Creator's Key Takeaways

it's a very polite culture and beIN is very acceptable so initially when we got here we found ourselves sort of attempting to Bow and feeling really uncomfortable about it but it's actually a really now we're in the swing of

the Japanese are very quiet polite people and for instance if you're on the street or you're in uh public transport which will go on more about getting around and other things is the it's not acceptable to be sat there listening to your phone with the music out loud or talking loudly

Japanese culture does not it's not a tipping culture at all is it and on restaurants and in some bars there will be a tip added as a service charge Japanese people get flustered and quite they don't expect you to tip whatsoever

if you buy something from a little shop um and you want to eat it there will be an area designated area for you to stand and eat so be aware because it's very very impolite to be walking down the road eating no eating on the go

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack layers, waterproof shoes, and an umbrella due to varied climate.
Carry both cash and a card, as cash is king in rural areas.
Do not eat while walking; use designated eating areas.
Use a VPN when connecting to public Wi-Fi for safety.
