*The content is based on personal studies and experience
There is no intention of denying other theories and cultural aspects
1. Doing various things with chopsticks
Especially avoid “sticking your chopsticks in your food,” “handing something from chopstick to chopstick,” and “pointing at someone/something with chopsticks.”
(Just like in many places around the world,) Table manners are an important way to show your respect to others in Japan too.
2. Talking in loud voices in a closed area (including phones)“A closed area” included trains, buses, elevators, saunas, etc.
Staying quiet is thought of as a way to care for the people around you.
3. Sitting on the ground/floor
Unless it is a picnic park or a Japanese traditional style room, basically sitting on the ground/floor is considered a dirty and vulgar act.
If you see people sitting down in front of convenient stores in anime, it’s usually a group of bad boys and girls.
4. Being barefoot on tatami mats
Tatami mats are the floorings of Japanese traditional style rooms, which are made from natural straw.
If they get dirty they can’t be removed, so it's best to always wear or bring socks to show respect towards the house/hotel owner.
5. Using “anime Japanese”
The Japanese language has a very strict line between formal and casual, and accidentally speaking like how anime characters do might make some people (especially strangers or superiors) feel uncomfortable.
