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 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.

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."
@phoenixw22 жыл бұрын
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'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.

Chris, thanks for sharing these rituals of Japan. My parents are from Japan(now we are in Vancouver,BC). I grew up being told these rituals. Another one I remember is that after attending a funeral, you throw salt on yourself so as not to allow the spirit of the deceased to follow you into your home. Some very unusual rituals in Japanese culture. Thanks for your entertaining vlogs. ありがとう🙏👍🏼

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.
@andersforsgren38066 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

It's the worst terrorist attack in Japanese history and is the reason why public trash cans are nearly nonexistent in Japan. Edit: Whoops, looks like there's already a comment about this. Oh well.
