  &quot;Learn a bit of the language and don&apos;t be a dick.&quot;<br><br>That works for pretty much everywhere. Good advice.

  The tips for visiting Japan can be boiled down to this:<br>1. Don&apos;t be a jerk.<br>2. Don&apos;t be a douche.<br>3. When in doubt, see #1 &amp; 2

  It&apos;s bizzare these influencers talk about Japan like its a singular city, and not a huge country. It is even slightly larger than the UK, so having a list of rules to follow when you visit Japan is stupid. That really depends on which part of Japan you are visiting, even the districts in Tokyo have pretty difficult atmospheres to one another.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYUdGDfPCZU&amp;t=800">13:20</a> some people do DROWN themselves in perfume and just 🤮 it’s too strongggf 😭 it’s just basic thing to not douse yourself in an entire perfume bottle. If your perfume is good, you won’t need more than a couple small applications of it. Trust me.

  1. Don&apos;t ride the train for free.<br>2. Don&apos;t scream Hiroshima-Nagasaki inside the train.<br>3. Don&apos;t go to forests looking for dead bodies.

  I feel like not overdoing cologne/perfume is just a universal courtesy.

  Why do people make such a big deal out of &apos;looking like a tourist&apos;? You arent fooling anyone, most of them still can tell you are a tourist. And they will be more forgiving if you accidentally break social etiquette or rules as a tourist. Some of these social etiquette rules are only more important if you are working or living in Japan and have to try to blend in.

  People in Japan DO silently judge you they just won’t confront you or say anything to you. Follow etiquette and do more then 30 seconds of research and you’ll be fine

  I went in July and pretty much forgot about all these “rules” aside from speaking simple Japanese terms and did not once feel like anyone was judging. It was the opposite. Everyone was so welcoming and kind! And it was SO hot I wore shorts 85% of the time. We loved it so much we can’t wait to go back!

  I lived in a year and id say these are the most important.<br><br>1:Dont be loud(especially on trains/buses) <br>2:•Don&apos;t throw trash on the floor. <br>3:Use a translation app(DeepL is preferable) if things are an issue. <br>4:Learn to line up for the trains properly. <br>5:DON&apos;T STAND ON THE WALKING SIDE OF THE ESCALATORS.
