How To Guide On Making Japanese Feel Uncomfortable
Welcome, world travelers! In this video, we're here to help you avoid making others in Japan feel uncomfortable by breaking cultural norms. Japan has a rich and well-mannered culture, and there are several do's and don'ts to keep in mind to fit in seamlessly. Get ready to learn when to take off your shoes and discover a host of other essential tips!
One of the primary concerns for locals is noise, so it's crucial to be mindful of your volume. Japanese people are generally soft-spoken and prefer to avoid unnecessary attention. Additionally, speaking a little Japanese, even if you're a beginner, can go a long way in showing appreciation for the locals' effort to communicate.
Smell harassment is a lesser-known aspect of Japanese etiquette. Unlike Western cultures, Japan favors staying fresh and neutral, particularly in formal settings like work and school. Avoid wearing strong perfumes or colognes to prevent discomfort for those around you.
Respect the queueing system, as Japan places great importance on orderly lines. Whether it's for an elevator, bus, train, or escalator, join the queue and wait your turn. Remember to keep to the left side in elevators and allow people to exit before boarding.
In Japan, keeping others from getting sick is crucial. Wear a mask when necessary, particularly on public transportation. Avoid public nose blowing and maintain a considerate approach towards personal hygiene.
Cultivating a slower pace of life is valued in Japan, so try not to be overly critical or confrontational. Embrace the peace and harmony of Japanese culture by enjoying life's moments rather than rushing through them.
Respecting personal space is vital. Japanese people prefer to maintain a comfortable distance and avoid physical contact with strangers. Avoid breathing down someone's neck on a train and refrain from touching others without their consent.
When socializing, follow the custom of not pouring your own drink. Instead, keep an eye on your friends' drinks and refill them using both hands. Let them reciprocate the gesture by filling your cup. This practice reflects Japanese politeness and attentiveness.
Chopstick etiquette is another area where foreigners often make mistakes. Avoid playing with your chopsticks or sticking them vertically into your bowl. When sharing a platter, use your chopsticks to transfer food to your plate before eating, and never pass food with chopsticks.
In Japanese dining customs, pouring soy sauce directly onto your food is considered improper. Instead, pour some soy sauce into a small dipping cup and dip your food into it. This method enhances the flavors and is a unique experience in itself.
Eating loudly is frowned upon in Japan. Take the time to savor your food and enjoy it gracefully, respecting the dining experience.
Contrary to many cultures, tipping is not customary in Japan. The total bill already includes service charges, and leaving a tip may even cause confusion or offense.
Japanese people prefer not to eat or drink while on the go. Instead, find a designated area to consume your food or beverage, such as near vending machines, and dispose of any trash appropriately. This practice allows for a more relaxed and enjoyable dining experience.
Lastly, be aware of the shoe etiquette. In many places, such as ryokans, hospitals, schools, temples, shrines, and some restaurants with tatami mats, it is customary to remove your shoes at the entrance. When using the bathroom, change into the provided slippers and change back into your original slippers when leaving. Ensure your socks are clean and hole-free for a respectful appearance.
By adhering to these tips, you'll make a positive impression and foster meaningful connections with the locals in Japan. If you found this video helpful, don't forget to like and subscribe

    Last time I was in that area years ago, it was not beautiful sultry Japanese ladies approaching me while walking around...it was pushy dudes from Nigeria loudly asking me "HEY, YOU WANNA SEE SOME TI**IES MAN? TI**IES?!" I explored the rest of Shinjuku instead, and found some cool game center arcades to hang out.

    I suggest to visit PSY BAR if you like Rock and Metal. Good prices, no hidden charges and nice atmosphere. If you want to visit the PSY BAR, try the drink called hell machine. You can also try to win a drink, jägermeister or a t-shirt at the gacha machine for 500¥.

    @1:02 I didn't see many Yakuza when I was there. Lots of Nigerians standing on every corner though. They kept walking up to me saying "Hey Buddy! you need something? You need drugs? You need sex girls? You need a bar with girls?" I had to tell at least 11 of them to f*ck off. Almost got into a fight with one of them. I don't know why they're allowed to operate like that, and I never see any CZcamsrs bring this topic up.

    The host club needs some explanation. Some women who work in sexual work earn up to 10 times more than the average person. Host Club is mainly targeted at such women. Some women have their lives stripped and their lives ruined. It's almost a rip-off bar.

Luckily they figured it out before konked out and dragged themselves out of there. Be Careful out there. Big City = Big Crime.

    I used to occasionally check into a "love hotel" alone just to get a break from life in Japan. I recognize Japanese woman as pretty and adults...but not my thing. I just can't get past the creep factor they are the size of 12yo girls in my head. My now wife is 5'10" in flats. Nothing in Japan is my size. Everything feels like trying to fit in a Kindergarten desk. Tattoos are taboo and have to be covered. So some facilities like water parks and baths I'm not usually allowed in. Clothes and shoes have to be shipped from America because I'm baby Shaque in Japan. Apartments are tiny and walls thin. And you must be very quiet and not disturb neighbors.Or you have to give a gift as apology even if it's a risk legitimate reasons like repairs. [I recommend laundry soup. It's a nice practical gift.] I have to eat before and after dinning with friends because Japanese portions are so small and I don't want to be rude and eat to much. I am always at risk of dropping to an unhealthy weight in Japan because just to stay at my level of fitness every meal could feed a family of 4 in Japan. It is amazing quality though. Fruit, vegetables and meat is fresh! Fish 🤤 And I did enjoy the 3 years I lived there. But sometimes...... I just wanted a big room, big bed, walk around shirtless and order as much food and beer as I wanted and watch a movie on a big ass TV without headphones. Rented one to watch the Super Bowl at least. So could be free to fully enjoy it out loud. Cheer, jeer and be loud AF! ...in private. And they offer all that at a really affordable price and the privacy for guests are taken to the extreme. So you can really relax and unlike even normal hotel chains in America they scrub the rooms spotless. I would be less worried about a blacklight in a Japanese "love hotel" than any average hotel in America. Definitely more than a random motel. I've found someone's lost shirt or jeans in American hotels on check in that were supposedly cleaned by housekeeping beforehand. I travel with my own household chemicals and just make sure it's sanitized before I can relax. My wife usually drives off to get us food while I put on gloves and sanitize it for us and the kids. 😂 Japanese people do tend to be very clean and organized. And you better pay attention to the recycle bins. I once found my wallet on a pillion where I parked my motorcycle and all the money and everything still in it and protected with a plastic bag as it was raining. I'd never see it agian in large city here. But since most petty theft like shop lifting and vandalism is committed mostly by foreigners. Japanese people sometimes profile you as suspicious but I just took that with a grain of salt and not personally.😅

    I remember going here with my ex and I didn't like it at all. I was unaware that it was an 'unusual' area and just thought that was me over-reacting. I saw some very unusual things and one of the strangest was continuously being followed by Nigerians yelling at us and offering directions... I kept telling everyone that 'I don't like Shinjuku', however now I realise that it's just the Kabukicho area at night and it's interesting to know that it is well-known for these things.
