Things to keep in mind during your stay in Japan
Nowadays, the number of travelers to Japan from China, Korea, Europe and United States is increasing. Today, in order for you to enjoy your stay in Japan, I would like to share some of the things you should be aware of during your stay in Japan.
1. Take your garbage home with you
As you will soon realize, there are very few trash cans in public places. Please take your trash back to the place where you are staying.
2. Do not eat or drink standing in public places
Avoid eating and drinking while walking or smoking outside of designated areas. Do not eat or drink on public transportation other than long-distance trains or buses.
3. Do not speak loudly
Avoid talking loudly on trains and buses where there are many people around you. Also, be aware of your surroundings when talking on the phone in public places.
4. Walk with the flow of people
When many people are walking, the flow of people usually splits to the left or right. Be sure to walk with the flow in the direction you are going. If you walk on the opposite side, you may bump into someone.
5. If you have tattoos, some places may refuse entry
In Japan, if you have a tattoo, you may be refused to use a hot spring or public bath. Please note that this is not related to the size of your tattoo. If the tattoo is small, you may be able to go in if you cover it with a sticker.
6. Take off your shoes
You may be invited to someone’s home, or there maybe situations in some restaurants where you will have to take off your shoes. We recommend that you choose shoes that are easy to walk in, but also easy to take off and put on. Also, wear clean (hole-free) socks. You can get them at convenient stores.
7. Be aware of your surroundings on crowded trains
When riding in a crowded train, be aware of your surroundings. For example, large bags can be nuisance to those around you. Many people carry their backpacks in front of them as a consideration for those around them.
8. Shrines and temples are tourist attractions, but more importantly, they are places of religion
Photographing and videotaping is fine, however, please act with consideration as shrines and temples are considered sacred sites.
9. Photography and video recording
If you want to film a store, please ask permission from the store in advance. Also, if you upload videos on YouTube or other sites, be sure to blur out the people and license plates of the cars. This can lead to problems, especially if you film without permission and individuals can be identified.
10. Marijuana is a drug
Currently, marijuana is legal to buy and sell in some countries, including the United States, but it is illegal in Japan. Possession of even a small amount is punishable by up to 5 years in prison.
Please keep in mind of the above and enjoy Japan.
