My Japanese wife, 10 years ago when we dated in college, was surprised when I had a random conversation with a stranger. She asked me who it was and I told her I didn’t know. The look on her face was priceless.
Are you latino or have some latino roots? cause it always amaze me when I shee latinos marrying japanese people since the aparent huge cultural differences
I hate it especially in a mall and the people are walking slow,then just stop so I can’t get by and have to stop too. I sometimes sigh loud and say excuse me a bit testy just to get by. Super annoying and rude!
The point is - they won't accept that other people are different - only that other people are WRONG, because they are the chosen people and all cultural differences are invalid. (The Chinese appear to feel much the same way about China since their recent 'victory' over covid.....my my, isn't that one coming home to roost.)
I always tidy my eating spots, comes from being a waitress and having to clean up after others. I always found it easier to bus a table when they kept it stacked and tidy. I've also seen some absolutely disgusting tables, makes me wonder what kinda mess is in their house.(Also American)
The Same Japanese will watch you get harrassed or assualted without helping you AND THEN tell the police it was all your fault because they were supposedly "taught manners" in elementary school and would never harrass foreigners (meanwhile- *Search:* "I got spit on in Japan" and know that for every ONE video you find- there were already like 5 others ones like it)
@SSS Before you read my reply- please know that I am one of the folks who *liked* your comment- because it is absolutely TRUE! onto my reply: With one exception- America doesn't presume to take pride in teaching their kids, manners, discipline and courtesy and then condone their bullying behavior towards others. Never in America will you see a talk show host tell a girl she "looks to chubby for his taste" and then have the comment be condoned because "that's his standard of beauty" Sadly, many Americans don't give a shit about teaching their kids right from wrong and will stand behind their misogyny, or rascism or bigotry- but Japan pretends to be better but acts the same (which is why I totally agree, it sounds just like America). My stance is, if you're going to teach your kids to have manners and have compassion, then enforce it as well- cause when you don't, you're a hypocrite for looking down on other countries *ahem- AMERICA* that don't even bother to try.
Heyyy, I have a question 😁 if you guys like don't talk to anyone on the streets how do you meet new people? Are you guys kinda extroverts on parties? I mean like club. Thanks for your time😁👊
carlos vargas Talking with ppl next to me on the queue in music live, talking with someone next to me in sport stadium, talking with some in bowling game place, so many place, cherry boy😎
@Gammy Leddack well xD if I dont know the language the person its talking to me, I prefere just go away xD because I only will make that person more lost.
@Coley Durham Nobody authentically believes that but subconsciously people are prejudice by nature. Therefore it's important not to make a bad impression for yourself and your fellow ethnicity/nationality.
as someone thats been in food service for years, i can honestly say the cleaning up after yourself when your done eating thing is something that is appreciated anywhere. It makes the waiter/waitress' job easier and is just a simple way of being kind
When I was a kid my mom would comment on me trying to tidy up my scraps in a restaurant with “Do you work here?” but I always saw it as basic manners lol
I've always cleaned up after myself and one time I made the mistake of eating with a group of 8 friends. I felt terrible when they kept judging me for cleaning and so I didn't do it then. (I do it when it's just a few closer friends since they understand it :D )
They will put up with all of the tourists b/c they know that most of them do not know or understand the culture. (unless they have done prior research)
That's East Asian culture not only Japan. But many Japanese are refusing to wear masks during Covid19. That's why their infection rate is skyrocketing compare to other East Asian countries. Not enough testing too. Also many infected people are getting harassed even people in the medical fields are discriminated.
@@delluminatis True, he does, but they are trivial. I was expecting something along the lines of "foreigners keep stealing our women", or "african americans and blond/blue eyed germans tend to play bad guys in movies", not a simple list of the trivial differences in general culture. If this is why Japanese "don't like foreigners", then japanese are rather judgemental. (and the reason behind that would have made a better video)
@Ken narville Many cities bid on it, also it's not the country as a whole, it's the cities once again, and a lot of them do it. They tend to see it as a way to boost tourism and as a display or wealth and power in some cases. For Japan, I think it's mostly the tourism angle and it could also be to get foreigners excited about Japan. As much as there is the whole "Japan hates foreigners", the current politics of Japan recognize they are struggling with the whole drop in birth rates, and need foreigners to fill the void. Also, most Japanese that live in places that have a lot of exposure to foreigners don't hate foreigners, might get annoyed with some foreigners, but they're not as xenophobic as they once were, but it is still present. I think much of the Japanese government wants to get foreigners excited for Japan, and they hope to bring in foreigners from countries that seem more "desirable" to them, like the US/Canada/Australia, and the wealthier European nation. Right now they bring in some South East Asians for low wage jobs and treat the migrant workers pretty poorly, to the point that many of these young migrants break down and return home. This is all based off my understanding, so take it with a grain of salt.

My daughter is an autistic person and hates breaking rules. She loves regimented life, so Japan always seemed like a dream for her and for us to provide to her. Turns out her college studies will lead her there next year in the form of a foreign studies program. I am so excited for her to realize this dream. Please remember to keep positive vibes, because the universe will return that same energy to you.
LOL im autistic too and honestly japan (having been born and brought up there) is great to me . sadly i came to us and only visit now 😢 i want to come back to live there when i am older
Me too. I think Japan's great for many of us. BTW we don't say "high- functioning" anymore. It's ableist and unsupported by the literature. You can say eg "low support". Lots of info online.
I'm Japanese. These are usually right on target. But sometimes there are foreigners who misunderstand Japanese, so I'd like to take this opportunity to say that Japanese basically like foreigners. How can we hate people who love our country? In Japan, there is no such thing as cultural theft, and we are very happy to see foreigners wearing kimonos. I've never heard the term "cultural theft" before from a foreigner. So thank you for being a fan of Japan. And I sincerely welcome anyone who respects Japanese culture and manners. ⚠️I am Japanese and I am talking about basic Japanese personality, Non-Japanese people should not dismiss my opinions without basis. Prejudice, in particular, breeds misunderstanding. I'm talking about 80% Japanese. I am not saying that 100% of Japanese people like foreigners.
Just one thing, for anyone going to Japan, unless you are going to a formal event, I wouldn’t recommend wearing a kimono. Yukatas are more common for everyday use, I believe.
Actually walking while wearing a half face mask is also good enough to avoid trouble. Apparently being 6ft tall and having a slightly built up body (gym) while wearing a mask is enough to scare even punks into ignoring you when you accidentally walk in bad neighborhoods. When I say bad neighborhoods I mean literally people talking about stabbing others while some of them do drugs in public.
While there are exceptions, we unfortunately don't have a very honorable way about us in military conflicts. We did just as bad to the German people, if not worse.
True. Exactly the way I was raised and therefor I had no problems in Japan at all. One story: while riding the subway Ginza line in Tokyo I watched an American tourist (sort of looked like an American) boldly man spreading in his short shorts and hiking gear, blocking the way with his huge back pack (oh one of these..), and he got his take away food out, starts eating, drinking, crumbs flying everywhere, dropping greasy paper wrapping... I just watched the Japanese. I think they wished he would drop dead and vanish in an instant. They hated him - a lot. Just don't do it. Don't eat where you are not supposed to eat, don't litter, don't annoy people, be polite.
@@frauleintrude6347 Lol manspreading, no one in Japan actually cares about that. Only feminist foreign women actually care about that. Yes probably if if he was being a messy slob that's rude, but eating on trains is allowed unlike in the US.
When I visited Japan, Japanese often were approching me and asking questions like "Where are you from?" and "Do you like Japan". I have mostly positive experiences with locals and felt very welcome. :-)
This might sound so racist but are you white? I’m brown and my family is planning to come to Japan to take a vacation but I’m worried I might get judged for my skin. Will people judge me because I’m brown? Just curious I want to tell my mom before going there I don’t want strangers to stare at me.
@@707-o7t Yes I'm Caucasian. But they were curious and some might have stared at me, because I'm a "gaijin" obviously (Tall and red hair). I don't think they will judge you, because you are dark-skinned. Often it's not the look but the behavior you show, like breaking their rules or beeing impolite (also unintended), what makes them judge. They are usually nice to tourists. It would be something entirely different, if you live in Japan. I've heard it's difficult for some people with dark skin color. Which is unfortunate. I hope you won't get judged or anything else when you visit Japan and you can enjoy your stay. If you are feeling stared at, then don't take it to your heart. It might be curiousity only.
@@707-o7t Most people really won’t bother you, since Japan is a very respectful place, as long as you stay in line and do your research on etiquette, you’ll be just fine.
@Daemisa Naervil why do you think that? I didn't feel used and I didn't feel like an attraction. To me it was their way to communicate and maybe to practice their scarce English skills. But for me it was the same then. I wanted to communicate with locals and practice my Japanese. By the way I meet a Japanese couple in Tokyo, who just asked from which country I am etc. At the end we talked for 3 hours, walked through half Ueno, had some beer and snacks and sharing phone numbers. That was 3 years ago and we are still in contact since. So I'm glad they've approached me then. So don't call me naive for whatever reason, especially because you don't know me and don't know my experiences with Japanese in detail.
The people who live in bubbles. There are so many customs unique to Japan that foreigners, especially western, would initially perceive them as suffocating and lacking in hospitality.
Ken narville Wait, Japanese don’t like foreigners? That makes no sense, I mean it’s not like we detonated the largest bombs ever used in any war in all of history right on top of two of their largest cities filled with civilians during WW2 or anything...
We Japanese DO like foreigners, especially those who come to and enjoy Japan:( I understand the title should be attracting one but I’m really sad to see this title and it should be changed... We just don’t like bad manners, and this definitely doesn’t mean we don’t like foreigners.
*Only if they are tourists I have Japanese simply exclude me from everywhere online when they figured out I was a foreigner (which can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours b/c of my poor Japanese skills).
aoeu256 That’s true... I feel sorry for what you’ve experienced. I think such Japanese just felt a kind of anxiety for speaking English. and I hope things will go well with you if you’re still working on Japanese :)
あいうえお I think it depends, because many foreigners often do not have the same standards of manners. Like I personally would like us to have the same standards of Japan in Canada but frankly that’s not going to happen.
John Johnovich Yes, I see your point. Japanese put more emphasis on obeying the rules or manners than people from other countries. What I wanted to say is, Japanese themselves understand the fact stated above so that they don't care much about foreigners (especially tourists) indifferent about manners or something unless such people break the rules intentionally.
All the same same things that piss off the Japanese, as far as tourists go, seem to be the exact same things that piss me off and I'm Portuguese. Every single thing that you pointed out was just common sense based. We just like manners; basic manners and civic behavior are essential to living together in society; if we don't have them we are as good as monkeys. Civilized behavior seems to be their only requirement and I'm all for it, it's really not much to ask. That's probably why the Japanese have never been anything but the nicest to me, both inside and outside Japan. It seems like simply being well mannered, conducting oneself with dignity and self-respect, and having the exact same idea of what that means, is what's behind it. The more I hear about Japanese people, and the more I personally socialize with them, the more I feel the meaning of the term tribe. The Japanese truly are my spirit people.
I'd like to add: Japanese culture tend not to disturb other people as much as possible, they respect people's privacy and they expect the same from others around them, that's why you see their trains, streets, even shopping malls are very quiet (except in shop commercial music). But, if they see you in trouble, they will most likely offer you help.
Also make sure you look Japanese, follow hierarchy and rules even if they don't make sense or are discriminatory, never seek professional help with psychological issues, hide problems instead of recognising and dealing with them directly. Oh and remember to support Japan being a one race country that is very different from other cultures on earth and emerged from a special offshoot of genetically superior humans. Join a school system that discourages critical thinking, teaches that being different is a bad thing, and prizes standardized test scores as the highest measure of intelligence. Did you know Japan has four distinct seasons and that the country is very safe, even though crime is grossly underreported, the intentional death rate is higher than most developed countries, over 99% of refugees are rejected every year, and it ranks low amongst OECD countries in the World Happiness Report? Accept these benefits and more, then you'll be okay!
@Newromantic999 what the fuck are you trying to say? If you can't type English then don't bother replying, oh and by the way look up the meaning of sarcasm.....you just made yourself look like the stupidest person on the planet. Hahahahaha!!!
While this isn't exactly specific to Japan, It is the most prevalent in Japan. It can be extremely difficult to accurately gauge how favorably a Japanese person does or does not think of you. Most people in Japan will treat most or everyone kindly and politely, even if they don't like them. Read about Face in Japan. It's a matter of creating and always showing the best image for yourself, and part of that means always being polite and respectful towards everyone, even if, and especially if you don't like them.
Essentially what I take out of this is foreigners are unappreciated because they simply don't understand the culture and its norms. Thats simple to work around, you just gotta learn the ways. Videos like this help. Im from the states and have an interest in traveling to Japan someday. I've been studying the language some and hope to know enough to get by when I do go.
Unfortunately, even if you do follow their cultural norms, they will always carry a hostile sentiment against foreigners. It got pretty depressing because I always felt like an outcast with nobody to talk to and I eventually decided to go back to my home town. Then again this was just my personal experience and i hope you have a much better time in Japan.
@Kemm Miarvil Why don't you stop getting offended by the most meaningless shit and just answer the question? I wasn't implying anything about you being Asian, I just want to know what country you are from, so that I can determine whether you have a respectable reason to hate them.
@Kemm Miarvil Kemm, if only you would include this last bit of information in your other anti-Japan comments, people wouldn't say bad things about you. It's totally understandable. I live in Japan, and the uptight way of life is suffocating.
@Kemm Miarvil Hating an entire country along with their people is just wrong. It would fall into racism. Their culture is different from your and you need to respect that. They have their way of living and you have your. It doesn't suit you then don't go there. I don't like US culture where people have too much freedom, kids don't listen to their parents, old people are put into nursing homes, people freely have sex and live together without being married,etc. but I don't say that I hate the US and Americans. Their way of living just doesn't suit me even though I am currently living there.
ThatOneAsianBroChick Yup. Also Ash Ketchum is technically Japanese because his name is Satoshi. :D Also Brock (Takashi. Right?) and Misty. And Jessie and James from Team Rocket. (Forgot their original Japanese names 😅)
So, my husband is Japanese and we used to live there, in a city called Nagoya. I'm surprised by the squatting thing. My husband and I would squat directly outside 7-eleven to eat (only feet touching the floor). We've also seen lots of other Japanese people doing the same while they eat what they've just bought. He often says it's what you have to do when you buy convenience store food like onigiri because there are no bins in public, so you have to eat just outside the store and dispose of the rubbish immediately. It's also impolite to eat while walking, so eating while standing or squatting outside Lawson or 7-eleven or Family Mart is the best option on-the-go.
It is perfect here, I don't have to interact with anyone. I can just go from place to place without bothering anyone or making myself nervous. Internet gaming Cafes are perfect for introverts. I am a germophobe also.
@@Genmurasaki at least they do not do small talk to every damn strangers , as Indonesian myself, it was so tiring when a stranger at the street suddenly ask you something private ( i.e What's your job? What's your religion? ) And if you didnt answer that stranger question, you'd be considered as Rude and anti social person. Seriously the level of extrovertness of Indonesian on another level

Its not just karens, americans in general are entitled. I wonder how "joggers" would do in japanese prisons after all. @Wing Mak Its a simple rule, the more group cognitive diversity one introduces into a society, the more unequal it becomes. For the love of god, don't make our mistake.
Yeah, I live in America and it is also rude to leave the table like that (at least in Ohio it is) and when people do that they are seen as "ghetto" and lacking manners. I don't understand why anyone would do it anyways.
It isn't really for me, I live in Canada ans we don't leave food everywhere and napkins but like we don't HAVE to and it isn't considered bad manners. If it's really messy sure, its rude but for me it isn't a huge deal.
It's blowing my mind, that SO many things said in this video are relatable as in Germany. I as a german hate when people randomly talk to me etc. I mean, yes- you can ask for directions or if you are lost in wich street you are, but overall we germans also like our own space. Even in the train when there are not many people inside the train, people do sit on the seats but always one seat apart.
@@goos6005 Why? My place is quiet, you prolly chose the wrong locations? Hygiene too, eat at better places? India is cheap af, why'd you wanna go for street food if the sight of people touching food without gloves turn you off? In decent restaurants, you'd prolly find better food than most 3rd world countries.
@@Hiyorin871 nah, I was in Japan before and ride on a train.. Students were loud as well which shocked us, as they were known to be silent. Also, younger Japanese sits on trains sleeping getting a lottt of space..
Amazing…I have never seen a foreigner who understands the characteristics of Japanese people as well as you. To put it simply, there are two characteristics of Japanese people: "You must understand the atmosphere around you" and "You must not forget to be considerate of others." Furthermore, we Japanese have a lot of respect for foreigners, so we are very tolerant of their behavior!
I appreciate Japan for what it is, but I'm tired of these naive people who talk about its inhabitants as being absolute angels. I never learned anything good about these people. In particular, I once met a cowardly and arrogant Japanese girl who refuses to admit the many problems of her compatriots, who asked me to learn her language but what if I don't speak it well enough? don't ask me to learn it for years. don't ask me not to watch these videos either. I will only calm down if someone reasonably explains their culture to me. and why they do not admit the cultural problems of their compatriots.
there are something that I don't understand, that irritate me the most about Japanese people. every time I say on YT that they are like robotic automatons who refuse to show feelings and emotions to us, there are weeaboos who tell me "naaaaah, they show them if you get to know them" but how can we know them exactly if they're all overly hypocritical? how can we be nice? and don't talk about learning their language for ten years until you speak it perfectly! and what to do if it is spoken badly? go see elsewhere, right? Until someone reasonably explains to me how we can convince these people to be more natural with us, I will continue to call these people "bad"!
@@Smoogway I mean, people from the US specificaly, as tourists are annoying in a lot of country. Idk, but there is a trend of them being obnoxious and speaking loudly.
Never been to Japan, but I totally agree with the cleaning after you eat. Its just common courtesy and the waiter doesn't want to clean up the disaster you made. Be kind people
THIS. I'm American, and honestly it bothers me so much when people leave a huge mess behind for the waiter. Just because someone is paid to clean the booth for the next person doesn't mean you shouldn't clean up after yourself. The worst is when they leave like snotty tissues and things.
A. Wyatt Mann Interesting how you classify my sensitivity as a pattern although before now I’ve only said a sentence. Usually patterns are traits that you observe over time. That’s besides the point. Please don’t use an experience or a stereotype that you have noticed to refer to all black people as a whole. And when you say black peoples you probably should be careful with your word choice, because usually black americans behave that way. This conversation might have been extremely futile if you don’t even attempt to understand my perspective. Thank you.
as a foreigner living in japan... i can say the best way to sum up what you can expect in japan... japanese people are polite, they are not friendly. they value respect and acting "proper". generally speaking, they will only be social or friendly in service situations (at restaurants, hotel hosts, etc). very very rare to have any contact at all outside of that. i typically feel ignored or silently judged.
@Drann Nervial that's dumb. Culture changes throughout the years. Hating them for this is as stupid as you being hated for your cultural's backwards thoughts
Go to a nomihoudai, I do it all the time and loads of random Japanese people want to talk and drink with me. I think for Japanese people the decision of whether to interact depends very much on the social context. They have different personalities for different situations. Then again, several Japanese people have struck up conversations with me randomly in the street, and some strangers I see regularly (shop workers etc.) smile and make conversation beyond simple politeness. I'd add that most Japanese avoid displaying negativity, so won't make it obvious how they feel about someone they're interacting with. Because of that, they avoid interacting too much with strangers for fear of bothering the other person. I think it's a form of politeness in Japanese culture. Good manners, deference and humility also go a hell of a long way to being liked in Japan.
When i was lost in Tokyo station a very young girl missed her train on purpose to show me where i needed to be, then while walking the nakasendo (sp?) trail i forget the name of the place but it was a beautiful Edo period town in some hills and elderly local dragged me into his tea house for a chat... hours later after a long round of broken english chit chat we parted ways, very friendly.. like some have said here, Tokyo is not 'japan', nor does everyone in the country fit a formula, and i could say the same for the month of hell i spent in china.
I was looking at a restaurant in Tokyo two years ago. It was a very small restaurant and a Michelin starred one. I arrived in the area 45 minutes in advance so as not to be late but we couldn't find the restaurants after 30 minutes. Then I entered a bar and asked the barman if the restaurant was in that street. He literally went out with me and help me search for the restaurant in the area and we arrived there just in time. I was blown away by their kindness but embarassed too at the moment xD
A high school student missed his train to go home just to show us the way to our hotel in Osaka. I can't remember how many times I said sorry and thank you but I think it was a lot
lol you are probably white. They didn’t want to serve me at a restaurant. I sat there for a whole hour with my friend and they didn’t even come to our table.
No way! we love foreigners, we are just shy. We don’t hate being asked the directions on the street by stranger, but just most of us get panicked coz not used to talk with foreigner. When Japanese people look mad, most of the time they are actually confusing or being shy.
Love them? Nah... One mistake and that's it. You don't know forgiveness because you can't deal with conflict so you flee. (Not saying you all really hate them but...)
Yup.. I've been through same case here.. One of the guy said I was late while I was on time. After that I've half an hour margin if I'm meeting any Japanese in particular
because she's not really on time. u have to be there earlier than the designated time. once your time begins, you should already be in the process of working. if they dont have these strict guidlines, they wouldnt have became prosperous, especially after losing WW II.
I'm very introverted and generally don't talk to strangers whether it is waiting in line or just going about my business so the Japanese not being particularly fond of having conversations with random strangers and having their boundaries invaded is not exactly something that would bother me. In fact, I would feel very much at home with that. I don't really like loud people either. I think I would do just fine in Japan.
It all begins with ourselves, me in my case when I get a cold I used them all the time, idrc if people think I'm weird because I'm caring for others. 🤗
Funny thing is.. Masks are only effective for a certain amount of time. Like 15mins then have to replace it. Bacteria spreads fast on the mask's surface. But i guess with mask is better than no mask. ^^;
@@jayep.6363 : Well, I guess, the answer there, would be to have several of these and wash them out periodically. Maybe if they were made more, colourful and trendy more, people would be willing to wear them. Personally, I think it's insanely, selfish for people to be more, concerned about their looks rather than keeping themselves and others healthy. Just keep pushing for this thing to catch on and maybe, eventually, it will. My Best. Out.
@Maru Wafu : If people learn to be more, friggen, responsible with their health, maybe, they would not get sick in the first place, to pass it on to others. I see people in my neck of the woods who under dress in the fall time, as many are doing now, they get chills, then get colds, then carelessly, spread that shit to others. I wish to frig, people could learn to stop being so selfish and self centered all the time. It's not much different than people trashing everything, all the time, when there are garbage containers close by or they can have a bag to put their trash in until they get to a public, garbage container. But no, what do these cunts do, they take their food and drink with them and when they're done throw the leftovers, wrappings, cups, what have you, down wherever they may be. A park, the sidewalk, on buses, wherever they may be. It drives me mental. Overall, people sicken me. Sorry, but most do. Out.
s!CKman oh yea that’s true for me. I only have a few close friends here even when I can speak the language, and people are generally friendly...I do enjoy being alone. I feel exhausted at parties. But just sometime may need someone to accompany me when eating out in restaurants😉
After decades of US (NYC) life, I have found myself "Japanese" when I get mad at people who are't wearing masks and caughing hard LOL Great videos, I truly enjoyed it.
Ken narville I’m seeing you everywhere ranting on Japan. Did you have a bad experience or something? Mugged by the mob there? Like dang, what’s with the hate my guy. Because you don’t sound like the kind of guy who would visit there.
Yes when I lived in Panama City Beach Fla I hated tourists, especially the young twenty somethings. Its like they expected things out of you like automatically knowing what the restaurant down the street served cause they didn't want to eat at yours cause it was to expensive. Me - "Get the fuck outta here!!!" So I get it, especially when dumbass people just had no consideration or common sense about anything!
Thank you for alerting foreign tourists. At the same time, I was reminded once again that as Japanese people, we must strictly follow the rules of our own country.
I’m Japanese-American but I love talking to strangers, so I can imagine that if I ever went to Japan they’d see me and be confused as to why one of their fellow citizens won’t shut up
They'll still consider you as foreigner even tho you're half blood, one of my friend is half blood who live in Japan for years and having Japanese citizenship, the neighborhood still calling her as foreigners instead of Japanese
It’s usually a case by case basis. I’m half and people usually are surprised when I say I’m a half, but that’s mostly because I’m very socially awkward so yeah.

@OriginalName, Wearing masks, in American culture, is not customary. It used to be, you only saw this in a healthcare setting. Now due to the pandemic, people are not in agreement about ALL OF AMERICA, wearing a mask, ESPECIALLY, if you are NOT sick. In pandemic times, everyone, sick or not, is encouraged or mandated, to wear a mask, which still is a cause for debate and strong disagreement. We thought Japanese, or Asians in general, wore masks due to the smog/pollution. Before pandemic that is.
@@goodmeasure777 because you don’t KNOW if you have the virus or not. If everyone KNEW they had the virus there wouldn’t be 26.2M + more cases in the US right now
I don't find it strange at all it's just a cultural thing, despite the Japanese not necessarily hating outsiders but they have no love for them either, I have allot of respect for them and think the west could learn something's from japan
on one hand their culture ends up being very respectful but on the other hand, individuality is stamped out and conformity is heavily encouraged and even enforced. this is a country that used to more or less force kids with naturally light hair to dye their hair black until somewhat recently. now they have to get a doctor's note proving that their hair is naturally brown. it all just depends on whether you're ok with trading in some personal freedom in exchange for a well oiled machine of a society. and i honestly wouldn't blame you if you did. japan is a beautiful country. super clean, polite people (even if only out of courtesy), fantastic service even at fast food areas.
I'm an American and 2 of the things listed here completely tick me off too. The first is people being late, which I developed from my mother almost always being late by hours when i was growing up. Nothing better than waiting on the curb for 2 hours cause mom said "she'd pick me up after school," and the one day I got fed up she was just getting ready to leave when I got home. The second is people who just randomly stop in the middle of the path. It's like come on people the least you could do is move to the side, or move to a place where you can get out of traffic. You don't need all 5 of your family members to stop in the one exact chokepoint of the path and force other pedestrians into the street.
The worst are two or more people walking abreast on a sidewalk that is not wide enough for everyone and they expect you to step off the sidewalk to make way for all of them because no one will give you room to keep walking on the sidewalk. If you don't step out of their way, they will sometimes hit you with their arm as they go by especially if the person is obviously bigger than you are. This is actually a form of bullying by a stranger.
@@glazed6098 It's because there's a strong hatred of homeless people in Japan, someone sitting on the ground may look like they have nowhere to be and have very little money. Is it stuck up? Yes, very.
I’m Japanese. I feel sorry for tourists and foreigners in japan because most Japanese can’t speak English fluently. I’m so happy to see foreigners who like Japan, but I worry that they might be disappointed with the unfriendliness and whirl of city. As mentioned here, it’s part of culture. We don’t mean to hurt their feelings. We think We’d better not interfere with someone. Anyway, we’re soooo glad to find foreigners are interested in Japan :) plz be careful because summer in here is much more humid than you think !!
To be completely honest, I may be considered anti-social where I live for saying this but I wish people were more considerate in public in these mannerisms mentioned in this video. There is a lot of general rudeness and just inconsiderate people when I go out.
My family got lost once in Tokyo train station. And a kind man came up and gave us direction. Shop waitress in tokyo were nice as well. My mother naturally speak with aggressive loud tone something she tries to change but hard. They kept saying sorry thinking she was angry. She was bit confuse, but went to say sorry for being loud. P.S: even local standard she sound aggressive and loud normally.
Same in germany. I am Turkish and I always leave me elbows below the table, germana just laugh it off and 1 said something along the lines of "dude just eat, nobody cares about your arm being on the table or below"
Him: They follow the rules and don’t like interacting with strangers so they avoid conversation and they clean up after eating! Me: I am now moving to japan
@@madi.5898 I'm sure the OP knows it isn't that easy to move to another country. They were making a joke and the person who first replied took the joke literally. It's a commonly used joke too, so it's a bit hard to not see the comedic meaning behind it.
Omg I’m so embarrassed 😭😭 I went to Japan this last December and made sure to be aware of the social cues surrounding public places and/or manners but the squatting in public totally went over my head!! now I feel quite ignorant! Im aware it wasn’t done maliciously but still, guys, wherever you go, always make sure to be mindful of social/cultural differences in everyday life in order to not disturb people in their own home and your own journey through a new place ❤
I guess you are right. Because not all foreigners understand how to speak Japanese language. That is why they are trying to not start a conversation with foreigners.
I forgot where, but once I was at a restaurant in Tokyo and this elderly waitress was very kind and nice to me and my family. After eating, I accidentally left my empty soda bottle on the table and to my surprise the waitress ran out of the store yelling at me and threw the bottle at me. I know it was my fault but that waitress was so scary once I made her mad 😅
8:08 American here, I've _always_ cleaned up after myself at restaurants. Everyone who sees me for the first time always has to make a comment and "just leave it, it's their job." Well I'm sorry, I'm a person who values self-integrity, and if _I_ make a mess, _I'm_ gonna clean it.
I'm so glad to see this comment-- I felt so alone! I can't tell you how many people tell me to "leave it 'cuz it's their job." I totally get why they might say that, but I look at it as two things: 1) I'm not a slob and it's the least I can do, and 2) it's a gift and courtesy I give to both the server and the people waiting for my table. Nice work, mate!

The point is - they won't accept that other people are different - only that other people are WRONG, because they are the chosen people and all cultural differences are invalid. (The Chinese appear to feel much the same way about China since their recent 'victory' over covid.....my my, isn't that one coming home to roost.)
same here
I always tidy my eating spots, comes from being a waitress and having to clean up after others. I always found it easier to bus a table when they kept it stacked and tidy. I've also seen some absolutely disgusting tables, makes me wonder what kinda mess is in their house.(Also American)
Speak for yourself you dirty basterd. Most Americans DO clean up after themselves.
Honestly thought this was common sense. Unfortunately, yea, in the US at least it seems to be poorly practiced or enforced it's annoying af
So basically, Japan expects courtesy and common sense. Sounds fair to me.
The Same Japanese will watch you get harrassed or assualted without helping you AND THEN tell the police it was all your fault because they were supposedly "taught manners" in elementary school and would never harrass foreigners (meanwhile- *Search:* "I got spit on in Japan" and know that for every ONE video you find- there were already like 5 others ones like it)

@SSS Before you read my reply- please know that I am one of the folks who *liked* your comment- because it is absolutely TRUE! onto my reply:
With one exception- America doesn't presume to take pride in teaching their kids, manners, discipline and courtesy and then condone their bullying behavior towards others. Never in America will you see a talk show host tell a girl she "looks to chubby for his taste" and then have the comment be condoned because "that's his standard of beauty"
Sadly, many Americans don't give a shit about teaching their kids right from wrong and will stand behind their misogyny, or rascism or bigotry- but Japan pretends to be better but acts the same (which is why I totally agree, it sounds just like America). My stance is, if you're going to teach your kids to have manners and have compassion, then enforce it as well- cause when you don't, you're a hypocrite for looking down on other countries *ahem- AMERICA* that don't even bother to try.

as someone thats been in food service for years, i can honestly say the cleaning up after yourself when your done eating thing is something that is appreciated anywhere. It makes the waiter/waitress' job easier and is just a simple way of being kind
When I was a kid my mom would comment on me trying to tidy up my scraps in a restaurant with “Do you work here?” but I always saw it as basic manners lol
I've always cleaned up after myself and one time I made the mistake of eating with a group of 8 friends. I felt terrible when they kept judging me for cleaning and so I didn't do it then.
(I do it when it's just a few closer friends since they understand it :D )
If I clean up after myself at a restaurant then you don't need a bus boy ... I'm promoting more jobs for that business!

"Japanese people wear a mask when sick"
me: THE JAPANESE WERE YEARS AHEAD OF US
underrated lmao
Experiencing many pandemics from within and from neighbouring countries and a sense of cultural discipline.
Widespread mask wearing in Japan began after the terrorist attack on the subway that used nerve gas. The attack was done by a cult in Japan
they predicted the pandemic xD
That's East Asian culture not only Japan. But many Japanese are refusing to wear masks during Covid19. That's why their infection rate is skyrocketing compare to other East Asian countries. Not enough testing too. Also many infected people are getting harassed even people in the medical fields are discriminated.
Question "Why Japanese Don't Like Foreigners"
Answer: "Because they act differently."
Who would have thought...
and then he explains those differences
@@delluminatis True, he does, but they are trivial. I was expecting something along the lines of "foreigners keep stealing our women", or "african americans and blond/blue eyed germans tend to play bad guys in movies", not a simple list of the trivial differences in general culture.

@Ken narville That is absolutely not true, cities bid on being the Host, no one forces it on them.
@Ken narville Many cities bid on it, also it's not the country as a whole, it's the cities once again, and a lot of them do it. They tend to see it as a way to boost tourism and as a display or wealth and power in some cases. For Japan, I think it's mostly the tourism angle and it could also be to get foreigners excited about Japan. As much as there is the whole "Japan hates foreigners", the current politics of Japan recognize they are struggling with the whole drop in birth rates, and need foreigners to fill the void. Also, most Japanese that live in places that have a lot of exposure to foreigners don't hate foreigners, might get annoyed with some foreigners, but they're not as xenophobic as they once were, but it is still present. I think much of the Japanese government wants to get foreigners excited for Japan, and they hope to bring in foreigners from countries that seem more "desirable" to them, like the US/Canada/Australia, and the wealthier European nation. Right now they bring in some South East Asians for low wage jobs and treat the migrant workers pretty poorly, to the point that many of these young migrants break down and return home.
This is all based off my understanding, so take it with a grain of salt.

BTW we don't say "high- functioning" anymore. It's ableist and unsupported by the literature. You can say eg "low support". Lots of info online.
so... slave by choice?
I'm Japanese. These are usually right on target.
But sometimes there are foreigners who misunderstand Japanese, so I'd like to take this opportunity to say that Japanese basically like foreigners. How can we hate people who love our country?
In Japan, there is no such thing as cultural theft, and we are very happy to see foreigners wearing kimonos. I've never heard the term "cultural theft" before from a foreigner. So thank you for being a fan of Japan. And I sincerely welcome anyone who respects Japanese culture and manners.
⚠️I am Japanese and I am talking about basic Japanese personality, Non-Japanese people should not dismiss my opinions without basis. Prejudice, in particular, breeds misunderstanding. I'm talking about 80% Japanese. I am not saying that 100% of Japanese people like foreigners.
So, theres no point people in Japan hate the foreigner, because they love japan so much.. but i do love Japan, regards Marcel from Malaysia

Walking around Japan with a mask on = A nice person.
Walking around the West with a mask on = 'I'm gonna need to see some ID'.
Absolutely true.
Also applies to a foreigner walking around Japan with a mask on
Actually walking while wearing a half face mask is also good enough to avoid trouble. Apparently being 6ft tall and having a slightly built up body (gym) while wearing a mask is enough to scare even punks into ignoring you when you accidentally walk in bad neighborhoods. When I say bad neighborhoods I mean literally people talking about stabbing others while some of them do drugs in public.
Well, in the USA anyway.

True. Exactly the way I was raised and therefor I had no problems in Japan at all. One story: while riding the subway Ginza line in Tokyo I watched an American tourist (sort of looked like an American) boldly man spreading in his short shorts and hiking gear, blocking the way with his huge back pack (oh one of these..), and he got his take away food out, starts eating, drinking, crumbs flying everywhere, dropping greasy paper wrapping... I just watched the Japanese. I think they wished he would drop dead and vanish in an instant. They hated him - a lot. Just don't do it. Don't eat where you are not supposed to eat, don't litter, don't annoy people, be polite.

@@707-o7t Yes I'm Caucasian. But they were curious and some might have stared at me, because I'm a "gaijin" obviously (Tall and red hair).

It would be something entirely different, if you live in Japan. I've heard it's difficult for some people with dark skin color. Which is unfortunate.
I hope you won't get judged or anything else when you visit Japan and you can enjoy your stay.

@Daemisa Naervil why do you think that? I didn't feel used and I didn't feel like an attraction. To me it was their way to communicate and maybe to practice their scarce English skills. But for me it was the same then. I wanted to communicate with locals and practice my Japanese. By the way I meet a Japanese couple in Tokyo, who just asked from which country I am etc. At the end we talked for 3 hours, walked through half Ueno, had some beer and snacks and sharing phone numbers. That was 3 years ago and we are still in contact since. So I'm glad they've approached me then.
So don't call me naive for whatever reason, especially because you don't know me and don't know my experiences with Japanese in detail.

あいうえお I think it depends, because many foreigners often do not have the same standards of manners. Like I personally would like us to have the same standards of Japan in Canada but frankly that’s not going to happen.
John Johnovich Yes, I see your point. Japanese put more emphasis on obeying the rules or manners than people from other countries. What I wanted to say is, Japanese themselves understand the fact stated above so that they don't care much about foreigners (especially tourists) indifferent about manners or something unless such people break the rules intentionally.
More specifically, group of Chinese tourist ? Hahaha they are abit too much
All the same same things that piss off the Japanese, as far as tourists go, seem to be the exact same things that piss me off and I'm Portuguese. Every single thing that you pointed out was just common sense based. We just like manners; basic manners and civic behavior are essential to living together in society; if we don't have them we are as good as monkeys. Civilized behavior seems to be their only requirement and I'm all for it, it's really not much to ask. That's probably why the Japanese have never been anything but the nicest to me, both inside and outside Japan. It seems like simply being well mannered, conducting oneself with dignity and self-respect, and having the exact same idea of what that means, is what's behind it. The more I hear about Japanese people, and the more I personally socialize with them, the more I feel the meaning of the term tribe. The Japanese truly are my spirit people.
I'd like to add: Japanese culture tend not to disturb other people as much as possible, they respect people's privacy and they expect the same from others around them, that's why you see their trains, streets, even shopping malls are very quiet (except in shop commercial music). But, if they see you in trouble, they will most likely offer you help.
So keep it clean and quiet and just ignore everyone and you'll be ok?
@Spiritual Warrior Amen, brother. The problem with the world is its people.
Sounds like heaven to me
Also make sure you look Japanese, follow hierarchy and rules even if they don't make sense or are discriminatory, never seek professional help with psychological issues, hide problems instead of recognising and dealing with them directly. Oh and remember to support Japan being a one race country that is very different from other cultures on earth and emerged from a special offshoot of genetically superior humans. Join a school system that discourages critical thinking, teaches that being different is a bad thing, and prizes standardized test scores as the highest measure of intelligence. Did you know Japan has four distinct seasons and that the country is very safe, even though crime is grossly underreported, the intentional death rate is higher than most developed countries, over 99% of refugees are rejected every year, and it ranks low amongst OECD countries in the World Happiness Report? Accept these benefits and more, then you'll be okay!

Important thing to remember about Japanese culture: Just because they're nice and/or polite to you, doesn't mean they like you.
That's humans in general.
While this isn't exactly specific to Japan, It is the most prevalent in Japan. It can be extremely difficult to accurately gauge how favorably a Japanese person does or does not think of you. Most people in Japan will treat most or everyone kindly and politely, even if they don't like them.
Read about Face in Japan. It's a matter of creating and always showing the best image for yourself, and part of that means always being polite and respectful towards everyone, even if, and especially if you don't like them.

@Ken narville complaining about vermin by acting like one of them
Essentially what I take out of this is foreigners are unappreciated because they simply don't understand the culture and its norms. Thats simple to work around, you just gotta learn the ways. Videos like this help. Im from the states and have an interest in traveling to Japan someday. I've been studying the language some and hope to know enough to get by when I do go.
Unfortunately, even if you do follow their cultural norms, they will always carry a hostile sentiment against foreigners. It got pretty depressing because I always felt like an outcast with nobody to talk to and I eventually decided to go back to my home town. Then again this was just my personal experience and i hope you have a much better time in Japan.

Japan is like an extrovert country, with introvert citizens.
@Kemm Miarvil And which magnificent, perfect country are you from?
@Kemm Miarvil Why don't you stop getting offended by the most meaningless shit and just answer the question? I wasn't implying anything about you being Asian, I just want to know what country you are from, so that I can determine whether you have a respectable reason to hate them.
Yeah, I don’t like it. I love their media, mythology and language but I’d never be able to live there
@Kemm Miarvil
Kemm, if only you would include this last bit of information in your other anti-Japan comments, people wouldn't say bad things about you.
It's totally understandable. I live in Japan, and the uptight way of life is suffocating.
@Kemm Miarvil Hating an entire country along with their people is just wrong. It would fall into racism. Their culture is different from your and you need to respect that. They have their way of living and you have your. It doesn't suit you then don't go there. I don't like US culture where people have too much freedom, kids don't listen to their parents, old people are put into nursing homes, people freely have sex and live together without being married,etc. but I don't say that I hate the US and Americans. Their way of living just doesn't suit me even though I am currently living there.

Drann Nervial well other than that its not real and fiction lol
So, my husband is Japanese and we used to live there, in a city called Nagoya. I'm surprised by the squatting thing. My husband and I would squat directly outside 7-eleven to eat (only feet touching the floor). We've also seen lots of other Japanese people doing the same while they eat what they've just bought. He often says it's what you have to do when you buy convenience store food like onigiri because there are no bins in public, so you have to eat just outside the store and dispose of the rubbish immediately. It's also impolite to eat while walking, so eating while standing or squatting outside Lawson or 7-eleven or Family Mart is the best option on-the-go.

That annoys me to no end. We were taught that in the "backwards" Southern US as well. 🙄
Yeah, I live in America and it is also rude to leave the table like that (at least in Ohio it is) and when people do that they are seen as "ghetto" and lacking manners. I don't understand why anyone would do it anyways.
It isn't really for me, I live in Canada ans we don't leave food everywhere and napkins but like we don't HAVE to and it isn't considered bad manners. If it's really messy sure, its rude but for me it isn't a huge deal.

Even in the train when there are not many people inside the train, people do sit on the seats but always one seat apart.
As an introvert Japan sounds like a paradise.

Despite your culture don't let little things annoy you.
Shirorin imagine Japanese trains tho they be wildin
Amazing…I have never seen a foreigner who understands the characteristics of Japanese people as well as you. To put it simply, there are two characteristics of Japanese people: "You must understand the atmosphere around you" and "You must not forget to be considerate of others." Furthermore, we Japanese have a lot of respect for foreigners, so we are very tolerant of their behavior!
You tolerate them unless it is about sex or marriage
I appreciate Japan for what it is, but I'm tired of these naive people who talk about its inhabitants as being absolute angels. I never learned anything good about these people. In particular, I once met a cowardly and arrogant Japanese girl who refuses to admit the many problems of her compatriots, who asked me to learn her language but what if I don't speak it well enough? don't ask me to learn it for years. don't ask me not to watch these videos either. I will only calm down if someone reasonably explains their culture to me. and why they do not admit the cultural problems of their compatriots.
there are something that I don't understand, that irritate me the most about Japanese people. every time I say on YT that they are like robotic automatons who refuse to show feelings and emotions to us, there are weeaboos who tell me "naaaaah, they show them if you get to know them" but how can we know them exactly if they're all overly hypocritical? how can we be nice? and don't talk about learning their language for ten years until you speak it perfectly! and what to do if it is spoken badly? go see elsewhere, right? Until someone reasonably explains to me how we can convince these people to be more natural with us, I will continue to call these people "bad"!
I've heard the opposite personally I've heard you guys heavily dislike American foreigners and they are usually more outcasted
@@Smoogway I mean, people from the US specificaly, as tourists are annoying in a lot of country. Idk, but there is a trend of them being obnoxious and speaking loudly.

THIS. I'm American, and honestly it bothers me so much when people leave a huge mess behind for the waiter. Just because someone is paid to clean the booth for the next person doesn't mean you shouldn't clean up after yourself. The worst is when they leave like snotty tissues and things.

A. Wyatt Mann Interesting how you classify my sensitivity as a pattern although before now I’ve only said a sentence. Usually patterns are traits that you observe over time. That’s besides the point. Please don’t use an experience or a stereotype that you have noticed to refer to all black people as a whole. And when you say black peoples you probably should be careful with your word choice, because usually black americans behave that way. This conversation might have been extremely futile if you don’t even attempt to understand my perspective. Thank you.
as a foreigner living in japan... i can say the best way to sum up what you can expect in japan... japanese people are polite, they are not friendly. they value respect and acting "proper". generally speaking, they will only be social or friendly in service situations (at restaurants, hotel hosts, etc). very very rare to have any contact at all outside of that. i typically feel ignored or silently judged.
wow ... thanks !
i was trying to figure this out for some time ...
@Drann Nervial that's dumb. Culture changes throughout the years. Hating them for this is as stupid as you being hated for your cultural's backwards thoughts
Go to a nomihoudai, I do it all the time and loads of random Japanese people want to talk and drink with me.
I think for Japanese people the decision of whether to interact depends very much on the social context. They have different personalities for different situations. Then again, several Japanese people have struck up conversations with me randomly in the street, and some strangers I see regularly (shop workers etc.) smile and make conversation beyond simple politeness.
I'd add that most Japanese avoid displaying negativity, so won't make it obvious how they feel about someone they're interacting with. Because of that, they avoid interacting too much with strangers for fear of bothering the other person. I think it's a form of politeness in Japanese culture.
Good manners, deference and humility also go a hell of a long way to being liked in Japan.

When i was lost in Tokyo station a very young girl missed her train on purpose to show me where i needed to be, then while walking the nakasendo (sp?) trail i forget the name of the place but it was a beautiful Edo period town in some hills and elderly local dragged me into his tea house for a chat... hours later after a long round of broken english chit chat we parted ways, very friendly..
like some have said here, Tokyo is not 'japan', nor does everyone in the country fit a formula, and i could say the same for the month of hell i spent in china.
I was looking at a restaurant in Tokyo two years ago. It was a very small restaurant and a Michelin starred one. I arrived in the area 45 minutes in advance so as not to be late but we couldn't find the restaurants after 30 minutes. Then I entered a bar and asked the barman if the restaurant was in that street. He literally went out with me and help me search for the restaurant in the area and we arrived there just in time. I was blown away by their kindness but embarassed too at the moment xD
A high school student missed his train to go home just to show us the way to our hotel in Osaka. I can't remember how many times I said sorry and thank you but I think it was a lot
lol you are probably white. They didn’t want to serve me at a restaurant. I sat there for a whole hour with my friend and they didn’t even come to our table.
Halima B because in japan, you’re supposed to call the waiter yourself. They don’t come up to you because they want you to be ready to eat and order
Maddie Salad you don’t think we called the waiter ? We called and called her and she kept ignoring our table and served other people.

@Ken narville yeah keep thinking that way idiot.
It's just a cultural difference.
I'm very introverted and generally don't talk to strangers whether it is waiting in line or just going about my business so the Japanese not being particularly fond of having conversations with random strangers and having their boundaries invaded is not exactly something that would bother me. In fact, I would feel very much at home with that. I don't really like loud people either.

on one hand their culture ends up being very respectful but on the other hand, individuality is stamped out and conformity is heavily encouraged and even enforced. this is a country that used to more or less force kids with naturally
light hair to dye their hair black until somewhat recently. now they have to get a doctor's note proving that their hair is naturally brown.
it all just depends on whether you're ok with trading in some personal freedom in exchange for a well oiled machine of a society. and i honestly wouldn't blame you if you did. japan is a beautiful country. super clean, polite people (even if only out of courtesy), fantastic service even at fast food areas.
I'm an American and 2 of the things listed here completely tick me off too. The first is people being late, which I developed from my mother almost always being late by hours when i was growing up. Nothing better than waiting on the curb for 2 hours cause mom said "she'd pick me up after school," and the one day I got fed up she was just getting ready to leave when I got home.
The second is people who just randomly stop in the middle of the path. It's like come on people the least you could do is move to the side, or move to a place where you can get out of traffic. You don't need all 5 of your family members to stop in the one exact chokepoint of the path and force other pedestrians into the street.
The worst are two or more people walking abreast on a sidewalk that is not wide enough for everyone and they expect you to step off the sidewalk to make way for all of them because no one will give you room to keep walking on the sidewalk. If you don't step out of their way, they will sometimes hit you with their arm as they go by especially if the person is obviously bigger than you are. This is actually a form of bullying by a stranger.

"squatting in public"
Well, sorry slavs
does that mean I can't wear my jogging suit in Japan? monkaS
Ya this just a stupid stuck up type of thing to get upset about who cares how or were u sit when you are tired
@@glazed6098 It's because there's a strong hatred of homeless people in Japan, someone sitting on the ground may look like they have nowhere to be and have very little money. Is it stuck up? Yes, very.
BLYATTT
I respect cultures and people but shaming me for feeling comfortable when squatting is absurd. Fuck them honestly
I’m Japanese. I feel sorry for tourists and foreigners in japan because most Japanese can’t speak English fluently. I’m so happy to see foreigners who like Japan, but I worry that they might be disappointed with the unfriendliness and whirl of city.
As mentioned here, it’s part of culture. We don’t mean to hurt their feelings. We think We’d better not interfere with someone.
Anyway, we’re soooo glad to find foreigners are interested in Japan :) plz be careful because summer in here is much more humid than you think !!
To be completely honest, I may be considered anti-social where I live for saying this but I wish people were more considerate in public in these mannerisms mentioned in this video. There is a lot of general rudeness and just inconsiderate people when I go out.
Also, these rules don't apply in all parts of Japan or in all venues. For example, if you go to Okinawa, they have much friendlier and open customs.
Don't worry... Everybody loves Japan... Those who don't, don't count...
My family got lost once in Tokyo train station. And a kind man came up and gave us direction. Shop waitress in tokyo were nice as well. My mother naturally speak with aggressive loud tone something she tries to change but hard. They kept saying sorry thinking she was angry. She was bit confuse, but went to say sorry for being loud.
P.S: even local standard she sound aggressive and loud normally.
August Cat I saw some japanese when forneigers walk around they are very rude to them and say to get out to them... very rude
私は外国人と話すのが好きなので話しかけてもらえるのは嬉しいです。でもシャイな人や知らない人から話しかけられるのに慣れてない人の方が多い気がするので驚くのだと思います。嫌いという理由ではなくて、多民族国家ではないので日本人以外の人と話したことがない人も少なくはないと思います。
個人的に気になるのは「大声で話す」と「ゴミを散らかしたまま(捨てる)」ことですね。その場の空気を読めないで騒いだり他人に迷惑をかけるのを多くの日本人は嫌うと思います。
騒ぎたい時は騒げる場所や人のいないところへ行けば良いかと…！
食事のマナーは国ごとに違うから手を膝に置いていても外国人だからマナー違反、育ちが悪いとは感じません。
マスクは花粉症だからします！
私はマスクは好きじゃないので問題なければ外します。だからコロナが落ち着いた今でも付けてる人が多くて驚いています。理由を知りたいです笑
そして日本に来る方には美味しい日本食を食べてほしい！
安いお店でも不味くはないかもしれないけど、旅行に来たからこそ味わえる本場の日本食を食べて頂きたいです。
老舗は外国人のお客さんに慣れていないかもしれないけど、英語のメニューがなくてもマナーがある人には親切に対応してくれると思います。
物によって味が薄いと感じるかもしれませんがそれが和食です！素材を活かすのが和食の素敵なところ。
私の感覚ですが、安い居酒屋で日本語メニューがない(英語が話せない)お店より、少し高級で英語が全く使えないお店の方が丁寧に対応してくれる印象があります。
素敵な日本旅行になりますように✨

ٰ your scaring me where are they
Omg I’m so embarrassed 😭😭 I went to Japan this last December and made sure to be aware of the social cues surrounding public places and/or manners but the squatting in public totally went over my head!! now I feel quite ignorant!
Im aware it wasn’t done maliciously but still, guys, wherever you go, always make sure to be mindful of social/cultural differences in everyday life in order to not disturb people in their own home and your own journey through a new place ❤
We don’t dislike foreigners or aren’t shy.
That’s only because of huge language issues.

I guess you are right. Because not all foreigners understand how to speak Japanese language. That is why they are trying to not start a conversation with foreigners.

I forgot where, but once I was at a restaurant in Tokyo and this elderly waitress was very kind and nice to me and my family. After eating, I accidentally left my empty soda bottle on the table and to my surprise the waitress ran out of the store yelling at me and threw the bottle at me. I know it was my fault but that waitress was so scary once I made her mad 😅
Damn- 🤣
What a horrid waitress!
@@Halo2glitchlover22 they just said she was nice, but no one should leave their trash behind so its understandable

8:08 American here, I've _always_ cleaned up after myself at restaurants. Everyone who sees me for the first time always has to make a comment and "just leave it, it's their job." Well I'm sorry, I'm a person who values self-integrity, and if _I_ make a mess, _I'm_ gonna clean it.
Right there with you man
Seems like a dying value. WTF are people teaching their kids these days?!
I'm so glad to see this comment-- I felt so alone! I can't tell you how many people tell me to "leave it 'cuz it's their job." I totally get why they might say that, but I look at it as two things: 1) I'm not a slob and it's the least I can do, and 2) it's a gift and courtesy I give to both the server and the people waiting for my table. Nice work, mate!
We need more like you. That individualist idiosyncrasy is truly disgusting.
I’m English and I do this too.
