The reason you don't clap at a Buddhist Temple is because the clapping is to wake up the Shinto gods, and Buddha is always awake. And the reason that they walk on the right side in Osaka is because the samurai in Osaka wore their swords on the left, and you did not want to brush against their swords.

In Japan, there are three types of rules: rules you can't break, rules you can break, and rules you should break. Often, implicit rules are the real rules and the ones you can't break.

when i went with my (now ex) wife, her family has next to no english (although there are so many japan-acised words eveywhere) and my japanese is "enough to be polite, not enough to hold conversation" so the boys would sit in the kitchen and smoke and drink beer while the girls sat in the living room eating cakee and cohee discussing how terrible their men were. but i did ask about the war and my father in law didn't have much to say, but i got the feeling there was little resentment, even though there is an airforce base down the road and fighter jets and helicopters circle their house 24 / 7. one thing that is missed but ought to be obvious is that the japanese are rebuilding constantly, not to down play the horrors of the atom bombing, but the trams were running in tokyo three days after, the japanese look at disasters, the earthquakes, the tsunamis, the hurricanes, shrug and rebuild. i went to hiroshima and it's a lovely city, you would never know how awful it must have been.

8 "untold rules of Japan" as follows: (1) Never look at people in the eye. (2) Do not answer those who raise voice. (3) Eat food quickly to show thanks. (4) Always walk with mid foot strike, then a slight forward slide. Never strike the ground with heels. (5) Bow to elderly at all times. (6) Say "ano ano .... hai .... hai .... eto eto" a lot. (7) Never make the first move, and if nobody makes a move - respect the laws of TAO and just move on. (8) Break all these rules and say "gai-jin". They will laugh at you and possibly give you a second chance or at best educate you...... It took me a 11 years living in Japan to work out these rules so you will save time if you abide by them. Thank you.

Sounds like you have to accept the way of the simp.

You can clap at Shinto shrines because you're inviting the kami, getting their attention. Shinto is about nature and purification. you CAN'T clap at Buddhist temples because Buddhism deals primarily with the dead and clapping "wakes" the dead; You could invite bad luck or spirits to haunt you. Insense is also set out for the dead, which is why you don't put your chopstick upright in rice (and why it's not used in Shinto.)

Yeah but pretty much the same in all of Asia. I admit some Japanese are pretty xenophobic and small-minded though, I think it got a lot worse in the 2010s, but again so did all of Asia. A common feeling I had in Japan last time is that the people really don't seem to respect your own background or experience as a foreigner even if you are 10 or 100 times more knowledgeable than they are. Kind of like a mixture of ignorance and arrogance I guess, but again I did find this with modern Asians in general.

I love how organized Japan is.

The fact that the sidewalks have a, "traffic like" rule is kinda cool. You know how many people hallway dance here in America? You can walk in a complete straight line on the right side (since for us, I noticed right is their left cause of driving too, and you get the point) Yet you always get those asswipes who veer or zig zag as they approach, trying to, "dodge" you. I'm going straight. There is nothing to dodge. This isn't Super Smash Bros. You don't need to throw mix-ups at me. Just literally keep your course, and I'll keep mine.

Rules if you come to Canada: For everywhere BUT Quebec, say "sorry" for everything. If you come to Quebec, and don't know French: learn how to insult back those who will cuss you for speaking English. If you speak French but with an English accent: speak French first, then almost everybody will switch to English so they can practice it on you, which is terrible if you want to practice your French, but they will be really nice with you for trying. And if you are French, you probably won't understand what anyone says for at least the first 12 hours. Finally, everywhere you go, *respect* the lines.

I was there last year for 3 weeks and I long for the day I will be there again. It was such a great trip were we traveled across Japan, visited shrines, hiked on mountains, wore yukatas while sightseeing , attended a festival, experiences a small earthquake and a taifun, ate specialitys and had very good interactions with the locals. Man, I really wish I could go again soon.

Thank you for a beautifully shot and narrated video. Very inspiring. Cheers!

Japan is by no means perfect. They have a work culture which is the main reason why ALOT of japanese workers commit suicide, they have sexism, they teach the boys and girls differently during their early years as women in Japanese society are expected to be housewifes, they’re also super nationalistic so if you’re accused of something and goto court, even if you’re innocent, you’ll most likely end up in bars either way. Also, the Yakuza are controlling alot of districts in the big cities such as Tokyo ect. And the goverment is doing NOTHING about it because some of the politicians are corrupt, and use the Yakuza for money and political gain.

In the Netherlands, rules about bicycle lanes, which are sometimes as wide as normal car lanes _in each direction,_ are much more simple: Don't do anything except ride your bike in the bicycle lane. If you walk there, you'll have Dutch people cursing at you and they will not slow down or hesitate to cycle right into you.

@@edgarsalgado2918 I think bicycle rules also apply to those! I don't visit many big cities in the Netherlands, but in Belgium (where I go to school in Antwerp), many adults use kick scooters to navigate around the city to go to work. Many people take the bus or train to the main station in a city, then use their kick scooter or foldable bicycle (if you haven't heard of these, look it up!^^) to go to their workplace because public transportation within the cities is often busy and unreliable. Kick scooters are becoming more and more popular because they are lightweight and easy to carry with you on public transportation, and they don't take up much space at home.

Depends we have 2 different traffic signs for roads. And 2 different types of scooters. The first bike sign that is blue with just the bike means scooters are on the main road. The second when has both a scooter and a bike and then the scooter can be on the bike lane. The 25km scooters can always stay on the bike lane unless it's a path where motorisation is illegal (rare) Then in Amsterdam also the 25km will have to go on the road from this year. But Amsterdam is ruled by a green nutcase lefty women.

This is great. I love following rules

I’m from Cali about 40 minutes from Los Angeles. I don’t want to live here but my husband refuses to move out of the state. I was Born in raised in Southern California and I W would move in a heartbeat to Japan. The school system here is not good at all. I see the way the schools are in Japan and it’s awesome! Kids from other countries are smarter than kids from the US because we don’t put so much attention to our child’s education in the regular school system. You really have to work with your child at home to extend their education. I love watching your videos. Thank you. ❤️💛💚

Well summarised!

Great video….! Thanks so much for your work……I can’t wait to be able to travel back to Tokyo…..soon I hope.

When there is no content but you are a master at editing.! 😁

I would love to experience visiting Japan just once in my life

I really enjoy your content and perspective. Lots of rules to remember, haha.

Nice video thanks

Something I absolutely love about Japan is that it is not as extremely individualized, as the rest of the world, and somehow I feel like it makes it feel warmer.

Number one rule I found hard to follow: no eating while walking. Still, no one gave me a second look. OTOH, loved the queuing for, and use of escalators. By the way, thank you for putting out some great content! You're part of the inspiration that influenced me to start my own channel, also about travel and the stories we tell. Cheers from Calgary!
