Last week when I was waking in Harajuku, there was a foreigner guy in his early 20s in front of me. He threw his empty water bottle on the ground and I immediately picked it up and crumpled it so he could hear me. When he looked back I glared at him and put it in my bag to throw out later. He seemed shocked but I'm not just going to let someone ruin our reputation even further here

Andrew Peckham good on you, I’m hoping to go to japan in a few years and having been watching these videos so I don’t do anything that I’m not supposed to when I go out there but it seems that foreigners get a bad rap in certain places is just down to them being rude and impatient in general and probably have no manners, just being a respectful and kind person is really all you need to do to gain the respect of the locals wherever you are , and really that’s what you should be like all the time, never understood how people haven’t learnt basic things like putting your rubbish in a bin or simply holding the door open for someone.

I feel like we should be like this a bit more in our own countries as well. Be the grumpy guys who always scold people not being respectful of their surroundings, not having any sense of "manners" just because nobody chases after them with a bill to pay for being an asshole. I often risked a good old beating for that, but, why do they feel like it would be ok, anywhere?

10.) *Don't cut in line (**0:28**).* Some foreigners unintentionally cut the lines formed in train stations and Japanese people dislike this. 9.) *Don't litter (**1:42**).* Carry trash with you until you go back home or go to local convenience stores. 8.) *Don't ignore the flow (**3:15**).* Don't walk on the opposite side and don't block a crowd of people. If you're confused or unaware of the line of movement, stand on the side because people are busy and have places to be. 7.) *Don't smoke & walk (**4:35**).* If you want to smoke, stay in the designated smoking area. 6.) *Take caution of barriers (**6:02**).* Don't just skip through it because the workers at the station will take this seriously. 5.) *Don't talk so loudly (**7:35**).* Best to keep quiet on the train or anywhere really. Talking loudly on the phone in the train is a definite no-no. 4.) *Don't carry a big luggage during rush hour (**9:06**).* The train is packed during rush hour and it will be inconvenient for you and others if you have a big luggage. It's sort of wasting space. 3.) *Don't wear T-shirts (**10:31**).* Some T-shirts can be offensive, like having slightly sexual anime characters. It may seem funny in our domestic country, but it can be offensive to Japanese people because of the distaste in PDA (public display of affection). 2.) *Don't complain about not being able to use a credit card (**12:11**).* Most Japanese stores don't accept credit cards, so bring an alternative, like electronic cuts from the barriers or debit cards. 1.) *Don't take pictures of other people without their consent (**13:01**).* Not allowed to do this. Japanese people are very protective of their image!

In fact, when I got tired of their "I'm a tourist it doesn't matter" attitude and scolded them by showing them how to be considerate, I got a lot of smiles and a "San kyu" (thank you). Another suggestion, even if you don't know Japanese, at least buy a book and try, they would appreciate it. Or at least, where I live. (Sasebo) Also, don't be one of those douches who don't stand up for the injured, elderly, pregnant, etc in the designated seats on the bus! It's so obnoxious and inconsiderate!

On my first trip to Japan, my flight arrived at Haneda airport at about 5:00 PM. After getting my luggage and then clearing customs, I was on the train by about 5:45 PM, in heavy rush hour. I had two small bags and so it wasn't too bad but I found it helped to put the luggage in the overhead rack. On the second trip, I just spent a bit of time at the airport having a leisurely supper and got on the monorail by about 7:00 PM. As to photographs, I tended to shoot architecture, street scenes, and landscapes (or streetscapes as it were). It was unavoidable to have people in my photos but I made sure while framing the shot that no one was the actual subject. I was more interested in the interactions of people as they pursued their daily routines. No one ever complained but this is where a telephoto lens can be quite useful. I felt I could get the view that I wanted, showing how people were going about their business, but I did not have to isolate anyone and I was far enough away to be unobserved thus not influencing the scene. When I did photograph individuals, I always asked and I offered to show them the photo afterwards. No one ever refused.
@Anonymous551656
@Anonymous551656 3 года назад
I travelled with one large-ish bag during my trip and ended up on the train in rush hour in Osaka. Ditto on the overhead rack, my bag fit there and it worked well enough that I was out of everybody's way. As long as you're able to swing your bags up there out of the way and get them down without trouble to other passengers I don't think anybody would mind too much. Of course it is obviously better to avoid the rush hour if possible, especially if you have bags with you - but even if you don't, who wants to be crammed in with loads of salarymen anyway?

The part about the line at train platforms made me remember somethimg from my visit to Japan last year. It's not really about cutting in line, but about standing in the right line. We were traveling with a guided tour and when entering the Shinkansen platform, our guide wanted to get to the markings for the door of the cart we had tickets for. But that was already crowded by another group of (probably) American tourists, not even forming a line. So we waited at the mark for the other door of the cart, ending up having to cross the other group inside the train. While I was waiting to let someone pass, a large woman who had just passed me grabbed me from behind and pushed me to the side "this is my seat". And the level of noise with that group in the cart... I wonder what the few Japanese people in the cart thought. Of course, our group was not perfect, neither. A few of us had to collect a lot of empty water bottles the others had just left we we left the train. But at least we had enough plastic bags to collect our litter in... we even had got a plastic bag over the paper bag at McDonald's. m(

Getting a travel card for a city you are visiting is a GREAT idea. I did that when I was in London. Don't expect them to work in orher cities, though, unless that country has national cards. Look for the websites for the transit department for the cities you plan to travel to and read up on the local bus and train routes and if they have travel cards. So much easier!

Interesting about the flows. In Europe we end up with a two way flow on the sidewalks. On the mainland we hold right (just like that we drive on the right) and in the UK they hold left (since they drive on the left). It certainly is something to keep in mind because... habbits! I even caught myself holding right in the UK whilst I am from the Netherlands myself. As they say though... "when in Rome do as the Romans do", so when in Japan we should do as the Japanese do as well.

Italy, Greece etc. When they come to Ireland, where queues are not to be trifled with, it can get annoying. I can sympathize with that frustration. Still. Nice tips for my upcoming trip!

I lived in Japan and it was never my American friends who were the loudest in trains and busses and on the streets, it was always my European friends. Don't know why American's get a bad rep of being loud in public... sure they were loud in private, but it was always my European friends who carried on loudly in public. If you're from Europe, just be careful about the differences in drinking culture, it's great that drinking in public is legal, but people don't drink and yell and carry on in the streets late at night in Japan, except for very certain places.

I agree with all of these. When I was in Japan, I tried my best to not stand out, to observe local customs and do my best to fit in. That being said, I did see groups of Japanese people (I heard them speaking, so I know they weren't Chinese or other Asian foreigners) on several occasions standing and talking in narrow areas of the sidewalks. I saw many salary men sneakily walking down the street smoking or talking on their phones on the train. And many Japanese people wearing English T-shirts that they obviously didn't understand what they said, because they were often sexual, suggestive or downright profane. I don't mind adhering to other peoples cultures, but maybe they should keep a closer eye on what their own citizens are doing.

One thing I keep doing in some big stations like Shinjuku where I’m confused about where I’m going, is I see a gate and behind the gate is a sign saying “West exit” so I’m like “oh okay I’m going there I’ll go through that way.” And then I beep my Suica, it deducts the money as usual, and I walk towards the sign. Then I get near the exit and find another barrier and I’m like “wtf I just...?” And I ask the guard and they say I have to pay 180 yen to get out and so I realised I went into an entrance instead of an exit but I’m still so confused most the time of wtf just happened and if it’s just me being an idiot or if the signs are confusing. It’s happened like 3 times this week 😂😂

I’ve made some mistakes before I always feel so bad about it. I went to Japan in 2018 and went to see a musical at the theatre. Me and my friend were waiting to buy merch, but what we didn’t realise that the line for the merch split off and continued around the corner so we joined the back of the first part of the line (thinking that was where the whole line ended) and the theatre staff had to try tell us we were cutting in (I couldn’t understand a lot of Japanese at the time so I had to explain I didn’t understand what he was saying and didn’t realise that we’d pushed in until the staff member pointed to the 2nd part of the line). I instantly apologised a lot and went to the back of the line. Even though it was an accident, looking back at it I feel so embarrassed. If it was in my own country, I probably would have shrugged it off as an innocent mistake, but doing it in Japan makes me feel bad, and I really don’t want to come across as an ignorant, disrespectful foreigner.

When we were in tokyo we should have been two times in rush hour. One time we completly forgot to watch the time. So we sat in a cafe and waited till it was over. And when we left japan we had to take the train from ikebukuro down to haneda airport. And all on rush hour with suitcases. So we drove one and a half hour earlier (6 o clock i think) and drank cafe and had some time at the airport. It's really not that big problem. You are on vacation you have the time and rush hour is just 2-3 hours just plan around it

Quick tip for smoking in japan, find a tobacco shop if you can't find a smoking area, those often have a lounge where you can buy a quick drink from a vending machine and smoke as much as you like. i've never lit a cigarette outside a smoking area, but i've definitely seen A LOT of japanese people ignoring that rule, especially in back alleys and parks. Edit: Almost forgot to meantion that there are smoking booths in the shinkansen bullet trains. That was the last place i expected to find a place to smoke xD

We had to get to the airport during rush hour once. (It was my first trip to Japan.) After three weeks of traveling. So yeah, big luggage. It was not a nice experience for anyone, but we didn't have any extra money for a taxi, or other transportation, so we had to take the train that was covered by our railway pass. Nowadays I always book a night at one of the airport hotels for the last night before going home, this way things work much more smoothly. My personal experience is that especially other Asian tourists really are extremely loud to the point where it's a real annoyance. Sadly, during touristy seasons it is common to place all foreigners in one train car or on the same floor of a hotel, so I have to suffer the yelling through the hallways, the loud music on trains and all of that, just because I'm a foreigner. I honestly understand, though, why there is an effort to keep these things away from citizens everyday lives. It just sucks for me that I keep getting placed in the middle of the tourist madness. One time I was so bothered, I considered getting a pass for green cars in the future, just so I can't be put together with such people anymore.

The last time I lived in Japan was 1973-1977 and so much seems to have changed! People were always smoking on the street, in restaurants and even theaters, it was common to have "pushers" pushing people onto crowded trains especially in the morning and evenings, on streets people weren't walking on the left or right only in one direction. What I find funny about the "don't take photos of people" thing is that, after I moved back to America to Los Angeles, I'd often encounter Japanese tourists and they would snap a picture of anyone anywhere at anytime without asking. I guess that rule only applies in Japan. Eating or drinking while walking- saw a lot of that in Japan too back in the day. Especially but not limited to festivals like Tanabata or the Star Festival. People didn't just stand still in one place. As for smoking, what is the rule for vaping? Does the same sort of rule apply even though it's not tobacco? Anyway, 1977 was 42 years ago and even America has changed greatly in that time so I'm not criticizing or complaining- I find the differences between then and now interesting.

So, The thing about not taking pictures of anybody, does that also translate to Japanese people not taking pictures of foreigners too? When I went to Japan, I went to an event called Wonder Fest in Chiba, I was doing some shopping around the booths and had gotten tired from standing for at least 5 hours so I decided to sit on the floor away from people next to a wall, all of a sudden I see this girl, came up to me and she was like 3 meters away, took out her ipad and pointed it directly at me to take a picture! I though she was looking at someone next to me, but as I said, I was in a very desolated area away from the crowd. I though it was completely rude and I got pretty pissed after that.

Stay the night in the actual village of Narita the day before you depart, if your flight leaves from Narita airport. Or just take a Bus to the airport instead. It requires some research, since the buslines are not advertised to foreigners as much as the trains are.

@samsik86
@samsik86 4 года назад
From my personal experience from the past 10 years. 10) Cutting in line - no matter where you go in the world, ppl will always cut in line. But in japan, its not just foreigners that travel to Japan, a few japanese ppl have done it also. I know they are busy and need to be somewhere, but why they get so mad, when the lines are long? chill man..Japanese ppl need to learn about personal space also. i don't need you to stand so close to me while standing in line. 9)Littering - I'm always respectful in that sense, if i cant find a trash can, i just hold onto it until I go back home or back to the station. 8)Ignoring the flow - its pretty straight forward and you should get it down after the first day, if not idk what to tell you. lol. 7) Don't Smoke & Walk - I don't smoke so this doesn't apply to me, but you can see smoking areas, some have little partitions you can go into to smoke. Don't smoke & Walk? More like Don't use your cellphone and walk :/ 6) Take caution of barriers - if it doesn't let you in, why not tap your Suica/Pasmo again. if you have a ticket and it got stuck, go to the little ticket office and let the station staff know. why would you push yourself through the barrier, how are going to get out of the next station, or even explain to the station staff how you got in the station to begin with? SMH. 5)Don't talk so loudly - Cmon lets be truthful here, we all know who this is directed at. I mean i know you can say it, but I've noticed and seen the reactions of japanese ppl when these types of ppl are around. It happens where I'm from as well and i understand that that type of foreigner its not from them being that way, its their culture #facts. 4) Don't carry big luggage on the train during rush hour - Im lucky I never arrive or depart from japan during those times..lol 3)Wearing offensive T-shirts - Im not even sure how this works when japanese ppl wear offensive english shirts all the time. so its ok for offensive english shirts but not ok for offensive japanese shirts? well then...Thats kind of odd, i can understand sexual shirts but when language is just in big letters and can be seen by everyone. don't you think thats not a good thing to wear as well? 2) Complaining about credit cards - seems like recently the new system that some businesses have been using don't accept cards, even if the logo is right at the counter. why it doesn't work? i have no clue. my card used to work all the time until recently. i mean really? its 2019 Japan is one of the most innovative countries in the world and you don't accept Credit cards? you realize 2020 is right around the corner? the Olympics will bring so much business and foreigners to japan. most ppl don't like to carry too much cash on them for the sake of security and getting robbed. step your game up Japan. 1) Taking pictures without consent - well i know for certain things it shouldn't be done and signs are obviously posted. but don't say don't do this and do that. when social media is showing ppl in japan doing posting on their accounts what they did. you shouldn't make it seem like only foreigners are guilty of this, bcuz i see japanese ppl do it to. I know this comment will get ppl heated, but hey..Im just stating facts and from personal experience from being in japan. its my opinion and my experience from being by myself or me hanging out with my Japanese friends. I learned the culture from observing and from friends teaching me along the way. But you shouldn't make it seem that only foreigners are the only ones doing what you say. Bcuz some japanese ppl are just as guilty in some of these areas.

9. There are convenience stores everywhere (Lawson, Family Mart, 7 Eleven), and they usually all have trash cans inside the shop, so it's not actually that big of an issue imo, you just have to enter one of the shops to throw your trash away. It's just that there aren't trash cans around OUTSIDE. It's annoying and unusual at first, but I got used to it fairly quickly once I discovered that all the convenience stores have them, lol. 8. Imo the ones who are the most guilty of this in Japan are actually NOT European, American etc tourists, but Chinese people, and also, actually, both Japanese highschool girls, and Japanese middle-aged women. Yes, for whatever reason, the women seem to be the bigger offenders in this regard. My school is in a very crowded street, and I have to deal with this crap pretty much every day, lol. Walking on the wrong side isn't the bigger problem. The worst part is when 4 people, all friends, walk side by side, and really slowly, and basically block the entire street for everyone, but don't seem to care at all. I experience this all the fucking time, and it pisses me off to no end... -_- 5. Chinese people and Spanish people. My Spanish friends themselves agree. :-P It's not just the Japanese that think they are loud. Everyone else does too. :-P And yes, to the rest of us who don't understand the language, it does sound like they're angry, lol. :-P 1. This should be obvious, and is equally annoying and rude anywhere imo, not just in Japan. But there are always gonna be a lot of stupid and rude people I guess...

As a pedestrian I almost get crashed into a ton bc I guess Japanese think it’s too noisy to use the bell or at least say すみません to alert me of their presence. Re: loud voices. Again, in the countryside sometimes everyone around stops their conversation to listen to English. So then even if we’re whispering we’re still the loudest voices in the room.
