  2. Taking off Shoes: In many Japanese homes, traditional ryokans (inns), and certain establishments, it’s customary to remove your shoes at the entrance and put on slippers provided. Additionally, some places, such as temples, may require you to remove your shoes entirely. Pay attention to signage or follow the lead of locals in these situations.

    • Before entering a traditional restaurant, it’s customary to say “Itadakimasu” before starting the meal and “Gochisosama deshita” after finishing to show appreciation.
    • Use chopsticks properly and avoid sticking them upright in rice, as this resembles a funeral ritual.
    • Don’t pass food directly from your chopsticks to someone else’s chopsticks, as this is associated with funeral rites.
    • Slurping noodles, particularly ramen, is acceptable and even considered a compliment to the chef.
  4. Public Behavior:
    • Keep your voice low and avoid loud or disruptive behavior in public spaces, such as trains, buses, and restaurants, to maintain a peaceful environment.
    • Avoid talking on your phone or using loud electronic devices in designated quiet areas, such as trains.
    • Line up in an orderly manner and wait your turn when queuing for transportation, attractions, or services.
  5. Politeness and Respect:
    • Be mindful of personal space and avoid physical contact, such as hugging or excessive touching, unless it’s with close friends or family.
    • Use honorifics when addressing people, such as “-san” after their name (e.g., “Tanaka-san”), as a sign of respect.
