- What do foreigners commonly struggle with in Japan? Have they had any culture shocks? Have they faced discrimination/racism?
In this video we're going to see what types of dificulties foreigners face when living in Japan. We were able to interview many people from around the globe. The interviewees included of people from: France, America/Italy, Spain, Czech Republic, Belgium, Thailand, and Korea (guy from BTS?). There are currently so many international people from Europe, Asia, and USA coming to visit Japan, so let me know if you guys want to see similar content to this!
Thank you guys so much for the support, it really means a lot!

Super underrated but these vids are so educational. thank you!
Helpful information, for my upcoming Japan trip! Thank you!
Japan is one of the safest countries.
Why should we push “ Diversity “ on them when it had clearly failed in the UK and US.
japanese judge foreigners too easily. i know their culture.
racism is a norm in monoethnic countries
Unfortunately, because racism shouldn't be normal in anywhere. My country has racism too, but here is crime. There is a battle against racism and xenophobia. We receive many people from Asia, Africa and Latin America. Everyone should feel at home here. ❤
It is true that closed civilizations, which have limited contact with foreigners, may naturally exhibit a tendency to reject and feel uncomfortable with unfamiliar behaviors. This reaction is a human response and not an inherently malicious or fabricated trait. A similar phenomenon can be observed when comparing tourist cities, which regularly receive visitors from different cultures, to smaller interior cities that rarely encounter foreigners.
As it should be.
That's the excuse. Not all of them are. So many poor countries are monoethnic, go there and report on the racism you'll experience.
@@wesmo_ Unfamiliar behavior such as helping others, yeah, lol.
Great video and interesting people being interviewed. Might want to make the subtitles smaller though.
Thanks for the tip!
Sounds like an introvert paradise ❤🎉🎉
i'll sub just bc of the beach house outro :)
The ONE PIECE IS REALLLLLLLLLL
I just visited Japan and the train thing happened to me twice. 😂 i was like "dang, i know ive been hiking all day, but do i really smell that bad???" 😂
Japanese are so kind 😇in another country. But when you go there are not😕
I am learning Japanese and this channel helps practicing my reading a lot.
Thanks!
Happy to hear that!
Takashii from Japan looks a little different here
🤣
3:30 Priceless xD
i like the fits, and the video! i r8 8/8 m8
Not in all Europe public transport is late, in Czech it's 99% in time and with small gaps between 😁
Netherlands Public transport is fairly on time as well, busses are often planned in wrong so it does help to ask the driver for help. You can often miss the next bus or train because of this issue if you don't ask. In the most touristy area there is no real problem, but if you visit other areas of the country it could mean waiting 1 hour or sometimes even more. So do ask.
Also the bus driver is not afraid to help you out with other things regarding your journey if they can.
Not all transportation in Japan is on time either. Sure, the trains in Tokyo are on time, but the buses are often late; and go out into rural areas and the trains and buses are both late all the dang time. They also have a ton of disruptions due to weather events such as typhoons, landslides, etc.
Yeah in Germany it‘s on time too if we talk about local transportation (trams, busses and subways), only trains are mostly late. And trains during Tokyo rush hour are late all the time too. It‘s really annoying when people generalize things like that. Talking about Europe like it‘s a single country also gets on my nerves.
I always hear that Japanese are shy and I don’t understand why not build the courage up, but I’m Mexican and we’re all loud and outspoken
They're not shy. They don't want anything to do with foreigners who looks out of place.
I think they misunderstand the meaning of shy and they excuse a lot of bad behaviors with it.
Ich bin gespannt 😔
They are telling those things which is happening with any foreigners sometimes in every country 😅😅

I've been to Japan 3x, I didn't experience it.. Rather, I experienced with coworkers when I used to work at a Japanese restaurant. It was not bad, but it is hard to make friends with Japanese lol.
Probably cause their culture is so utterly closed off. I don't understand how anyone in Japan is happy living like this.
@@MontChevalier Don't try to project your expections on them. They are happy, stop trying to change others.
@@wesmo_ You would think that's what I'm doing, but this opinion is based off of what's been told by people who live in Japan. Are you telling me that the Japanese are wrong about how they feel?
@@MontChevalier They aren't. That's why most of them are drug abusers.
@@wesmo_so should the racism or whatever people call it when it happens in Japan continue?
It seems like blending in and social modesty are very important in japan. But I notice many foreigners seem to be oblivious to this.
Hate to break it you you don't have to be a foreigner in a country to experience racism. In fact its most likely to be worse than that of a foreigner, many people feel that racism and violence to those born in their own countries doesn't actually count as racism.
india in a nutshell
It‘s not a competition, racism and discrimination is always bad. Whether you‘re a foreigner, black, asian, white, male, female, trans it really doesn‘t matter. All people should be treated with respect. But I do get your point. Btw your point is also valid for Japan, there are Japanese citizens living in Japan who get discriminated because they have foreign origins (mostly Korean or Chinese), or because they‘re poor, or because they have a disability. It‘s a big problem in Japan and almost nobody wants to talk about it unfortunately.
Can someone please read me in detail? can i have your attention? i have been asking myself these questions for years. i really like japan in its landscapes, products and aesthetics, but i have a deep aversion and disgust for its people, because i have not learned anything good about their culture. it seems like cowardice and hypocrisy with their "tatemae". it is more excessive than in other countries. they think they can avoid conflicts this way but not with people like me ,i am not fooled.
how can i respect their culture if they are all like that? How can i trust them and hear their honesty? don't ask me to learn fluently their language for years, it is too demanding and difficult. what are the chances of meeting japanese people ready to show their honesty and emotions , very slim of course? until i have answers, i will remain racist until the end of my days. I'm sick of these people who say that we should learn Japanese, just because they are smiling, polite and force themselves to help people they don't know.
Wow, TH-cam has really killed my desire to visit Japan.
その気持ちのまま一生を過ごしてください、日本の為です
@@yuta.7319 Wow, so you're one of the assholes this video is about. Good to know.
I need to install the Japanese public bath. And fast! And ofc this is not a place for any other foreigner rather than myself!

The discrimination that occurs in Japan is nothing compared to the discrimination against Japanese people who have gone overseas.
It’s true😂ふざけんなよな
Loooool it is true belgian public transport is awfull
I wouldn't call it racism, but rather a healthy and justified distrust of strangers and their appearance and behavior. The mere fact that 6,635 crimes were committed by the American occupying forces alone. Including the most serious crimes such as murder and rape, the youngest victim was a fourteen-year-old girl who was brutally raped by 4 American soldiers and died as a result. There is hardly any prosecution. If you look at some videos from Japan and see how some foreign tourists behave and the damage they sometimes cause, I admire the Japanese patience to endure this. You should always keep in mind that you are just a guest in this country. As soon as I enter this country, I automatically submit to the laws and rules and, especially in Japan, have to exercise absolute restraint. That without any ifs or buts. It would perhaps be appropriate for the Japanese government and the tourism industry in Japan to fundamentally rethink and revise their concept. It would also be appropriate to drastically increase and expand the penalties for tourists who misbehave. High prison sentences, high fines and expulsion should be reconsidered. One should also keep in mind that Japan is an almost closed society, sometimes with rules and rites that seem foreign to us. What we may perceive as racism is a completely normal reaction from the Japanese. Look at the chaos in the USA and Europe, maybe the Japanese don't want it to end like this?! An example from Germany, here it can happen if you publicly say that you are proud to be German and fly the German flag and claim and prove that there are only two genders, all hell breaks loose and there is a risk of criminal consequences. Anyone who knows Berlin and has to see how tourists move and behave almost every day may understand the Japanese, who certainly don't want to have such conditions.
like watching such videos so i can enjoy thing never happening to me in japan xD
budget jimin lol
What happened with "respects all cutlures" rules that the left all preach? Funny that this rule only applies to white americans regarding foreigners in America.
Yes because they are not asians
We call it xenophobic and cowardly, but yeah, nice lol.
there is no such thing as racism.. only classism.. if the foreigners are celebrities.. they will get treated like family
This video was about the Japanese, but you are speaking CAPanese right now
@@johnjackson9751 I am not a white guy from america who likes to use low-income black youth urban-lingo.. so I dont know what CAP means
does that mean you agree with me or disagree with me?
again.. sorry for not being cool
@@KpopIsDead69 You just wrote you don’t understand, but you can identify what the word as being “black urban lingo”. Don’t contradict yourself. Not surprised you would write something foolish like that, given your first comment. I never said I was white, and even if I were, that has nothing to do with the point that you are untruthful. Do better for yourself, rid your mind of ignorance and your heart of hate. Bye.
@@KpopIsDead69 Cap means a lie, No cap mean the truth no idea how it started
Racism definitely exists, but you are kinda on to something. There was a case where a foreign comedian (forgot the name, too lazy to google) went to the fish market in Tokyo and tried to enter a toilet. A worker stopped him and told him that the toilet was for „Japanese only“, but after a few seconds he recognized his face and literally told him „ah you‘re famous, so you can enter“. What‘s even worse is that the foreign celebrity later went to twitter and apologized for causing „confusion“.
And to further develop your point, it was always funny to me how Japanese people love to listen to foreign songs, watch foreign movies, use English in a lot of marketing materials and use a lot of foreign products, but mostly treat foreigners like second class citizens once they arrive in Japan. Sometimes I don‘t know which is worse, the actual racism, or the hypocrisy. But yeah, I think a lot of it is classism too. Japanese people from poor backgrounds often get discriminated too.
You had to add " " to that girl's very real concern? That's not respectful at all. You were the one who came to her and asked. The heck man?
People seem to go to Japan without the knowledge of the word xenophobia or term identity crisis then think "it will be okay". The saddest is when I see USA people go there then get ignored or chased out of stores wondering what happened when their own country's century long stretch of racism towards skin color and past is a massive indicator.
Probably because that racist behavior is in the past and is no longer acceptable and none of the "USA people" you're talking about have ever experienced or committed racist acts of exclusion. Also those sane people have been brainwashed into thinking America is the worst most racist place ever. So OBVIOUSLY other more civilized countries would be better and wouldn't dio such things. It's always funny how foreign people criticize the US and have no idea how Americans actually think. You've seen movies, TV shows and TH-cam, you don't actually know what the situation is like on the ground here.
The younger generations of Americans are unprepared, naive, and less adept at handling diverse and opposing traits and behaviors. Consequently, they may be more inclined to react strongly against anything that challenges their narrow view of society.
It's their country. Not yours. You adopt to their way of life. Not to yours.
how is she black and french at the same time?
What is so special about it? French is a nationality, not a genetic group.
Did you thought that black people only exist in Africa ? 💀
Time to get off the internet lil bro
Touch grass.
You need to get out more. There are Black people that are born and live in France, You must be trolling.
Jesus Christ is coming soon repent of your sins and turn to him before it's too late
