What are the customs and taboos to be aware of in Japan?

After you take off your shoes, they should be neatly stacked with the toes facing out the door.

Chopsticks for eating

should be placed horizontally, not vertically.

When you meet other tourists you don't know during the hiking activities, you should take the initiative to greet them.

Men can't go home too early at night

It's best to go home around 12:00 p.m. or at least 11:00 p.m. It's best to be drunk.

Eat in big bites, no leftovers.

Especially at fancy Japanese restaurants, leftover food is tantamount to disrespecting the chef.

To soak in a hot spring, you have to wash your body first, one to acclimatize to the temperature of the water and the other not to dirty the hot spring.

No one can put anything in the hot spring pool except flesh, including towels.

Don't eat on public **** transportation.

It's also best not to eat while walking; it used to be Japanese tradition not to eat while walking, knowing that western food came into Japan.

Don't talk too loud

Don't use the phone in restaurants and public ****ing places, and keep your cell phone on vibrate.

Don't offer to be a guest in a Japanese home, generally Japanese homes do not entertain guests including relatives. Unless the relationship is very close.
