11 friendly reminders for tourists to Japan.

1. Let's talk calmly and not make noise in public places such as trains, buses, subways and elevators.
Let's observe and imitate the Japanese around you.

2. You may be surprised to learn that mobile phone calls are not allowed on trains, buses, subways and elevators.

3. People hate it when you eat while walking and drop food scraps on the road.

4. There are no garbage cans in town. Do not litter. Carry a plastic bag with you to take the garbage home and throw it away at the hotel where you are staying.

5. Don't sit on the road because you are tired. Your pants and skirts will get dirty.

6. Take off your shoes in private homes. Don't bring dirt or soil on your shoes into the house.

7. Do not eat or drink food or beverages from shopping at convenience stores or supermarkets before paying the bill.
Please drink and eat after the checkout.

8. Take a bath or shower every day. People don't like sweaty people. BE CAREFUL, ESPECIALLY AT MEALS 😃

9. Please try not to wear perfume. You may be denied entry to restaurants, especially for delicate sushi 🍣 or Japanese food.

10. Be careful how you use your chopsticks. There is a detailed explanation at this link. 😃

11.What most of the people in Tokyo Japan do not really like is these carts running around with loud noise and smelly exhaust fumes. The tourists seem to like these but it’s actually really annoying for drivers and pedestrians.
