Summary Comments : [BRIGHT SIDE] 15 Examples of Japanese Etiquette That Will Drive You Crazy

lu**********:

1. just call everyone san, aside from children and your teachers\doctors.
2.not so horrible to not have card holder.
3.you can praise someone , showing embarrassment is part of showing gratitude and humbleness
4.heard of fashionably late?yea in japan you should try to get a bit earlier than scheduled, not obligated just shows a bit more concern for the other person's time.
5.bull, that might only apply in business situation.
6.you can talk with people you're with just try and keep it as down as possible , it's a quiet time for people, and you can give up your seat if you feel like it's necessary.
7.not rude to look people in the eyes, they do have an aura of personal space though.
8.not fact but I don't believe every restaurant offers wet towel for your hands, in fact I believe most don't. how ever you will be required to order something small as saving for your spot in a restaurant and it will seem complimentary but will be added to the bill. also they might automatically put water on your table for you.
9. eating while walking is definitely a thing, it was debunked multiple times...the point is to eat something you can actually eat while walking and not a full meal which is what typically japanese people eat as their diet is very clean. you can eat your snack while walking, just don't make a mess.
10 . there was a reason why trash cans were taken away, now most people recycle anyway. put a plastic bag in your backpack or bag and when you need to put your trash there, a lot of people get stuck with it not knowing what to do so thats an option. sometimes vending machines might have a trash can near by , and sometimes stores will throw away things for tourists if they get stuck with a lot of trash.
11.the described things are not normal. how ever japanese people do tend to drink as a social gathering of coe workers and sometimes are required to drink or they would be considered less friendly and less helpful in their work place. aka peer pressure.
12. I think the covering money is only when it's a gift towards someone or payment, which would make sense to collect it neatly and presentably in an envelope. I have done that before as I haven't had a wallet and didn't want to stand there looking for every penny.
13.they don't "only" sit that way, it is considered manners to sit that way, and they do not feel comfortable sitting that way , many have expressed their anxiety over not being able to pull off a 15-30 minute meetings while sitting properly. most other scenarios are fine to sit as it feels comfortable, but as table manners you should sit properly at meal hours.
14. you can open your gift as soon as you get it but you need to ask their permission first , " Is it okay for me to open it?". japan has a strong flower culture and a lot of people are educated on flowers and their meanings and even how to properly arrange them, if you make a mistake depending on who it is, it should be okay. they also forgot to mention that if you have friends or coe workers it is expected to buy them a souvenir if you go on a trip [even a 3 day quick one] ofc not everyone applies to this but you would be the judge of who gets one and who doesn't, try not leaving anyone important out.
15. actually accurate. but don't do the hands clasp movie bowing for every minor thing....they will feel obligated to bow back out of respect and you ended up bowing in an inappropriate time [ if I had a coin I saw a documentary where the interviewers to that....]
16.not almost a god, should respect, depending on the company not everyone does this.

don't forget that if you are a foreigner you can make mistakes , actually japanese people expect you to make mistakes but they will not make fun of you or get upset [unless its something small and easy like holding chopstick properly] they appreciate and might over praise any attempt that shows respect and honest effort to learn their language and behaviors. so don't feel bad and try your best

Ch*************:

And the number one thing not to do to offend the Japanese: Using sumo wrestlers and gongs in your transitions on your videos.

Se**********:

I've actually gone to Japanese restaurants around my house (I live in AZ) and when the Japanese people who live here originating from Japan, they still bow and I like it so I bow back. That should be something that we should all be doing. I think it is very respectful to say the least. Eh but ya know... that'll never happen.

Je******:

I spent two years there. They're actually more forgiving of a foreigner than this video implies, but yes, they are VERY appreciative if you put the effort into knowing their culture and following these rules... something I would think most cultures would feel

1 Example of Video Etiquette That Will Drive You Crazy
- Standard video sound level, with "gong crash" transitions at TWICE the volume

Da*********:

I gotta say, the imbalance of sound in this video is what drove me crazy. You were way too quiet, and the sound effects were crazy loud. It distracts from the information you're trying to convey.

Th*********:

Gentlemen, I clicked on this for exactly the same reason that you did.

At*******:

I've been to Japan a couple of times...
People do talk on trains;
People do eat while walking;

The last one is pretty accurate tho..
I reached Japan at around 11pm, the person I was liaising with called and said he would like to invite me to a meal.
I thought it'd just be him and maybe a few other important person,
In the end, their whole division of around 20 people came to fetch me from airport and escort me to a restaurant just for a meal...

br*****:

Props for the random “girls in hot tub” shot before the business card segment.

Je**********:

Mom: "don't sit like that"
Me: watches video
Me: moves to japan

Us************:

Almost makes me feel like I was made for Japan

El****************:

The shoe thing is really good. I like how they also put the shoes to wear outside facing out and paired so you can put them back on easily later. Neat. I really, really enjoyed the cleanliness, order and respect in Japan. I''ve been dreaming about going back ever since. I did find people much more willing to converse than I had expected.

Ma***:

"Face masks protect people from germs." Sorta. They only wear masks if they're sick, and do so to prevent others from getting sick. More of a respect thing, and actually quite smart.

Fl*********:

"No touching" well sometimes can`t keep my hands off my Kikyo ! Gomenasai

Gu**********:

whenever the zooming in transition comes, my head spinning too

Iv********:

Gond is not loud enough. Please make it louder.

Je*************:

I want people to take off their shoes in my house too. It's so much easier to keep your house clean that way.

Sa********:

My teacher was in Japan one time and there was an announcement at the train station. He didnt know Japanese so he asked his friend what they said and he replied "they're apologizing for being 8 seconds late" 8 seconds!!!!

Mi*******:

They are so polite that you'll never know you offended them

Zi*********:

Another thing about bowing, it's impolite to look at them as you bow.

Je**********:

Volume level while talking 10 ..... volume level for sund effects .... OVER 9000 .....

Po***:

I'm italian and I will feel offended in a couple of hours.

Th***********:

I think maybe Logan Paul should have watched this before going to Japan.

Ru***************:

don't worry about 80% of this, when I was there I only spoke English lol

ni**********:

The crazy thing is I like them all, I guest I've watch to much anime that I fell in love with their culture

RE*:

This is one of the best things about globalization and internet--learning about new cultures and their traditions. Japanese culture is so fascinating and having rituals for every little thing seems to make life more peaceful and make you more grateful for what you have.

By**********:

And don’t forget please (kudasai or onegaishimasu) and thank you (arigattō.) Invariably, the Japanese people treated me with great warmth, courtesy, and hospitality. And when I returned their graces with only a scant knowledge of their language and customs, I felt like they treated me as though I was a movie star.

DL*********:

bro you got me with the click bait photo. Well done

op**********:

please make the gong louder im not sure i can quite hear it its tooooo quiet

tr**********:

trashcans used to be everywhere. They're making a comeback, but were removed after the sarin gas attack where one group of attackers put the gas in a trashcan on the subway platform.

Th**********:

Everyone who watches anime probably knew everything on number 15

N3***:

None of this drived me crazy. Most of this isn't even bad, it's just their culture.

mo*********:

lol
Im japanese and feel this video is fun and describing japanese etiquettes well.
Young japanese think these too much but Seniors still think everyone must do because most of them are domestic.

I laughed every time Smo wrestler show with gong .

Th*********************:

All of these and, of course, NO TIPPING in restaurants or elsewhere. Yep, supposedly it is bad form to tip your waiter/waitress. An employee is expected to give 110% service to the customer and no extra gratuity needed. I visited Japan (Tokyo) four months ago and I feel that the West has a lot of traditions they could take from Japan. It was a very pleasant visit. So very clean and polite. In addition to which the Japanese young women (and men for the most part) are dressed to perfection and well-groomed all the time; very refreshing to NOT see people shopping in their pyjamas!

Tr************:

I've lived in Japan for 14 years total. I wonder if the people making this video have ever visited Japan. Much of this was really poorly researched. The elevator part was really off. Your position in the elevator goes on seniority. The boss stands in the back. The junior person operates the buttons. Most of the statements were't even outdated. They were just wrong.
Many of the people in the pictures were not Japanese. The narrator pronounced "seiza" wrong. There were a few things that were correct, but if I were a newbie to Japan, this would be the last place I'd look credible advice. If you have videos about other countries, I will now doubt if any of them are correct.
Also, the gong was annoying and totally unnecessary.
