Japanese Hospitality

I think Japanese hospitality is world No.1 level, and every tourist will feel so comfortable with Japanese services.
What make this possible? and What is the secret of this?
Are these all positive side of Japan?
Today I would like to tell about this topics!!

Recently, I have dinner with a finnish, he told me a lot about Norway and Sweden and Finland. I am so surprise to know their very small number of population, but having a very respectful culture. I wish one day I could visit your country!

[@jeffshubert]

I just had dinner at a Japanese restaurant and it was the best service I've ever had. They anticipated what I wanted as you said. You're explanation about the way of thinking about others helped me understand why being overly clear could seem rude. I love your channel!! Thank you!!!

[@AliceMafiarini]

Thank you for writing up those important words (with romanji pronunciation!) which reflect so much of the Japanese culture. Sooo helpful !

[@MilleAMillion]

As a hospitality major I really appreciate this video. The subtleties described in this video really are lovely.

[@GillianReyn]

I'm going to Japan during the summer to visit a friend who's working out there so I'm trying to learn a bit of the language and culture so I don't come across as rude but being British I wouldn't think twice about telling someone exactly what I wanted or speaking forwardly to people. I'm finding Japanese culture to be really interesting so thanks for the introduction.

[@komori841]

Yes, That true.Thanks for watching!

[@Nipponing]

I loved experiencing this when I was in Japan.

[@komori841]

Thanks sooo much !! I am so pleased to see your comment!!

[@jputube2012]

ur english is so much improved, compared to few months ago, i can tell. as usual, i have to come back to rewatch this w/ more focus. The video's ending was very good on the topic of both the strength/weakness of JA hospitality. Arigato for a good video on a good topic

[@thetonedeaftenors]

Thanks for the very informative video! They really take hospitality to the next level there!

[@ciscargo]

Hi Komori, thank you so much for making your videos about your country and culture. I know that one day I will go to Japan and thanks to you I will be more prepared. You are awesome, please keep making more videos :)

[@komori841]

Nathan, Thanks for your informative message! I am also learning a lot from u!

[@komori841]

Thank you!! I am sometime wondering if my channel is really useful or not. So your message encouraged me a lot!

[@komori841]

Thanks for your message ;D I wish I could tell more about Japan who are interested in ..

[@f4ke4]

You Japanese are so implied ! I hope you're not too disappointed when you visit other countries... I've already learnt so much from you, thanks for that and for your smile !

[@alftheim]

Thanks for Another Video shining as always

[@FingerLaserZ]

Thank you for the information. very well explained.

[@komori841]

Wow... Thanks for sharing your experience!! You know very well about Asia.. I should learn more about other asian countries!

[@terebiomimasu]

I never considered the possibility that by making specific requests it implies that the worker wouldn't know what to do if I didn't say anything--therefore, insulting. Very informative. I guess there's still a lot about Japanese culture that I need to learn.

[@williamrutkowski]

Great video and examples!!

[@PianoHaiku]

The information you gave from 5:28 to the end is really valuable! Thank you so much =)

[@ocenes1]

Helpful videos , I will check the Japanese hospitality in sommer

[@komori841]

ありがとう！Thanks!

[@komori841]

Thanks!!

[@komori841]

Thanks !

[@TracyReinhardt]

I really enjoy all your videos :) I don't comment all the time but watch and enjoy them all! Have a lovely day! Tracy

[@pekinobo]

Thank you Komori san for another great and educational video. Here in sweden it´s more normal for costumers to ask for help in shops etc. But our neighbour country Norway, the hospitality from people working in shops, restaurangs are great, not as in Japan I suspect though. Have a wonderful day.

[@komori841]

I have just checked from 5:28 , thanks for your feedback its also valuable for me!!

[@komori841]

Your welcome, thanks for your precious time to watch my video!

[@komori841]

Thanks for your encouragement ;D

[@JazzyZenBrotha]

Good video. It's yet another reason why I really like Japan. They have excellent hospitality.

[@peakeslaw]

good advice...thank you...

[@cbbhvjc]

For those who are interested in learning more about Japanese culture read the book called "The Japanese Mind", very well written, fun to read. Komori-san you have an adorable personality!

[@komori841]

Thanks for your reply!

[@velandra4]

Thank for sharing! It was a very interesting video :)

[@maxabeles]

great video, great grammar, great english accent !!!

[@JoshSaysStuff]

When my dad went to Japan on a business trip, he was surprised by how he had to give money and how change was given to him. They had him put it on a little tray and slide it over, and vice versa. Even though it was meant to be a polite gesture so there wasn't any uncleanliness, it made him feel like they thought he was dirty.

[@JoachimderZweite]

This is so charming and elegant. I am hoping you will do one on famous Japanese women like Sei Shonagon or Lady Murasaki Shikibu.

[@komori841]

May be yes!!

[@komori841]

I have never visited Philippines, however filipinos seems so kind, I could tell by their atmosphere. Japanese government also trying to increase the filipinos nurse gradually , may be this is also because of their detail service and hospitality.

[@komori841]

I agree, Generally people don't want to be inconsiderate person. If you find someone who is not considerate, let's think like this way .. He or she must have some deep problem or worry in his private life. And let him as he is. I am always try to think in this way.

[@komori841]

Thanks, I also dont like to wear glasses but, I am now running out my lenses.XX

[@cherryxtree007]

Yeah, I agree there were many times I felt the same way ~ I developed a tolerance or kinda "Whatever" attitude about it and tried not 2 let it bother me too much tho ~ but I can def. say sometimes it made me feel like I would never, ever fit in ... then realized, hey exactly, I will NEVER fit in 100% EVER ... so, then I accepted that as a given and said "Oh well", c'est la vie ~ I don't need total acceptance from people to be happy and live the way I want to live ^-^ Thanks for the comment:)

[@lemarc1234]

très intéressant

[@komori841]

Thanks for your message ;D As a Japanese, sometime i think the other country people are more friendly and open minded, on the contrary Japanese are relatively shy, I wish we could be little bit aggressive.

[@komori841]

I see. Thanks for telling your daddy story. Cultual differences sometime make confusion. I also should know other country custom and respect it..

[@maki1834]

おもてなしの心は日本の心ですよね 優しさですね

[@komori841]

No, it helps us. If we receive some question, then we think we got a "right" to say what we really want. Sometime Japanese are waiting for being asked, because it make us easier to be honest.

[@teamsalvation]

I have to agree with you. Service and politeness has not been better anywhere else I have traveled. I also agree that the fact all the rules and customs in Japan can be very difficult for an outsider to assimilate into. As a foreigner, these little things are perceived as annoyances - Why must I do this in this way? To me this method seams wasteful, why can't I do it this way, it's better. And this is where "thinking of others' is important, and as an American, we are raised to think of "me".

[@nepye3247]

You look so beautiful, thanks for the video 🙂

[@komori841]

Sometimes, yes.. Thanks for watching!

[@TheFinalElite]

Thx4info

[@cherryxtree007]

I lived in Japan for 2 years - I miss many things but one is especially the Customer Service! ^-^/

[@kawazu874]

Hospitality (hospitalité) is very different here as it's completely unrelated to services in shops or restaurants (and there's a great lack for this kind of services in France). This word is used here for something else. It's about putting people up, inviting people for lunch or dinner even without planning it, for example. About "think about others', i think it's one of the main causes of misunderstanding between french and japanese people ^_^ (maybe people from other countries too)

[@robertmcneill1545]

Japanese culture and politeness is great . I'm British.

[@marisakirei684]

I think this style of behaviour is common in many Asian countries, probably because of the culture shared by those countries...I have experienced this kind of service in China too and I thought it was really nice and polite. Unlike in many European countries, in countries like China, Japan and Korea a customer is always treated with respect, even if they don't buy anything expensive. On the other hand, in personal life it can be negative - people don't say what they really think or want...

[@social0inertia]

As in most Western countries (that I know of) it is normal to ask for what you want, is it considered rude if you were to do this in Japan as a tourist? I am just wondering how far the custom extends. ^^

[@S3biTV]

Greetings from Germay! I really enjoy it to learn something about Japan. May you know, that it is very expensive for us in Europe, if we want to visit it. My Question is: Is there something about your Country what you don't like, or you think, " this or that could be better" ? PS: Of course i subscribed you :)

[@axMf3qTI]

For example I want a cup of cup of tea. I can not say that directly, I have to wait till someone feels or reads my face that I want a cup of tea? That sounds complicated. I will probably sit there the entire evening without getting any tea.

[@joguSD]

The word you were looking for is considerate.

[@ThePokeTheatre]

nice acting. nice video. nice beauty.

[@SaveMe0377]

Oh, wow. This information makes me want to act like that, even where I live.

[@pekinobo]

I didn´t know that, only saw the comment. Ofcourse every people and their country has good and bad sides, every culture has. But from my perspective and from my life my best friends are japanese, so that was my first opinion (take something from myself, as we always do when it comes to things we have experienced). I don´t believe in an idealized version, I believe what I see and hear. An idealized version would be me having an nose massage centre there with +1,000 costumers every day. Be safe

[@lorant863]

i really like to come to that country so bad

[@TheNewthingstv]

when i do come you think if we can hoping met in person?

[@darfrias2606]

hi komori...have you tried visiting the Philippines already??? (^_^)...filipinos are also hospitable...warm welcome especially to the tourist..

[@peakeslaw]

I think it would be a good video to give advice to non-japanese males in a relationship w/a japanese woman to help him understand her better...I know it would be helpful to me...

[@otreborariz]

Jajaja, Your hospitality you did to yourself is great. I think your hospitality is because Japanese people have an strict discipline. By the way. You are a very beautiful & smart japanese girl.

[@Mecks089]

Is the english word "Selfless"?

[@hajarjabri2795]

Well exuse me I wanted ti ask about some words used to call people like " kun" "senpai" and " tan" added to their names Thank u

[@ABELIOUSS]

Random question. Is there a minimum wage people get paid?

[@theThugLife112]

Considerate is the word in English for thinking of others.

[@LiquidSnake1988]

Wish you could teach me to speak Japanese,,, Especially google+ hangout

[@komori841]

Thanks..for watching !!

[@komori841]

Thanks for watching!!

[@komori841]

Your japanese is enough to come here! ぜひいらしてください(^U^)

[@andrewworsdale7760]

An interesting insight to the Japanese, but I wonder whether people from other cultures see it that way, because if I wanted something I would ask for it. If I didn't want something I wouldn't ask for it. So if someone gave me some tea after my meal without me asking for it I would think, Why have they given me some tea when I don't want any tea?

[@harrysusanto6911]

play music james blunt, while listening you :)

[@pekinobo]

Get a japanese friend, it will be the best thing you ever done. Be safe.

[@Nipponing]

Haha, your eyes are more open when you wear your glasses. It's not as cute as before but it's good for u. ^^

[@FUBAR956]

Myself and Americans in general should act more like this. To think about the others is difficult when most people are thinking only of themselves. In our Christian bible Jesus said, "Do onto others as you would have them do onto you." This is what he meant, to think about the others.

[@JoshSaysStuff]

...Okay then? You don't have to get an attitude over nothing. I was just saying that something that seems like hospitality can come across as ill-mannered. I wasn't insulting Japan. I love Japan. I was just saying that it doesn't seem like hospitality across all cultures. You don't have to get offended over some random person's KZbin comment. Calm down.

[@OSILVEROBULLETO]

Damn, I'm lucky to get the proper amount of change handed to me after an exchange in the US, let alone someone counting it out for me. I guess that's why Japanese are considered smarter, lol.

[@niqenik]

面白い。ありがとう。(^_^)

[@lennyleone468]

You're are a funny girl. You made me laugh.

[@TheNewthingstv]

私は日本に移動する必要があるかのように私は感じる！

[@weewilly2007]

How do u say bullshit in Japanese?

[@komori841]

(¥▽¥)　Thanks!

[@Nipponing]
