Japanese people are very polite. What's so particular about their clothes?

Politeness:

1. When I introduce myself, when they meet for the first time, they should say "はじめまして" and then bow to each other. Japanese usually don't like to shake hands with each other.

In social activities, the Japanese love to use self-deprecating language and are good at belittling themselves. "Please pay more attention", "Poor food, poor care" and so on are common pleasantries they use.

3. Arrive 5 ~ 10 minutes before the date with the Japanese, don't stand. If you have something to visit, you should inform in advance, and it will be considered extremely impolite to come to the door suddenly.

The common language in Japan is Japanese, while English is popular in hotels and department stores.

Japan has the habit of taking off shoes indoors, so clean shoes and socks must be worn in hotels or restaurants in Japan.

6. Smoking is prohibited in general public places. Please smoke in the designated smoking area with ashtray or the place marked "Smoking Area". Don't smoke while walking. Smoking while walking in some places will be fined.

7. Japan has the habit of using ordinary greetings. Please learn simple greetings and answer with the driver and others.

8. Hot spring hotels are forbidden to wear swimsuits into public baths. Before entering the public bath, you should take off your coat in the lounge, put your clothes in the basket and put a spare towel around before entering the bath. The way to take a bath is to sit on the stool in front of the shower and wash your body. If there is no shower, you can use a small bathtub to wash your body and take a bath.

9. When going up and down stairs, especially when taking the escalator, please be sure to follow the habit of turning left (Tokyo area) or right (Osaka).

10, formal attire is required for business activities, and gifts and business cards should be prepared in advance.

1 1. Please ask more questions and avoid silence when participating in discussion and exchange activities.

12, the Japanese have a strong sense of hierarchy, and there is a clear distinction between superiors and subordinates, young and old. Women generally respect men.

13, it is a Japanese custom to pay attention to etiquette. When people meet, they usually bow to each other and say "hello", "goodbye" and "please take care of me".

Dress appropriately:

Japanese people attach great importance to their clothes, whether on formal or informal occasions. On formal occasions, men and most young women wear suits. Men usually wear ties when they wear suits.

Kimono is a traditional Japanese costume, which is characterized by sewing a piece of cloth. Nowadays, except for some special professionals, men rarely wear kimonos in public.

Japanese women like to stroke their eyebrows, and generally like to draw thin eyebrows that are slightly curved. They think this is the most modern femininity.

Extended data:

Japanese bow has a "degree", that is, the angle of bending when bowing, which is very particular, and each specific angle has its own meaning. There are three basic types:

1, instantly (slightly nodding) tilt 15 degrees-say hello to work, go in and out, pass by superiors or guests, etc.

2. Chinese gifts (generally, the tilt angle of the bow is 30 degrees)-a common bow when welcoming guests and visiting customers.

3, salute (solemn bow) 45 degrees tilt-used for adult ceremony, wedding, funeral and celebration, as well as expressing gratitude and apology.
