I’m Japanese and very happy if you fill your glass by yourself. The tips in the restaurant is just included in the price. There’s no such rules or regulations in Japan not to eat on the train. So you can see some of people eating on the transportation and will not get fines. On the other hand, it’s true that Japanese people are very polite and willing to help others, especially foreigners. However, I’ve never heard it’s rude to point the place on the map??? I think why Japanese will bring you to the place instead of explaining how to get there because yes, we are kind and most of us CANNOT SPEAK ENGLISH..😂 Hey I think you gotta visit Japan again lol

Most small restaurants like ramen houses use a machine so, it's necessary to have cash on hand. For larger restaurants like the one I had dinner in Skytree and Maisen Omotesando, I used my credit card.

@@badass6300 And that's fine, but that means you get whatever service you get instead of the person trying to earn that tip. And it would be a lot more for the meal. Think about it this way. Wages limit earnings to one rate that isn't going to come close to what it is with tips. Slow times and busy times average out. All wages mean the staff is just working harder for no more money when it is busy, and that is how they will look at it. And the ones the provide the better service make way more than the wage would be. Take that from someone with over 25 years in the restaurant business. The current system is better in the long run. Pull some time in a tipping position and you will see.

Jeg er også dansker, og er helt enig i at det er vidt forskelligt. Alligevel er der nogle ‘sociale’ regler som minder lidt om, janteloven, kan godt minde lidt om det her med at, ‘ikke have får stærke meninger’ eller ikke dele dem ud højre og venstre😂 vil så godt besøge Japan.

I did a fair amount of business in Japan back in the 90s, this video brought a lot back. Another 'rule' to consider when dining out with friends is the upside down glass rule. As mentioned in the video, if your glass is empty your host will invariably always refill it for you. If you have had enough it is terrible manners to stop them from refilling it again if that is what they have started to do. Far better is to simply replace your glass after the last sip, upside down. Also regarding business cards at a meeting - insider tip: After carefully examining the cards from attendees, place them face up in front of you in the same order that they are sitting round the table. This helps you (well it helped me) remembering who is who (I'm not brilliant at that at the best of times but more so in places like Japan where the names are unusual to our ears). BTW It is also MASSIVELY beneficial to have business cards translated into Japanese before you go to Japan. I had one made up with English on one side and Japanese on the other. These helped oil the wheels enormously over there. There are loads of other tips and like the poster of this video, I have made many of the mistakes, it is inevitable, but worth trying not to.

As someone who intends to visit Japan sometime in the future, I find this quite helpful!

I come to America and tell my classmates that I'm from Japan and afterward they ask me what anime I watch. Just because you are born and raised in Japan doesn't mean you watch anime. Also, DON'T GET CULTURAL ADVICE FROM ANIME!

If you think about it most of these things are just practical/healthy/hygienic and/or being considerate of others arounds. Very well thought out.

In the bigger cities there are lots of vegetarian and vegan options for dining. Plus there are lots of options in combini(convenience stores) and other stores that have no meat. Getting away from diary is trickier, but not impossible. Also key phrases to avoid things would be: "Sakana tabinai desu" for I don't eat fish and "niku wa tabanai desu" for I don't eat meat. Also get the Happy Cow app on the phone you use in Japan, it's a database that can show you all the local vegan and vegetarian places, along with places that offer vegetarian and vegan options.

I was in a Shinkansen first class few years ago and two tourists refused to stop watching movies on their iPad even after the Japanese conductor told them not to do so. At the end, I can see the Japanese people were upset about them. There are two rooms on either end of the Shinkansen train carriage where you go to make a phone call or watch movies. It supposes to be a quiet ride. No, they were not Americans. They were Spanish tourists and they were proud of it (displaying their Spanish flag and screaming).

Actually, that's not the case. It is acceptable to slurp noodles in Japan, but it's not obligatory. It's done for a practical reason, as it facilitates eating the noodles quickly. It's nothing to do with sending your compliments to the chef. Also, slurping is not universal in Japan. The only foods that are slurped are those with a hot liquid. Ramen and miso soup are two examples; it is also acceptable to slurp tea. Slurping other foods, such as pasta, however, is considered bad manners.
