10 Reasons Why Japanese Don't Like Foreigners. Thanks to Squarespace, get 10% Off: www.squarespace.com/paolofrom... Japan tourists or foreigners coming to Japan may not understand Japanese culture because of this some Japanese dislike foreigners for not understanding Japanese manner and etiquette. As a generalization, Japanese follow the rules and get frustrated when people don't follow those rules, but often time they generally avoid confrontation when they have these sort of issues. Based on my experience, this is why Japanese don't like foreigners and tourists and what they are really thinking when foreigners break the rules. I can't stress enough that these are generalizations and not everyone is like this as everyone is unique, but for the purpose of this video and to show what Japanese may be getting pissed off about, I speak in general terms. These are my Japan tips for tourists to help them understand Japanese manners so they don't make those tourist mistakes in Japan or in that they may be unknowingly viewed as misbehaving tourists in Japan. Although some Japanese hate foreigners for doing things in the video, some other Japanese may be okay with the behavior but again I am speaking in general terms. In general, I don't think foreigners want to be rude tourists in Japan, but because they don't understand Japanese rules or Japanese manner they make the classical foreigner mistakes in Japan. These are must-know Japan tips to and a Japan guide when visiting Japan.

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.

@thunderlifestudios 4 года назад

@TriegaDN 4 года назад

@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.

@raistlarn 9 месяцев назад

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.

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.

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✨

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.

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.

about the late meeting, you were talking about. My father in India also does this when he is late for some meetings.

Then there is also a problem where you and your superiors are in a meeting and the meeting lasted a bit longer than expected and the topic of the meeting is really important and thus you cannot excuse yourself. While I am a kid these are some of the things I noticed my father doing. He does not mean to be rude but there is too much work to do and too little time

Sure, more people like that can be found in certain places but in the end people like that can be found literally everywhere im sure not all Japanese are "true vermins" maybe its just the way they're taught to be polite all the time? just a guess.

@JonLupen 4 года назад

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.

I feel bad about squatting in public haha, I just came from Japan and I really struggled with finding a place to sit (there's like, almost no public benches?) and I'm chronically ill/experience chronic pain. There were a few times where I just had to sit down because my body couldn't take it anymore. I sat out of the way and kept to myself. I got clapped up pretty quick anyway for sitting down (lmao) but yeah cafes are the place to go. Luckily the dollar/yen exchange rate is favorable but having to pay to sit is an odd concept haha. Anyway if you're chronically ill, just be aware of that and include cafes in your budget. (The cafes are really good and you'll get to try cool new drinks, so, have fun!) I was late a few times to activities because I got lost on the train, but everyone was nice & understanding about it, especially if I apologize profusely and explain that we don't have trains where I'm from (true). Definitely allocate an extra, like, half-hour to an hour to get lost, especially if you're going through a bigger train station. The not-talking-to-strangers thing threw me off at first and I probably startled a few people on my first day, but just emulate the demeanor of people around you and you'll be good. Locate the ATM nearest your hotel (like in a 7/11 or familymart) and do a yen check before leaving for the day. Don't assume anywhere will take cash and keep a few thousand on hand every day.

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!

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.

@evapeh690 2 года назад

@@user-nt5zc7om2m 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.

@Daemisa Naervil who's naive and who got used as an attraction?

@evapeh690 2 года назад

@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.

@parisgracefully 3 года назад

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.

@septicwomb4394 3 года назад

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.

@CherryFlower24 3 года назад

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

I agree with many of the things mentioned, like blocking traffic. I also get pissed off when people stands in a group talking crap right in the middle of a store entrance. We have many of that kind of thing here. But then again there are other things mentioned that made me definitely decide against visiting Japan. Yes it's a very beautiful country make no mistake, but in another video you mentioned how foreigners gets arrested for all kinds of crap and then have no rights so to say. No thank you. The money that I've saved to visit Japan will now go towards another country to visit there. Thanks for the heads up man. You just saved me from a lot of tears and losing precious money.
