These are very good tips, thanks to all who contributed. One thing ... funnily enough, in Osaka, I noticed people stand on the right when on an escalator and walk on the left, like in Europe and unlike Tokyo.
About eating sushi, I didn't know the fish part was dipped into the soy sauce, I've always moistened the rice and yes, it does get soggy. But when using chopsticks, I can't quite see how to hold the sushi upside down into the soy sauce, can anyone please explain. Also, I like to place a strip of ginger on the sushi and then dip it into the sauce, this give a little crunch and seasoning. Is this not done by the Japanese? Do they just eat a strip of ginger between each piece of sushi? thanks |

While Japan has many rules of etiquette, I do not think a short-term visitor should spend time mastering them all. The most important is to come with the right attitude, respect for the country, the people and their custom, and be open minded.
I wrote a quick "survival guide" for manners in Japan. You may want to check-it out. |

thanks for all the rules, many of which I haven't come across before (not many people I know have gone to Japan to having this is helpful for my future travels)

Thank you for all the tips. It is definitely important to know another country's way of commutation before visiting that country. I guess you can say the country's dos and don'ts. Really appreciate the help, going to check out all your videos, and looking forward to anything you post in the future.
