12 Things NOT to do in Japan

Don't record a DEAD BODY

"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".

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!

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.

I'd like to see the Japanese SWAT team carefully removing their shoes and moving into slippers before infiltrating.

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."

If there's one thing i like about Japanese culture, it's their hygiene.

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

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

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.

The Japanese are so gracious and forgiving! I loved my time there!!

"Maybe my cat is dead". He was trying to teach you quantum physics.

as a Japanese living in America, when my friends walk into the house with shoes on, im like “WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?”

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.
