a good example of what NOT to do in Japan is Logan Paul's vlogs lmao ik that's old news but that's still a good example

uhm filming a suicide isn't acceptable in any country, not only Japan

[@Tranght235]

oowka Not just that but also his other vlogs. The suicide forest scence was like the last straw. He showed many disrespectful actions such as yelling loudly in public, throwing subjects at people, carring a fish and octopus tentacle around then dumb them on a random cab,... so much more. His vlogs are the definition of what not to do in Japan.

It's interesting to see the other side of the coin when a Japanese person visits the United States. For example, I had a Japanese business partner that was elated to know you can smoke in the streets in the US. He was very confused, however, that we have so many garbage cans yet so much litter everywhere.

[@the_letter_b]

Haha, yeah. Definitely a major cultural difference. I think how the US handles smoking makes a lot more sense for those concerned about air quality and their health (makes no sense that most restaurants, cafes, bars, and clubs allow smoking in Japan yet outdoors you have to find a special place to) while Japanese cities are a lot cleaner than US cities. Garbage is all over the place in NYC.

[@mysticflower7795]

B En it’s fir people with breathing conditions and just good manners to not smoke in the streets

[@nunyabeezwax6758]

*I* am confused why we have so many litter cans but litter everywhere. I don't get it. Much like how I don't get why Japan has NONE and no way to eat anywhere except like outside of stores. - Due to how busy it is you'd think that it'd be *ideal* to be able to eat on the go (just like sleeping on the train, eating a packaged lunch would seem similar in nature...)

Most people in Japan also carry a handkerchief around at all times to avoid using paper towels and tissue paper. In Singapore, a litter law dating from 1968 means litter bugs can be fined $1,000 for the first conviction and $5,000 for repeat convictions.

[@VampyrMygg]

Sneaky photos, I think that's why Japanese phones.. you can't turn off the shutter sound for taking photos. So they'll always make a sound when you take a picture.

[@than217]

It's funny you say that because I remember back when camera phones were a 'new thing' back in 2002ish reading an article in Time Magazine about Japan getting them and they were worried too many people would be taking phones into bathrooms to take photos. I always remember that story. The tone of the article was like "this is the horrible future we face if camera phone technology ever comes to the US!"

It is NOT hard to carry around your garbage, just bring it with you, in Tokyo and other cities there are konbinis all over the place and there you will most likely have garbage can. CathyCat, should do a video just about those "sneaky pictures" and when it happens you should bring out your angry German at that moment and confront them, teach the a lesson right there.

[@Moaritsu]

It's highly taboo to take pictures of children and post it online. Japanese people are very private and do not wanna be the subject of photos without their permission. That being said, if you're in Tokyo and taking pictures in a busy area, you're probably totally fine, just don't point it directly at people!

[@PlNKUHOSHI]

Actually generally, it’s OK to take photographs of a large crowds in Japan. As long as you are from a distance and individual people can't be recognised. And if someone travels from the other end of the world to Japan they will take pictures. Even if locals don't like it. We have people taking pictures in London in the underground, and on all other major touristy places.

[@PokeRedstone]

I never really realized the whole dinner vs lunch thing. But now that I think about it it’s obvious. Going out to lunch or to get coffee has completely different connotations than getting dinner.

[@junkochama]

The queuing thing actually caught me out a few times in Japan! Mostly bc they were queues for things we don't wait in line for here in NZ (like waiting out side of a cafe, normally if it's a place u need to be seated in in NZ, you go inside and wait, not outside), but often the social cues for what constituted a line were very different. In one case, the "line" looked a lot like a bunch of people just sitting in a seated area, maybe taking some weight off their feet, in an art gallery. The cafe they were waiting in line for was empty, so we just assumed no one was in there yet. Wrong! We caught onto the line thing quickly afterwards, but it's super embaressing not to see the line at all, i felt like an egg

[@edinho2000ful]

Cathy looks so beautiful in this one

[@user-tz9ic1zj7u]

Along with cutting in line. Be aware of where the line is. I felt like in Japan, because people respect personal space there is more space between people in the line and people at the the kiosks at the train station. In other countries, lines are not as spaced out and there is a lot of pushing and shoving, so I can see how some foreigners honestly just did not notice where the line started.

Rachel and Jun have a video on the 'why Japanese don't smell' topic. Apparently it's genetic and ties to the same marker that has the Yamato people's earwax be dry and crumbly.

Other than using perfume, I found that body mist is a great substitute. Not as strong, but definitely good. If a perfume is too overpowering, maybe one can try diluting it with alcohol or other more "professional" solvents if they can get their hands on these solvents. Cathy, you might want to try that out! Also, Bioré in Japan now has an alcohol based deodorant that's great and with no fragrance (I always grab a few bottles when I'm there). Helps make whatever fragrance someone uses stand out!

THAT LOGIC, dont smoke while walking on the street, but hey lets allow smoking inside restaurants because thats so much better. On the street people can easily move away if its annoying, when you are eating in a restaurant you cant just walk away....and from my expierence you can smoke in a lot of restaurants in japan and not just "family restaurants".

[@WeiYinChan]

Fuu there are smoking and non-smoking areas, and people can just opt not to go to a smoking restaurant. But when you do it on the street everyone around have to suffer, especially in crowded palces

[@powbobs]

Critical thinking is not your strong suit.

[@perpendicularmouse]

With the perfumes, I can't use strong scents without getting headache and having hard time breathing so what I do is if I can I will go outside and spray the perfume up an quickly walk uned it, it doesn't leave as strong scent on you. You can also do that just enough for your hands to catch it as if you hace the scent on your hands it won't come of too strongly and will fade naturally. You can also try to just play around so that you get few drops of perfume and put that on your wrist, back of your neck and hair. You can also think about spraying your clothing item before sleeping or in the morning and leaving it outside for a while so that the scent fades away a little!

[@jimmymoreno6527]

My girlfriend and I were visiting Osaka Castle and decided to hit up the Lawson store. There was a line going about 10 feet out the door. I thought that it was just the line. Come to find out that it is a line/shopping queue. The line runs every aisle of the store, so you shop while in line to pay. My girlfriend picked up on it a few minutes after I wandered in. I felt like such an idiot. I'm sure the japanese people see this everyday, but I'm amazed at how reserved they are when calling people out.

I won't take sneaky pics but a question. What if you are taking a photo at a scenic place and people will be in the photo? I know if I ever make it to Japan I would want to take a pic of the Godzilla store and when doing that people will be in the pic. Hopefully that wouldn't be a problem. I try to be courteous but being human I do make mistakes at times but I am always willing to apologize for my mistakes.

[@RelaxRelapse720]

william neuman - It's really not that big of a deal. Most people either won't notice or won't care as long as it doesn't seem like you're taking a picture specifically of them. Especially if it's of something unique like the Godzilla store. If you're really worried about it, you can blur out or cover their faces when you get home.

[@TheCeleron450]

Some of the lines can be a little confusing as too where they actually start as I have seen them with gaps in them to allow access to other stores that the line is in front of and on 1 occasion the line went across the street and continued on for another couple of blocks. As for taking a lot of pictures I believe it is just a touristy thing as I have seen Japanese tourists doing the same thing in my country as far as taking a lot of pictures of things I would not even consider taking a picture of. It must be something along the lines of "Just take a lot of pictures now and we can sort out later which ones to keep for the family/holiday album." As it will be too late to take a few considered photos now and then wish you had taken some different photos later. For me I try not too take pictures with individuals in them, however it can be difficult when you are trying to just take a photo of a scene when you are just trying to wait for everyone to get out of your shot and more people move into shot, so you end up just taking the shot out of frustration. Sometimes I just need a crowd to set the scene of the shot and I do everything I can not to capture peoples faces. In such situations what I am doing could be mistaken for me taking a picture of you when in reality I have not even noticed you.

The littering, smoking, not touching people, taking pictures without people's pernision, being loud af, cutting in line, smoking around other people. yeah, I think all of this should be everywhere.

Especially at konbinis because the lines are in between the aisles quite often and there's a gap (sometimes a few feet) between the customer at the counter and the line itself. You have to be aware in order to see the line sometimes.

When I visited Japan, I had an amazing experience of wearing a kimono in Osaka. I'm a foreigner but I'm also Asian. A Japanese man asked took a lot of pictures of me. He asked permission, but he never said how or where he will use the photos for. So, should have that been illegal as well?

I have a question should I hide my tattos when going to Japan? Because I have sleeves

[@deborah3534]

Hello question can you teach us how did you become so fluent in speaking nihongo? Or are you half japanese? Thank you

[@akmorf6609]

Is that girl on 04:50 ,Hirata? The American girl from that idol group AK4somthing..? And about the smell thing, its because east Asians have a nonfunctional version of the ABCC11 gene, causing them to have fewer apocrine sweat glands. ABCC11 also affects earwax texture. If your earwax is liquid or gooey and orange or yellow, you have functional ABCC11 genes and the full complement of apocrine sweat glands. If your earwax is dry, flaky, and colorless, you have the nonfunctional ABCC11 genes and fewer apocrine sweat glands

Except for the rules like where you can't smoke just anywhere, all the other rules seem very logical to me. I have always been very discreet and silent and I think I would blend in quite easily but anyhow, in a few months, I will spend roughly a month in Japan so I am not very worried and I'll see if I make major blunders or not... I hope not for sure :-) but I need to really learn how to use chopsticks properly....

I'm going to japan in October so I definitely wanna be extremely respectful during my visit

[@simoneedwards7035]

Same here in Trinidad. We hate when people cut in line and eating with ur mouth open.

GREAT VIDEO.............

The guy at the 3:00 mark is cute - just saying

Littering. Places like Shibuya, Shinjuku, Roppongi,..... even inside train stations are getting dirtier and dirtier every year as the number of tourists increase. It's a pity.

[@Mari-hb5do]

August Hayek not necessarily. sometimes people, even locals, are so tired they lay down their drinks and forget them there. i’ve seen that happening from time to time when I take the train. both have fault

[@hayek218]

Of course, in any country there are good people and bad people. But what I am saying is that as compared to even three years ago, places like Shibuya, Shinjuku, Harajuku.... even inside trains stations and buildings are much much dirtier. You can find photos and videos, and compare them to now.

[@hayek218]

I am not talking about just one event. The only difference between three years ago and now is the number of tourists. People do not change their behaviors that quickly.

[@zam023]

They are probably tourists.

I found it interesting that the one guy said you should eat quietly with you mouth shut, and I as an European was sometimes very annoyed by some male Japanese who'd eat really loudly :/ So, I always thought it'd be the other way around. There are also dishes like _soba_ that you're suppose to slurp, so there's that. Anyways, that was the one thing that surprised me a bit. I didn't expect that from a Japanese guy :) Other than that, very valid points. And those points don't only apply in Japan, but pretty much in any civilized country I'd say. By the way, about the perfume: If you do it right you even get compliments. So, there's not a general negative image of perfume, it's just about the right amount.

[@claudiasilvahermida2355]

I was surprised too when they talked about eating quietly, as a mexican person we have the idea that Asians eat in a loudly way
