10 Things You NEED to Know Before Coming to JAPAN (That No One Talks About)!

Here is what I wish I knew before coming to Japan! I just came back from a trip to Tokyo, Japan and things are SO different there, in a good way!
Japan has many unspoken rules and there's a few things NOT to do there that can be pretty different to what I'm usually used to in Europe or the US.
So I wanted to share with you 10 things you need to know before coming to Japan, whether it's your first time in Japan or you've already been there a lot. This is my personal reaction and opinion to a few things that I found cool or suprising and I hope you'll enjoy it! :)

please don’t say “Don’t tip”, maybe not at the restaurant, but some other people who work for tour industry DO accept tips and we really appreciated it.

Bravo Lucile, Tes vidéos sur le Japon sont très intéressantes. J'adore ton travail et la manière dont tu présentes les pays que tu explores !

Awesome job Lucia thumb up .

[@LucileHR]

Thank you :D

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

No problem

[@Askaa88]

Japanese people are humble enough to say that customers visiting their establishment is good enough, so we will do our best and don't need tips in return. In the west however, if you don't tip, they give you nasty looks and in some countries it's even mandatory to tip between 10-20%. In some cases for sh*tty service as well. What a difference in mindset, others are super humble and delivers good quality and others are ignorant, delivers poor quality and still expect their customers to tip them. Giving a tip is to show gratitude for good services and therefore you'll have to somewhat "earn it", not for entitlement because they expect the most out of the lesser service they provide.

The world should invest in 7 and i holdings so that the company can renew all 7-11s in the world and turn them into a Japanese Konbini, just like they are already doing in near asian countries.

日本の札やコインの技術は世界最高峰で偽造しにくいから現金は安全。 クレジットカードは世界でも手数料が高いレベルにあります。よってクレジットを使うと お店は損します。グローバリストは仮想通貨とデジタル化を日本に要求してきますが、 まだまだ抵抗感は強いですね。

[@user-pr9ge8km5f]

Thank you for coming to Japan. Next time, please come to Osaka. You will enjoy Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki.

Are the prices of things in Japan low?

[@LucileHR]

It's not a budget destination but you can find good deals :) I am making a video about that next week I believe!

[@ProtoMarcus]

I'll speak from a Canada point of view. *_Getting there_* is expensive - usually the case with any Asian destinations. But once there? Cost of life is *super* affordable. Everything's really affordable _(low cost)_ but never at the expense of quality or quantity! - Public transportation is affordable and accessible - Accommodations are very cheap in price but excellent in quality _(and experience)_ - Food is super accessible and low cost, yet very satisfying, tasty, delicious and healthy! Ready to eat stuff are everywhere and of excellent quality - Konbini, restaurants, street food, vending machines - for a few hundred yens _(100 yen is about 0.91$CAD)_ you can have whole meals. By comparison, I can have a very generous and complete meal for about 500 Yen in Japan (4.57$CAD) - In Canada? I'd be _lucky_ if I could get a simple DRINK at that price!

[@viviann0807]

If tourism in Japan is that good, I must definitely go. Even though Japan is a developed country, prices are low, which is very attractive to tourists. Thank you for your comment!@@ProtoMarcus

[@ProtoMarcus]

@@viviann0807 My pleasure! Been to Japan in 2019, then in April of this year and I'm going once more in Spring 2024 ahahaha It is a WONDERFUL country!

I see, Japan is a wonderful country in the world of dreams！@@ProtoMarcus

Do middle age Japanese speak any English ?

[@LucileHR]

A lot of people I met speak enough English to communicate a bit, and people were very happy to use Google translate if needed :)

以前は手から手へと現金を受け渡していましたが、コロナ後からトレイに置いたり、自動の機械にお金を入れて支払うようになってしまいましたね。ちょっと寂しいですね…。

日本のセブンイレブンがオーストラリアのセブンイレブンを買収するそうです。もしかしたら、近いうちにオーストラリアのコンビニも日本のようになるかもしれませんね😊

[@Iime3]

do you know japanese

[@LucileHR]

I unfortunately do not! :)

[@dragonzord6615]

I'm not sure how any of this is stuff 'that no one talks about' when pretty much everyone talks about these things...
