Dear Nao, thank you for sharing the Japanese Motto: “Keep it cleaner than what it was before.” Girl Scouts in America are taught the same thing when visiting parks, museums and camping in the Forrest. Girls Scouts are taught to make the area cleaner and neater than how you found it.
I heard this phrase form a leader of Girl Scouts 40 years ago in Japan. That was my first time. In those days that isn't popular in Japan. So I wonder if the phrase had been the Girl Scouts motto they learned from America.
I’m traveling to Tokyo in March. I have lots of tattoos on my arms hands and legs. I recently watched a video saying if you have tattoos they will not let you into bars/ clubs. The club warp looks so amazingly fun so I hope this isn’t the case! Great video
Thank you for watching! You can't enter several places with Tattoos in Japan😰, especially public areas such as Hot springs. Sometimes, you can enter bars or clubs if you hide Tattoos, so it's a good idea to bring long sleeves😉 Have a good time in Japan!
@@JapanwithNao I decided to email ahead of time and ask their rules on tattoos. They’re allowed in the actual club warp 🫶🏻 Being from a warm state in America I’ll definitely wear long sleeves in the Tokyo weather!
I always learn at least hello and thank you in the language of the country I am visiting. Btw sumimasen is one of my favorite words now. ( mataashita being an other one)
Thank you for watching this video too! I assume we gonna publish a video about a travel phrase in Japan soon (Not sure when but within a month)! Matane! 😘 (See you soon)
👋Hi Nao. I will try not to be a trouble tourist. I enjoy your videos. By the way, I still learning Japanese. As you may remember, for me the only difficult difference is small talk. ...I look forward to see a new video of you in about 4 weeks right? Romaji helps a little? See you😊
Hi! Thank you for watching every time! I'm sure you won't be a bad tourist😉 Well, not all Japanese don't like making small talk. I like making small talk! So my advice is to see their face and eyes. You can feel they are up to talk or not by seeing them😊 For example, people who don't like making small talk easily avoid eye contact....etc🙃
That's a very good list, and if 外人 follow your suggestions, they will be less likely to 迷惑 Japanese people. Of your 13 points, there is one, about no small talk with strangers, that I've experienced differently. Men and women, young and old, have come up to me when I'm minding my own business to strike up chit-chat, or express curiosity about something. (Or once when a very sensible and concerned 御婆ちゃん wanted to ask me why I was riding my bike in the dark with 猪 all over the place!) I'm not special in any way, so I have no idea why Japanese people break your rule in my case. Of course, I'm always delighted if it happens. The people are always very friendly and these impromptu interactions are one of the many reasons I think Japanese people are very special. I hope it never stops.
Thank you for watching and sharing your story! Of course, all Japanese are the same. And also, there are some Japanese who are very open to making small talk with anyone (like me...haha)😉 I see more old Japanese people usually make small talk with strangers, so from my point of view, your experience isn't that surprising (especially in the countryside) 😊 Happy to hear that you enjoy spending time in Japan. ありがとう😚
Unfortunately with the flood of tourists, and the japanese government's over reliance on tourism, japan would become just like any other country and lose its special culture. I also visit japan as a tourist by i try not to bother anyone or ask for special treatment, like how many people expect to strike a conversation with locals as if japan is a disneyland where the whole country is there to serve them. I try to speak japanese and not be offended when they say nihongo jozu like many tourists, or when they're offended when some places have "Japanese only" sign because it's "racist". What's the point of visiting a country if we're trying to change it to make it like our own country. I'm not optimistic that japanese culture will last for beyond 2 or 3 more decades. After that it'd just be another westernised society.

Quiet on the train, and no small talk. Japan is great!
Thank you for watching😉 I'm happy you like the culture😊
Totally agree in my country they are animals

Thank you for watching😉 It's a good thing, isn't it?! If it's getting popular in the world, there is no dirty place in the world💯

That's really interesting! It seems so amazing people being quite in public spaces, awesome! Thanks again!
You speak English language very well!!! Good job!
Thank you for your great video! I'm going back to Japan for my second trip next month with my mum and my brother, very exciting! 😃
Thank you for watching! Have a great time in Japan with your family😉

@JapanwithNao I am really happy to know that you like small talk. I'll try to find someone like you! 🤭 See you Nao..
You can find people like me in Japan for sure😉 See you this weekend on another video👌
@JapanwithNao Hi 👋 Really are you going to do another video? 😊 I will be there for sure.
