Japanese locals have discovered their largest pet pees when it comes to bringing travelers after a tourism tsunami that has challenged the nation.
By Geisha, designed to argue in ski cities, the island nation is experiencing a number of second issues on the extraordinary impact of visitors in recent months.
The government of Japan also the rare action last month of prayer with the Australians to undertake to Tokyo’s “Golden Triangle”, Kyoto and Osaka.
He had hoped that this would facilitate strain in the stunning place.
However, it needs to be done more to make life easy on the premises.
So, when a curious tourist who was inclined to make a better impression than many others asked a question of courtesy in a popular group of Japan travel tips on Facebook, they were flooded with answers.
“What are some things that tourists make it local?” Asked the man. “Trying to make sure I make no feather when visiting in October.”
A resident of Tokyo begged tourists to be careful about train labels.
“When you are on a crowded train and it comes to a stop at a station, and you are standing in front of the door that opens, please get out of the train to the platform and get out of the way,” she wrote.
“After all who have to go out and do so, you can simply ride again.
“Do not accidentally stop between shops/sidewalks/any pats. But I also have to check my phone sometimes, but I always go out of the traffic route. Become an observer and copy what seems to be doing local. “
A local woman from Kyoto agreed that behavior in transport could be a matter, pointing out that passengers should be heard how loud they are while on trains.
“I’m a stranger who lived in Kyoto enough to be ‘a local,” I think. My biggest pet laminate is talking aloud and eating on the train. It is just as different from the people around them, and it immediately seems to be completely inattentive and at the same time arrogant.
“The best advice someone can give is to look, observe and imitate as much as you can. Japanese (and local immigrants) will really appreciate your efforts. “
While another local revealed that the crowds are the worst.
“Walking side by side in a slow flock like cattle and failing to leave room for people who go in the opposite direction. I * could go out to lower a shoulder and leave directly across a tourist wall. “
Bus delays are another common disappointment.
“I work in a tourist information center and we always receive complaints from local bus drivers saying why foreigners take permanently to pay the bus fair, why they can’t prepare the coins in advance or why they don’t have the right amount , etc, etc (no one comes to complain about noise or anything else expect bus drivers and late payments) so we always advise tourists to get an IC card. Happy, happy bus drivers. “
Pet Pet peeve can surprise a lot.
“Wearing a strong perfume in an official Japanese restaurant is generally considered very poor labels, as delicate Japanese cuisine aromas are thought to be experienced without interference with strong fragrances, and can be seen as divisive to other dinners; Most would advise him against him and choose a light aroma or not at all.
“Highlights for perfume wearing in a Japanese restaurant:
• disrespectful to the chef: Delicate food nuances are essential, and a strong perfume can overcome the target aroma.
• Considered ‘smelling of smell’: In Japan, wearing a strong aroma is sometimes called ‘wind excitation’ and can be seen as inconsiderable to others.
• Especially important for SUSHI restaurants: Since the sushi relics a lot about the freshness and taste of the fish, the strong aromas are particularly unwanted. “
If you are behind a more comprehensive list of things you should not do in Japan, a commenter who said they have worked with the Japanese for 30 years and has extensive knowledge of their culture:
“If you want to piss the locals, then do below:
• Coating with strong aroma
• Talk on the phone or talk loudly on the train
• Do not remove shoes when you enter your home
• Flating. Eye contact is not the thing done in Japan
• Saliva on the road
• Crafting luggage across people filled with people and on human -filled trains (Japanese use the delivery service at the airport)
• Very loud music in headphones when in public place
• Waste falling on the road (no waste bins? Place it in the parked bike basket as everyone else does)
• Smoking outside the designated areas
• To blow the nose in the public
• Don’t wear a face mask when you are sick
• Poor coating and appears unclear
• Being late for an event or meeting. Punctural is a great job in Japan
• Making direct or personal questions
• Searching for something that is not in the menu, or to adjust your order in any way
• Anyway unbearable behavior in general like cutting lines, being bold or laughing loudly ”
There were several other observations of courtesy, including this: “One of the main problems with foreigners in Tokyo, especially in areas like Shubuya, is foreigners getting drunk and fixed with each other, with local, and even pretending police.
“One of the reasons (sic) why foreigners are often banned from bars and Tokyo even passed an ordinance that stopped drinking.
“It is not that drinking is very unusual in Japan, the Japanese often drink a lot. .. “
And finally, whatever you do, do not look for changes in a meal when ordering at a restaurant.
“Another great (annoyance) is the people who try to change the way a plate is prepared. No – they won’t leave parts of the dish out. They have spent years (literally) perfecting it and looking for is A great insult.
With a 40 million tourists planned to visit Japan this year, it is wise to learn local ways.
Tourism
Between January and September in 2024 visitors to Japan from Australia reached a record 637,300. This was a 42 percent increase for the same period for the previous record in 2019, according to the National Tourism Organization in Japan (JNTO).
Australian visitors also rank as one of the best markets for the total stay in Japan.
There are locations such as Kyoto, once the capital of Japan, bending under pressure from large numbers of tourists.
“We strongly encourage the Australians to consider the lesson destinations, as well as to see that they have to travel the season, such as autumn, as well as the well -known summer of Japan,” JNTO’s Australian Director of the Naoki Kitazawa Office told News. com.au.
