanji are different, it's enough to avoid I guess. Maybe there are more reasons, but that's the one I know at least.
Lots of similar things like that, like "kami" meaning "god", "paper", and "hair". Many many puns in anime about that .. sadly they'll almost always fly by you in subtitles.
After watching anime for so long I do understand most dialogue that's not too complicated, which is nice to not miss language-specific puns.
some of these exist in a lot of asian countries like the number 4 in chinese is the same pronunciation as death
@7:36, the train I was on got delayed for a little over 1 minute and we were given a slip from the train company that we could show our bosses to explain why we are late.
There was also a newspaper report where the JR train issued a formal apology for their training leaving the station 20 seconds early.
@10:09, In my culture (I’m Southeast Asian), when you're a guest, it’s the host’s duty to always offer food. As a guest, it’s considered polite to eat everything on your plate, as leaving food behind can be seen as rude. So, for an English guest visiting a Southeast Asian home, pacing yourself is key. Usually, once your plate is empty, the host will offer you more food, and it’s polite to accept at least a little, unless you're genuinely too full. In that case, it’s best to eat slowly and match the pace of everyone else. If you’re offered more a second time and you’re truly full, you can politely decline, and especially if others are finishing up, they’ll usually accept this. Lastly, before you leave, you’ll almost always be offered some leftovers to take home, and accepting them is considered a polite gesture.
It's been said, but for Algorithm sake, I'll say it again- 4 is "unlucky" because it can be said "yo," "yon," or "Shin." Shi -ne means "to die," so generally speaking, it's avoided.
As a Japanese, I felt that this video contained a lot of correct information, but at the same time, it also contained a lot of lies, limited information, and exaggerations. I think dining etiquette is quite different from the West. Slurping noodles is not bad manners, but it is not obligatory, and it is not true that chefs will be pleased to see it. Of course, leaving food on your plate is not good. There are certainly many unique ways of eating and seasonings in Japan, but they are not common everywhere. It is true that in any school, serving lunch and cleaning the classroom are children's jobs and are part of their education.
I am very happy that people from overseas are interested in Japan. I am happy that they are trying to learn about our culture. However, I recommend that you watch videos made by people from overseas with the understanding that they contain not only correct information but also a lot of incorrect information.😉Thanks
Over here in Brazil there are some steakhouses that have a cart with "fake deserts" that pass by among the tables where people have already finished eating the main courses, so a client could see the variety of available deserts and pick one, for later be brought in by a waiter. The first time I saw such cart I almost picked one with my hand directly from it, not knowing they were all fake 😅
Please take these videos with a grain of salt. Though there is truth to all the things listed, some of the context or explanation are highly misleading. For example, the slurping of noodles. That's just the customary way of eating noodles in Japan. There's no inferred "politeness" relative to the slurping just as much as it is to eat pizza or hamburgers with a fork and knife. Would you get some awkward stares? Maybe. But you wouldn't think that they're rude for doing so.
The lack of a 4th floor is very rare, but I don't think it's exclusive to Japan. I'm aware of old buildings in western countries that don't have a 13th floor. The number's different but the superstition behind it is the same.
The train companies issue late certificates to prove that you're not lying when you're late as it is used as a common excuse. Some companies require you to submit one to avoid getting penalized for it. If there are major delays, they naturally make headlines on the news not to apologize, but to notify commuters to plan accordingly with alternate routes and/or leaving early. You would see the same thing in western countries regarding traffic jams and road closures.
While on the subject of trains, the people pushers are a quickly dying breed. Companies don't want their employees touching them because they don't want to get sued for injuries or sexual assault that could come as a result of pushing people onto the train. It was pretty common decades ago but not anymore.
Japanese Mayo Hit different
You should check out the Aboard in Japan channel for more information like his 12 things not to do in Japan video or his more recent video How expensive is it to Travel Japan, 2 weeks on $1000 budget.
Bro try indian railway system you will love your country railway system after that 😂
Yeah sure 😂
you should definitly react to some japanese commercials. Arnold Schwarzenegger was in some fairly crazy ones.
7:57 while it is cool that trains run on time, think of the stress it puts on the employees. In 2005 there was the Amagasaki derailment, where a train was derailed due to the overspeeding by the driver to make up for his 90 second delay as he feared he would be forced again into harsh and humiliating retraining program or even he would be fired. It ended in 107 deaths (including driver) and 562 injuries.
いつもあなたのリアクション動画を楽しくみています。

申し訳ありませんが、笑ってしまいました。
ただ子どもが学校の教室やトイレの掃除をするというのは本当で、
自分の使用したところは、自らきれいにすることを経験することで、
グループで協力して助け合うことの大切さを学び、汚すという行為の抑制にもつながっていると思います。
ですから日本はきれいだと言われるのではないでしょうか。

Absolutely will do ❤
@@GOTGames Thank you for replying !
When you told the story about the girl who had her umbrella stolen, I thought you were about to mention Bae because she just told the story of how she bought an umbrella and it was stolen the same day on her last stream 😅
Also about the number 4, others have explained its reading can be interpreted as death, so guess why Calli says its her favorite number.
I've ridden the worlds shortest escalator!
As everyone else said, the slurping thing is an old myth.
Slurping noodles is due to a few things. Ramen and other noodle soups are very hot. If you want to eat fast, it's normal to slurp. Also, if you're enjoying your food, you'll naturally eat it faster.
If you eat your noodles too slow, they will soak up too much broth and become too mushy, And your soup will get cold.
Some restaurants can give you fresh hot soup to finish your food with if you ask for it, if your soup is cooling off.
I hope you get the chance to go to Japan soon!
The Bright Side in big 2024 is wild 😭🙏
ほぼ嘘ですね😑
The toilet is wrong order. The sink is on the toilet, after you flush, the water re-fill by a tab over the sink, you can wash your hand here. Those used water will re-fill toilet.
I feel like the guy who made this video wasn't exactly doing his due diligence with some of these "facts." Either way, yes there is something more to the 4 thing, 4 in Japanese can be pronounced as Shi, which can be seen as invoking death due to Shi also being how you pronounce death. There is more to it but that's the basic gist of it.
As a resident in the UK, I agree that the train system is absolutely crap. If you really have to travel far from one city to another, it’s much cheaper to take the coach.
The number 4 being a taboo isn’t a unique thing in Japan. Arguably, it’s from the Chinese culture, or at least, a shared origin. The others have stated the reason. The number 4 sounds the same as the word “death”.
15:11 we have this in some schools in germany too
放課後は掃除時間。
学校の先生も一緒に掃除するし、綺麗にすることで次の世代にも綺麗に使ってもらえるし、機械使わず掃除することで汚いところ綺麗しなきゃって思うし。それができない生徒は不良とかルール守れない悪い生徒がほとんど
Umbrella curse is probably a tourist trap I've never seen that in 6 years living in Japan lol
16:40 as a person who have lived for 7 years, I've never heard those flavors of ice cream. For confirmation, I asked my Japanese friend and he answered that "本当かどうか知らんけど変なもん食ってるヤツいるやろ'' translation ''it might be true because there are lots of weirdos eating shittiest combinations everywhere" lmao
いつか日本に来てくださいね！ ただ、夏はやめたほうがいいです。 死ぬほど暑いです！ 台風も来るので、
観光には向かない季節です。
Speed of eating is critical for dishes with noodles in the soup, such as ramen and udon. The hotter the food is, the better it tastes. Also, the longer the food is eaten, the more the noodles absorb the broth and become softer and less textured. When slurping noodles, the smell of the food is perceived more strongly.
For these reasons, Japanese people slurp their noodles.
Providers also want customers to enjoy their food, so they are disappointed when they see people taking a long time to eat it. Hot noodles Loud noise is not a good thing, but eating quickly is important.
The word for four can sound like the word for death
In western countries. 13 being unlucky is because of christian religion. Judas is the 13th apostle so 13 is a bad number.. in Japan, China and Korea, 4 is considered a bad luck because 4 means 4 corners which is the same as coffin casket that has 4 corners.. that’s why it’s a bad luck
Yeah from what I've seen there's a huge amount of cultural differences from country to country when it comes to eating manners. Lots of room for misunderstandings 😂
Also, update on the laufey reaction: her name is pronounced Lay-Vay. Just so you know 😅🤍
5:55 Bae's umbrella was recently stolen.
train in paris are also the worth trust me x)
I can explain the 4. It's like Americans, and potentially you as well, with the number 13. Four in Japanese is "Shi" which also means "Death" as you learned from Death Note, "Shi-ni-ga-mi" = God of Death
Tha Blue/Green thing I have read about, when I was trying to learn japanese, some 20-ish years ago. Nowadays they have a proper word for the color green, MIDORI, instead of AOI for both colors
5:50
Oh, I saw that exact youtube short.
04:53 "#7 People pushers in the subway"uuuum......I am pretty sure New York subways got those too 😈
@13:54, For the number 4 being unlucky. This is because, though four in Japanese counting is "yon", it is also often called "shi". And "shi" is the word for death (or "shinu"). So four is often associated with death and so is deemed unlucky and avoided.

You watched Re:zero and you still want to hangout in a rabbit island 🤣
speaking of blue lights... a Japanese man who was shun by coworkers for not following instructions managed to make the first ever blue LED light coz everyone has been doing the same thing to produce the blue LED lights but they don't work or the light was not really blue but even tho he lacks proper equipment he managed to build his own machines and created his own materials to do so... but the A-hole company (Nichia) he's been working on only gave him 1%!!!!! of the money he was supposed to receive for the invention!!! so he quit and made his own company in the US and is now bigger than the company he used to work with and he sued them and won 10x the money he was supposed to receive
my fiancé has been wanting to come visit. I'm so excited! also we have a ramen place that says to slurp on the menu
😄
Dude, I love your videos but dude, chill. 4 vids in one day?! Take a break!
If you want to see real only in Japan stuff there is a channel called Only In Japan, the channel used to make videos that has things that Only done in Japan for some reason, the Channel got split into two and the original creator created a new Channel with the same name but with his name attached to it, if you like, you can get in touch with the guy, he's kind of an unofficial ambassador there, he and his community help people who want to travel Japan with things like where to go and what to avoid, hidden gems where most tourist don't go or hard reach area, he also update stuff that tourist need to know before coming,
Oh, I almost forgot, that if you visit a person, usually you bring a small gift called Omiyage. They will probably give you something too and most people keep them and use them again for omiyage for others people. Nothing fancy or overly expensive.
11:16 yeah, I am a bit disappointed too, because the video doesn't show most of the things mentioned in it
Wait are you talking about the daily life of a english teacher in japan girl? 6:00
Oh so you watch Daily Life of an English Teacher in Japan - Megan and Ben yeah I seen that umbrella video
Four is pronounced similar to death in JP/KR/Mandarin and Cantonese, so these countries also avoid "four" in some practice
11:20 actually a nice way to tell who didn’t wash their hands afterwards. Because if they didn’t then there wouldn’t be water in the toilet to flush properly.
I have never seen the setup depicted there. However, a water tank with an integrated sink is quite common. It doesn't have any knobs; just, when you flush, the water flows from a faucet through the sink into the tank rather than into the tank directly. If you flushed, you get to wash your hands. There is always water to flush, because the tank always refills, whether you insert your hands into the stream or not.
I know that this video is very wrong, but i love how in this video Luke has the most Japanese comments😂
BGMが🇨🇳……日本じゃない
8:10 ever heard about how bad german trains are delayed ?
Koyori from Hololive eats mayo straight outta the bottle 💀💀
Hi Luke, I usually watch your BTS reactions and not as much anime since I’m older and used to read and watch a lot as a 3rd generation Japanese Canadian. I found this interesting since I visited both Japan and the U.K. long ago in different years. I have to agree with you that the transit trains in the U.K. frustrated me as I got to places much later and had to try again several times. There was no Uber back then. As for Japan, the food in the window I’m used to seeing and they sometimes have that here also. If you’re obviously a foreigner (visually), you don’t necessarily have to slurp your soup ( though you should drink it if small with both hands holding it. I’m used to slurping. I’m not sure about the mayonnaise and have only seen it served with fries since they don’t have ketchup. Maybe they have ketchup now. I also am not familiar about the ice cream. It’s so great you get a box of Tokyo treats!
The number four as someone explained means ‘death’ so we try to avoid the number 4. I forgot that when I was offered snacks that I knew you could politely decline once and then take a little bit the 2nd time offered. If you’re a guest, they will still keep bringing food. So, only eat a little each time until they stop. Unknowingly, I realize now that I I do offer food or drink to guests or even search if nothing is prepared for surprise visits. We keep some frozen just in case now. 😂 I even offered drinks to construction workers who have been outside working in the complex here. If you eat a bowl of rice, do not stick the chopsticks in straight as it looks like incense and also can represent death. I eat every grain to show respect for the hard work it takes many years to grow the rice. I’m a little more into the culture than my family. MWhen I’m lazy though, I do eat with a fork and feel weird if I should be using chopsticks. The vending machines have really increased there and there’s 1 Robot restaurant nearby but it’s so gimmicky for Toronto, Ontario that barely any Japanese go there. For a hotel experience it sounds interesting a,as dos the wading pool on the boat! Do not get a tattoo before you go. I got a couple and now can’t go into an onset since it’s considered related to the Yakuza gangs. 😢. Also make sure if you take medication, which ones you are allowed. Japan is strict so some medications are not allowed and will be confiscated. Yes, the umbrella thing works! I’m sure you know everyone walks on the left side and the streets are marked also for bicycles since many ride them. There’s a RUclips channel of a Japanese guy from Japan that covers different customs or explains why one does something. A lot is similar to Korea and Hong Kong too. I can’t remember the name of the man, but if I find him, I will let you know. I think it’s amazing that one day you will go to Japan! Oh,there’s also a famous small monument of a dog from the movie ‘Hachiko’ (English version -Hachi) based on a true story that is so heartbreaking and heartwarming. They put this statue of the same dog up in front of the station in Tokyo. I visited all around so I never got to see the statue but many other things. I could go on about the culture and what you should or don’t have to do, but I’ll leave it her since I wanted to cover this video. Oh, the fruit is super expensive! It’s almost the reverse where Japanese food costs less and fruit high as imported than maybe in the U.K. Still, a nice thing to see. I hope some of this explains things a bit. Hagn! 💜🇨🇦🇯🇵🙏☺️
Cool. another one :)
I remember this video from one of the very first SidemenReacts
11:41 The water is from the previous person that washed their hand in the room.
Hi Luke Georgia Here You Need To Do A Video Reacting To Su Metal From Babymetal With Her Solo Song Called White Love.
i actually had the wasabi kitkat before
There are restaurants that specializes in serving horse meat. Miku Kobato loves horse meat and popular where she grew up. She also loves playing the horse races.
If you liked the anime Overlord and you want to see another dark hero who comes close to Overlord then watch "Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute!" or not quite like that but also good "Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari"
