"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".*
Thats sounds goddamn adorable
;-; that's so darn cute
That's pretty badass and respectable.
@@sketchonomadek5270, Enolp, Aedrim, YES, guys! I literally died right in the minute. A ton of respect to Japanese honor.

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!

I actually like it when foreign people shakes my hands or hugs me. I think itâs a lovely gesture.

I'd like to see the Japanese SWAT team carefully removing their shoes and moving into slippers before infiltrating.
Nah, professionals just put plastic bags over their shoes as they enter the house! =P
Lmaoo
I really hate that most Americans dont remove their shoes when going inside the home on their carpet and some of them going on the bed with shoes on, most American are unclean.
hahahaha, I like your comment very much. That's so hilarious.
If you're not washing your feet after going to the bathroom you're dragging your aerosoled %#%% all over the house anyway.
as a Japanese living in America, when my friends walk into the house with shoes on, im like âWHAT DO YOU THINK YOUâRE DOING?â
ăŸăăż bruh im not japanese but same
ăŸăăż bruh same and Iâm not even Japanese. Or when you see them put shoes on the bed like âBoi if you donât-â
haha i think than if you have some respect no matter your culture, you might make confortable to the other and respect their house
Same in France my friends;
it's the same here in sweden you have to take off your shoes.
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."
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.
I think it's a Japanese answer even if I'm Japanese
Japanese people are worried that they will be uncomfortable when they say negative words to them.
should ask them "are you japanese?" hmmmmmm maybe I am???!?!?!
You could have just taught them "IÂŽm afraid it is red" and problem sorted.
@@CrazyMazapan That's still a positive sentence.
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.
The same thing is donât in pakistan, I actually thought it happens everywhere till now
@@hafsahqureshi2702 Interesting, thanks!
We also have a pair of shoes that we only wear in the gym.
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.
a lotta pple in india do that too

Japan: has hardly any trash bins but streets are really clean
New York City: has so many trash cans but streets are basically trash cans too
Japan uses their streets for cars
NewYorkCity uses their streets for the homeless.....
there is obviously a problem with the translation of the word street , since it has a different meaning :P
Japanese: Can't find a trash bin? I'll just take it home with me... can't let the streets get littered!
Americans: But the trash can is like... 20 feet away! I can't walk that far to throw my trash away! I'll just leave it on the ground!
Maybe a big part of the problem is NY hasn't sparked joy in such a long time
@@kadynbilberry9746 I'm American and I see this all the time, people just throwing coffee, and food on the groundđits so bad.

It makes sense for everyone to be nice, to be polite, to maintain that air of harmony, to keep your opinion to yourself when you live in such a compact country like Japan.
First saw this video 5 years ago preparing for my vacation in Japan. To this day I still watch all your videos, thank you for your content.
I'm the only one who feels anxiety for the fact that he had to do those things in public in order to show us
People probably knew he was filming so they didnât really bother.
He probably did them for a half-second to get the footage (or mouth into the phone).

Great video!
Can you make an updated video about:
What would be the best way for an American to learn Japanese?
From a Japanese personâs perspective, if you could guide an American to learn Japanese, then what would be the most efficient tools/resources that you would recommend?
What tools/resources have your American friends used that was very successful?
What schools, books, online classes, apps would be the most valuable for an American to learn Japanese?
Thank you so much!
The best part of this video is clearly that he does EVERY SINGLE THING he tell us not to do
rest of the world:
"i know a good place to hangout"
Japan:
"come i found this cool bin location"
Which also is a poke stop !
even on their beds
I find the double space after "come" delightful because I read it as a bit of an extra pause
look, you can even smoke here!
I found you on curiosity stream doing a documentary about cats in japan, I am finally going to japan next year after years and years of wanting to go, I am watching your videos to get me nice and prepped and ready, so thank you for all your amazing content. There seem to be so many rules which make logical sense in Japan.

This is why Japan is unique...you won't find another country like it any where in the world. It's about respect and etiquette.

Don't make fun out of Yui-senpai
this rule urks me. especially because many people in japan work so much that it would help with time management.
yui was always a little "off" though
I'm Japanese and I do a lot of sightseeing.
I think this rule is possible depending on some place.
For example, Onsen-towns, festivals, and some tourist spotsïŒsuch as MiyajimaïŒ.
@@richardnoah2922 "yui-sempai" while you are a grown ass man that you're probably 20 years older than her
I'm Japanese, but I think this video is mostly correct.
Not following the signal or blowing your nose depends on your personal morals, so it varies from person to person, but you must follow other rules. Especially those who do not keep time recognize that they are sloppy and embarrassing as adults. Please come to Japan when Corona calms down!
I tend to not use the traffic lights if i think i can just wait for a decent opening since i can get across without stopping anyone while if i press the button and wait for it to go green then it will likely stop people after i have crossed plus they tend to last longer then it take for me to cross. Though i have seen quite a lot of people dashing across the road seconds before a car which i can definitely see as being a dick move plus dangerous.

The Japanese are so gracious and forgiving! I loved my time there!!
I tried learning Japanese by reading a Language book and even had a day of learning Japanese and so far only remembered one sentence in Japanese with some bits here and there. It's been while since I used chopsticks but it's always been interesting to use them.
Even though I may never be able to go to Japan, I still wanted to learn the language and culture.
I took japanese in college. It requires a lot more memorization than other languages, thanks to kanji. You basically just have to dedicate at least 5,000 hours to it to learn it, and it will take many years

My favorite on my bucket-list is Japan. My partner doesn't appreciate this idea, because "Japanese people are racist". I cannot imagine why he thinks so and I don't really care about this opinion but do you guys have any information about it?
@@Mereszanh01 Yeah, they are. Japan is the most racist country in the world, Google it. However this has improved a LOT the past couple generations, most racists are old people now. But yeah a lot of Japanese people don't like foreigners, they're not racist as in slaves or any laws or stuff, but some people dislike foreigners and especially non-asians, and treat you differently.
Tristee
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.
Alexandra missDUTCHESS

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.
How quiet are trains in Japan? Here you have to literally scream to pass a word at half meter in the sub.
I always got terrible looks of disgust and anger when i had whisper conversations with my partner on every crowded train in Japan..They accept nothing less than total silence.
why can't people be like that in America ._.

Hello. I'm a Japanese person living in Chiba prefecture.
Even in Japan, blowing your nose in public is not a serious violation of etiquette. However, depending on the location and situation, it may be best to do it as quietly as possible.
I am Japanese. There is something I want you to be aware of. Recently, there have been incidents of foreign tourists visiting temples and shrines and being forced to buy fake good luck charms by Asians dressed as Indian monks or Japanese monks in the temple grounds. So, please be sure to buy good luck charms at the sales counter in shrines and temples. Sorry for my poor English.

âWhen you enter a different country, you are your countryâs ambassador.â -my middle school teacher
That is the wisest thing I've heard.
Yes very true.
Wow.
Didn't even think about it that way
This is 100% true and I take it very seriously when I travel. You may be the very first person that someone meets from your country. If youâre rude they may think all people from there are rude.
Never even had the thought about japan, this randomly got recommended to me but you are stating things which I definitely wouldn't like other people doing in the public like showing affection. Convincing
This is the first time im seeing your channel, and after two Videos, this one and why not to go to japan, I only want to go there more.
The culture, the difference in people, the way of life is something that intriges me so much! But where to start is where I always walk against :(
Thanks for the nice content!
As a Japanese opinion, the things you definitely must care about are
âTips
âCalling in the train
âWearing shoes inside
âthrowing trash
âcrossing on a red
But we would understand about rest of them.
And as he said you donât have to too much care about making mistake but enjoy Japan!!
We are waiting!
I'm curious about the slipper things. Is it seen badly to just remove your shoes and walk with your socks/naked feet?
@@poutineausyropderable7108 Nah that isn't a problem unless there's one right next to the entrance. Hospitals, hotels and any other public place has a rack for slippers next to the entrance. When you go to a friends place, socks and naked feet are fine. But like everyone else is saying, everyone accepts mistakes so they'll just be like "Sorry to mention this, we ask every customer(patient) to wear slippers inside our facilities".
ayo hol up you say japanese be against trash... but how come your streets are littered with idol bands ads
I'm surprised to see that crossing on a red is one of the big ones not to do. Even if there isn't a car in sight?
I completely understand not trying to get through quickly when there are oncoming cars (or if you live in the US, just walk out as slow as you can, daring the driver to hit you), but if there is no car anywhere to be seen it just feels like a waste of time.
seulgii_ same! my friend and I are planning to eventually go to Tokyo a couple years from now

Only if youâre 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, thereâs massive social pressure to stay late after hours, and in many cases go drinking after work. :(
@@kiwimusume Yeah I hear working in Japan is hell
One of my favourite travel vlogs of all time - my son and I were in stitches - brilliant video. Will definitely be abiding those roles when we go next year (we are doing our research atm). I believe another one is not showing tattoos in public...
Me: Leaves 10 cents tip and returns to home country next day

"Don't eat and drink while walking"
Anime girls: *eats a whole entire meal while going to school*
Oh,,,yes. It is anime that isnt real.đ haha
but in festival,sometime we'll eat and drink while walk .ïŒ@[]@[]@
Sorry for mine English is bad.
Total sense đ
Yeah and it's almost always toast, unless they're teying to break the cliche by making the anime girls eat a whole freaking bowl of ramen or sth while running to school đ
I see Japanese break this rule all the time, constantly, especially on big city areas
Lol
Love how dramatic the "Donts" are xD

that dramatic ending too omg... hilarious đ«
Hmm not all is correct: Don't eat and walk - correct, same in Singapore and a few other places. Share and move food over - incorrect, we, they and Asians share food - so this is accepted. Hugs - yes just dont. Shoes, huh we dont walk in shoes in most homes in Europe either - but erm good vid just a small thing that didnt fit with my experience. :)
He's saying that you're allowed to share food, but put it on their plate or invite them to take it from yours. Do not directly pass food from chopsticks to chopsticks in mid-air.
Actually it was from chopstick to chopstick that we've done, and that together with Japanese hosts. Perhaps its because they were working class, at least it was in a rural place.
But yes, inviting to take the food from your plate is considered ok.
"No crossing roads on red" is my favorite. There is a channel of Yusuke who uploads just his speech in english and japanese as practice for foreign students. In the very first video he literally breaks this don't because he is genuanly lazy to press button for green light
I live in Australia and actually am a seemingly absolute rule keeper here as I now realise I would be in Japan. One of the reasons is because Australian states (I am in Tasmania) are always very dirty with litter, and another is that the street crossings with lights are generally ignored. In the past I have felt strange about abiding by the rules when many people don't, but now I feel great. Thank you.

Finally found a comment not about Logan Paul.....
I'm Japanese.
When you (or we) get phone call in train, you(or we) can use a phone and should say "I'll call back later as I'm on a train".
You don't have to ignore that call, I guess.
In addition, sometimes you can see some Japanese sit on a floor in train, but that is not manner...
I'm sorry for my poor English.
It would make me happy if my comments helped you.
You had great English! Nothing to worry about.

*WHY NOT JUST USE HIRAGANA INSTEAD OF KANJI WHY THIS IS SO HARD*
@@MehNameIsJeff I'm a Japanese but I think so, too :)
You are HILARIOUS! Love this video. Going to Japan in December and gathering info. Thank you
Great video as usual. As a classic street crossing anywhere, any time Brit, I decided I was going to cross the road at a random part of the road with a lone cyclist approaching some 30 metres away on Karl Marx Strasse in Berlin last year. My mate stopped me crossing saying it was setting a bad example for the children, and so I waited. The cyclist also tutted me as he rode past....
This is also a city where you can drink booze in public in front of kids but yeah, cultural norms and abiding them is a thing
Seriously, not littering on the streets should be the norm everywhere.
Yeah I agree but why are there no trash bins for that purpose?
@@sepmaz5080 yeahh.... I love how clean the streets is but its so damm difficult to find a trash can.
@@sepmaz5080 Trash bin is a sign of dirtiness, which explains its lack of presence, although it's a pain in the ass to find one when you're out and about.
So are rooms you can swing a cat in in most cities.
@@sepmaz5080
Terrorists are making bins rarer, they throw bombs in the bins and itâs discrete and makes shrapnel, urban designers are aware of this and make specially made terror resistant bins or just less bins
if you go to japan dont expect to have the subtitles like in anime
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.
lol
madharuhi i think they mean English subtitles
While you have a point, the OP meant to not expect to have any subtitles in real life when you go to Japan like you can get in Anime (at least for now...) for conversations, signs, etc...
lol
Iâm Japanese, and I think the first is not so bad manners.
It isnât necessary to be careful about it, and I recommend that you come to Japan and eat many delicious our food with enjoying our beautiful town seeing

Hi. This video just like your other ones are really helpful for someone like me so many thanks.
My mom really wants to spend a month in a country to know what life is in that country and I suggested we do Japan since we stayed there for 2 weeks last 2019 literally 2 months b4 covid đ€Ź.

Seriously, grew up in Hawaii and was shooting the bull with some mainland US born Japanese people here in my favorite hangout, Japantown in San Jose California, and at one point the older lady said, "He's more Japanese than we are!".

So when someone hands you a business card, we should analyze it like: "Look at that subtle off-white coloring; the tasteful thickness of it... Oh my God, it even has a watermark."

Someone needs to make an app showing the locations of all the bins in Tokyo.
where is George Costanza when you need him
credit to @Rhys Perrin for finding this "
Actually the reason you canât find a rubbish bin in Japan because of a religious cult that killed 13 and injured 5,500 while trying to install a messianic yoga instructor as the new Emperor of Japan a few years ago. They put homemade poison bombs in bins around Japan which is why the Japanese government reduced the number of bins." so probably dont?
No need of app! Just look for the vending machines. You most probably find a trash bin nearby. ;)
Same-ish thing happened in France so now we have... transparent bins. And it works.
There probably is one
Notable are the customs/etiquette around serving drinks (i.e., avoid pouring your own drink, serve the most senior person first, etc.)
So if you pour drinks, you hand the bottle over to someone to pour yours or pour your own too?
Thanks for the video, mate

That was the weirdest cinema showing I had been to. Literally everyone in there was asian except for my friend and I who are caucasian and central asian. But on top of that, there was a part in the film where the fucking room sounded like it was crying... and I was looking at my friend going "Is this supposed to be fucking emotional or something?"
People are so weird.
@CRAZEH247
the movie was very emotional though, so crying is understandable
na m8. It was a pretty cheery film with maybe some bittersweet-ish moments and both of us were pretty shocked that people were straight up loudly bawling in the cinema and even found it that emotional.
O_o
@CRAZEH247
Asian people in general are more emotional then they seem at first. I think it's cultural thing
You can break the eating and drinking rule, when you are at a festival and there are food stalls around. I sometimes took quick drink from a bottle I was carrying, when it was hot. I found that just stopping for a moment out of the way somewhere that was not too crowded and having a quick sip and putting it back away, was acceptable, as long as your not walking while doing it. I never got nasty stares for it, and I have seen Japanese people do it. You could even get away with sipping a drink on a train, if its not crowded at the time, and you are careful not to spill a single drop, particularly if you have lid to put back on it and you put it away afterward. I tended not to do it, but you could get away with it, and I have caught Japanese people having a quick sip, although it was rare to see.
Thank you for sharing this
I never realized that an anime girl getting run over by truck-kun was actually just propaganda to not j-walk.
Truck-kun is the biggest villains in entire Anime Universe
But why would they have anime protagonists run in and save them and die instead just to get transported to a cool fantasy world đ
@@panicoaki I'd say the answer but its too dark.
@@kennyyuliandrika7162 Are you kidding? Truck-kun is our lord and savior, all hail truck-kun!
I sawa Thai comic somewhere that Truck-kun is run by an organization that specialize in transporting potential hero candidates in this world to another worlds that need them. They also specialize in evading the Popo that understandably hunting them down.
As a Japanese person, this is pretty entertaining because all of these are things that are normal and standard, but hearing it from the perspective of a tourist is kinda funny.
Hhmm now you've given me an urge to look up what not to do or do in the US.
dont do anything. america is sensitive now :/
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.
I mean, it 's not like there aren't any bins anywhere. Places like train stations and convenience stores have them. There just aren't that many on the streets
@@dabbie2700 How could the city punish one random dude for throwing a piece of gum? Is there gonna be trash police? The reason why bins arent everywhere is to keep few places with trash and even those that exist are regulated often. Here in greece there is a shitton of trash cans that are ALL overflowing...
I'm a Japanese, and I found this very useful. I get this kind of questions a lot but I don't have good answers. Being an expat for years, I think I'm breaking quite a few of them when I'm back in Japan. And I found the comment I made five years ago!
This is not only for Japan. The most general rule to follow when traveling anywhere, respect local customs and cultures. You will have a better time and also be received much better. Imagine you are a guest at someoneâs home.
I am Japanese. We are very glad that everyone is coming from other countries. Don't be afraid of the rules, please come when the virus subsides. As there are many rules in Japan, but most people are kind.âșïžđ«¶

Some Japanese people do not follow the rules. The rules differ from country to country, so it's natural that you can't follow them. I'm happy just because of your feelings.đ„°
