"5 things" Japanese actually dislike! Japanese reacts to “12 Things NOT to do in Japan”!

*The content is based on personal studies and experience
There is no intention of denying other theories and cultural aspects
1. Doing various things with chopsticks
Especially avoid “sticking your chopsticks in your food,” “handing something from chopstick to chopstick,” and “pointing at someone/something with chopsticks.”
(Just like in many places around the world,) Table manners are an important way to show your respect to others in Japan too.
2. Talking in loud voices in a closed area (including phones)“A closed area” included trains, buses, elevators, saunas, etc.
Staying quiet is thought of as a way to care for the people around you.
3. Sitting on the ground/floor
Unless it is a picnic park or a Japanese traditional style room, basically sitting on the ground/floor is considered a dirty and vulgar act.
If you see people sitting down in front of convenient stores in anime, it’s usually a group of bad boys and girls.
4. Being barefoot on tatami mats
Tatami mats are the floorings of Japanese traditional style rooms, which are made from natural straw.
If they get dirty they can’t be removed, so it's best to always wear or bring socks to show respect towards the house/hotel owner.
5. Using “anime Japanese”
The Japanese language has a very strict line between formal and casual, and accidentally speaking like how anime characters do might make some people (especially strangers or superiors) feel uncomfortable.

I mean, yeah. I wish everyone followed that rule, everywhere.
Obviously not. Conditions in Japanese prisons are much, much tougher than in British prisons (someone once started a petition on the HM Government website in the United Kingdom to put old people in prison, and criminals in care homes).
@@petercdowney Jesus, are they really that soft? Not saying it's a bad thing, but wow
@@petercdowney Are you kidding me? Some British prisons are hell on earth. Their prisons are cruel and punitive rather than rehabilitative. They're closer to American style for profit prisons as opposed to German or Scandinavian prisons that actually attempt to reduce recidivism.

I wish the don't talk loudly in closed spaces was a rule here. It's like being included in some strange problem when you just wanna go on with your own business. ;;
I agree. It honestly sounds like that should be a general rule regardless of where you are
I wish it was everywhere. Even in my living room I have people watch videos on their phones at deafening volumes.

as an introvert who just stands around during social events, I see all of this as a win win.
As an autistic person I don’t think I could ever remember all the extra social graces in Japan. They would just send me away 😂
as a most likely allistic person (haven't had psychiatric evaluations done, so can't be sure in either direction), same. sounds so stressful.
I'm beginning to learn it'd be easier/shorter just to make a list of things that are acceptable. 😐
You gotta have a list of both though (acceptable/unacceptable).
There are many subtleties in culture, and you honestly don't want to do something culturally unacceptable and not realize it. Like the chopsticks thing... it seems a bit harmless, but I'm sure it's deemed REALLY RUDE in Japan.
@@adhynugroho9424 generally in every culture that uses chopsticks they all apply.
All these rules seem pretty fair and easy to me.
@@ltb1345 they're not though. Because they apply intention or connotation where there isn’t any to so many things. You can't compliment your boss for instance because that's seen as a judgement and only the boss can judge even if it's a positive judgment, that's incredibly narcissistic. If I don’t mean to be rude and I'm just pointing chopsticks and YOU get offended, that's on you. Nothing is touching you, and IM not being offensive, YOU are getting offended, that's on you. This is why I love America and Britain, everyone isn’t a little baby. Sure many Americans do get offended but in every day life most of us have a pair.
@@HelloThere..... So you complain that people are babies who get easily offended... And the reason is that you also got easily offended at an entire country's cultural norms because they are too difficult for you? That some grade A cognitive dissonance right there.
It is still bewildering that people still believe the average japanese people speak like anime characters. So they pepper their speech with nonsensical words like Dattebayo, Nigerundayo, Tuturuu, Za Warudo or Mada Mada Dane. No one speaks like that!
Tuturuuuuu!!! 🤓
How many people who learned Japanese from anime know that gomennasai is not something you'd say to your boss? Or that in Japanese schools, using omae to refer to your teacher will land you in detention every day for the rest of your life?

Honestly, the second one is true in the US as well but about 15% of people haven’t figured it out yet. There’s always that one jerk with their phone on speaker in a public area.
IKR! I agree, those people suck.
Being half Japanese, I’ve broken all these rules. We used to throw our chop sticks at each other like they were those ninja needle thingy’s. My grandma didn’t appreciate us using her Buddha statues as action figure sumo wrestlers either.
Devious
Brodie you are disrespecting the buddha by literally using him as action figures 💀
If I’m going to Japan I’m keeping the fact that I watch anime Locked up tight. It’s like someone in japan watching high school musical and coming here thinking we break into song at every chance we can.
But we do

I went to Japan for vacation last year and was walking to my hotel late one night. A scruffy looking man came up to me and struck up a conversation in broken English, saying him and his wife were arguing so he didn't want to go home. I'm from Texas, so talking with strangers is pretty normal. I had just bought a bottle of sake, so I offered the man a drink. Hours passed when a police officer came up to us. In my drunk mind, I started freaking out, thinking I should run away. When the officer started talking to the man laughing I later realized I was drinking with an off duty chief of police. When I asked why he didn't tell me when I offered the drink, he said "well I really needed the drink." we all laughed and complained about our wives the rest of the night. I'll never forget that night..
“Don’t talk loudly in closed area”

Ok the passing things with chopsticks must be the most skilled way of being disrespectful. That is difficult
Also *Don't catch flies with chopsticks.* This is most important.

The "Don't talk loudly in closed areas" is common sense, you must be considerate of other people
In Africa they talk louder than usual so people know, no one is talking bad about someone else.
Talking doesn't bother me as much as loud devices. IT should be a global rule to be quiet and wear headphones.
Common sense is not real, those words don’t really mean anything
@@Robert96902I can already tell you speak loudly in enclosed spaces 😂😂😂
I wish we had that here in the UK
I heard it is a a big no go to interfere with strangers in public. Even when you see someone having an emotional breakdown. To a non Japanese it may be tempting to go and comfort that person, awkward as it is. But this would really embarass a Japanese person.... So better not.
I wonder how strict this is lately..
I've seen even 10 yr old social experiments where people pretend to be in pain/highly distressed/a few "jumpers" in public and usually quite a few people go to make sure they are OK through the experiment. If you fear for their wellbeing you just ask "are you ok/do you want help" and if they say no or ignore you, you just continue on. They don't call the interruption police or anything, they just keep to themselves about casually talking to strangers, dropping things etc
So, only speak when spoken to? Got it.
@@dflaming1371 So only in exceptional cases do people interfere?
Otherwise they go about their business.
Yeah I am not a captain-save-a-304 here in the states either. If I see some bitch having a mental breakdown - I just point, laugh, continue walking.
This is extremely sad tho :(
I appreciate the explanations for why these things aren't appropriate. It helps to understand why they're seen as such and thus less likely to happen by mistake.
I have so much respect for the Japanese, they're allot more disciplined, respectful and have amazing culture, 1 day I wish to migrate there
That last one makes me think of that very unique branch of “Japanese spoken between non-Japanese students, who can speak Japanese pretty well”. Things like intentionally using anime Japanese for comedic effect, “Nihongo Jouzu” being a verb, have a whole extra set of slang that I only see spoken by second language Japanese speakers.
I love this xD

I think Japan is cool but it has so many rules and everyone is so judgy and offended I would be scared to breathe.
Japan has so many small rules, I'd be paranoid constantly
It is automatic for me to look people in the eye, and I hug a lot, laugh a lot, and touch a lot. I would be afraid to do anything except stay in my hotel. I've always wanted to visit Japan, but I am afraid my general demeanor would be offensive.
@@stephy369if it is offensive, why care at all? Japan needs change, specially those that get offended by that.
@@raizan5946you said it. I took three years of japanese in college, and every Japanese person I've met who's left Japan says it desperately needs to change. Not to mention their failing economy as a result of low birth rates and almost non-existent immigration. You need a steady flow of workers if you're going to keep an economy afloat in contemporary global economics.
So i cant say: dattebayo :(
Dude, saying “dattebayo” in _anything_ that’s not even remotely anime is total cringe. You wouldn’t strike a JoJo pose and yell “ZA WARUDO” at the top of your lungs while posing for a picture at the Lincoln Memorial, would you?

I thought the not talking loudly in small spaces thing was universal. It really ought to be- although sometimes I find myself forced to do so in order to be understood, because the space is very noisy with machines and other people. I really hope I'm just coming off as talking loudly and not yelling at them, but I can never tell.

@@The1adventurebound Must be in the coastal regions of the US.
Talking loudly in public in my part of the US, Appalachia, in a normal setting, distresses people.

Different culture different rules I can live with following these, none of these come off as nitpicky it just mostly comes off as general respect/common sense

After watching your videos about Japan I don’t wanna go 😂
Maybe that was his plan all along😮
I mean you can, just know the country rules and laws before going. But hey you do you
@Mohammed
I was in Japan in 2016.
It was scary as heck. If my guide hadn't been with me, I'd have freaked out.
Bless you ❤
Why? These rules seem reasonable to me.
When I go, I will keep my mouth shut and bow a lot. Hopefully, that will work. 😅
Every place has its law.
I really appreciate this channel. I don't live in Japan but I might someday and the cultural information presented here is helping me get a better grasp of how things are over there.
Me never going to Japan:
Also me learning exactly how to behave there :
Well, we can always learn from other culters I guess.
I talk way too loud to go to Japan.
Most Americans talk way to loud here in America. Nobody is interested in your hearing conversation so dial down the volume.
@@The1adventurebound If I talked loudly and boldly my parents would check me.
I talk too quietly for most Americans.
I wish the second one was followed everywhere. Especially here in NYC. Most of the time when I’m in the bus or the subway, I hear so many conversations to the point where I feel like a side character. Ngl it’s sometimes interesting hearing what people talk about (Ik it sounds nosy). But I do wish people can talk more quietly in closed spaces. Sometimes I just want to listen to my music or read my book in peace while on the train or subway.
You want to focus inward on a subway or train? Are you sure that is prudent behavior?
As someone who wants to visit Japan I’ll remember these things
The last one is tough. Even people who have lived in Japan for years don't really know hot to speak formally, unless it's required for them to do on a daily basis. It is practically a different language. And it's really tough when you need to speak to someone in the service industry who insists on using a formal way of speaking to you (as they are expected to in Japanese culture) and you can't understand a word.
I like to wear fun socks would that be okay or seen as childish, for example I have star wars socks would it be better to wear plain socks? Even though I really love my Yoda Jedi master socks. It makes it feel like he’s with me in every step I take. Like he’s training me to be a Jedi knight.
Probably best not to bring attention to yourself or try to stand out.
@@superjoker I wouldn’t say that, there was a program on NHK Japan about colorful socks being vogue in Japanese fashion.
That being said, if it’s something super-formal like a business meeting, don’t wear the Yoda socks. That’s just inappropriate. Try some boring socks instead. But if you’re hanging with your friends, go ahead, use the Force!
The worst thing is actually having a hole in your sock. I didn't think it was a big deal, but every elementary school kid liked to point it out.
It’s fine. People wear colorful sneakers here and it’s whatever.
The Force is strong with this one.
"Don't talk loudly"
Americans : But that's our whole THING

Trully is 🙏
Also arabic migrants turks, afghan, african, talk loud on trains. But really loud which is annoying. Its a cultures thing. Japan is more respectful and i like that more then entertaining a whole train cabin.
@Cthight exactly, you get it, I'm african, and I'm still not used to people shouting so much. The japanese subway is surprisingly quiet, and I like it that way.

Spanish person here. That's not so true. People are not totally quiet but most of the time people are not screaming. Maybe very young people may be a bit louder sometimes.

I think English is the most informal language in grammar. There's no formal and informal conjugations. (We also don't have a subjunctive, but that's mostly in Latin languages). You can be over polite in Japanese, but it's better to err on over polite than to be casual
This is the first time I saw an English speaker admit that their language is grammatically informal. I'm honestly really surprised that no one bats an eye at that flaw in the English language. Must be because most of the speakers of English are monolingual, I guess.
@Daniel Antony Considering a number of words in the English language are taken from Irish, German and French languages with as much cohesiveness as Transformers: Earthforce's relationship with the main Marvel UK and Marvel US comics; it's both informal and riddled with it's own contradictions the longer you learn about it.
@@rayvenkman2087 Yeah, that's basically it in a nutshell.
@@LycanKai14 Cuz it's limited.
@@LycanKai14 Sir. English is my þird language. And I'm currently learning Japanese as ðe fourþ. Out of all ðe 4 languages I know, English is ðe least formal. Sure, ðe people who speak it have developed band-aid solutions and use Latin origin words to express formality but ðat doesn't change ðe fact ðat it's ðe least formally developed(Modern English, at least). In fact, ðe lack of formality is so strong ðat English translators don't even boðer translating ðe formality properly most of ðe time. Ðere still is formality but not as much compared to... say, Russian. Ðis isn't my bias speaking, I am giving you a valid argument as to why English isn't as formal as oðer languages.

I really love your channel! If I may I'd like to provide some feedback, for the public watching shorts on a cell phone, it can be challenging to pause or scroll back, especially towards the end due to the crude interface YT forces upon us, so if there is a lot of text flashed just before the video ends it can be hars for us to read it. Regardless, I really love your format! The way you explain this universe of obscure (to foreigners) rules is so interesting and easy to understand! Thank you so much for these videos!
The part about chopsticks got me. I feel lile I've seen all those actioms in anime and manga, so it made me realise those were probably personal touches by the artists that non-native audiences miss.
The 5th thing... Absolutely true as translation in anime wasn't really accurate and that gave me a bad feeling learning Japanese language only from animes. Rely on number of sources including the native speakers are the best so far 😊
You might add:
1. Don't jump over the ticket barrier at a train station if you have misplaced your ticket or ic card.
2. Never bring your own spoon, knife and fork to eat at a traditional Japanese restaurant.
3. Never try to take a selfie with a geisha or Buddhist monk.
4. And, NEVER, ever try to beat the line at a train station by entering the 1st class ( Reserved ) car and then crossing over to the ordinary cars.
It seems like you are mixing stuff that will get you mean looks with stuff that will get you in jail.

Thank you again very much for watching!
OK so as rule of thumb. In Japan dont move and dont speak. You make no mistakes. hehe
Useful. Very Useful!
I’m beginning to rethink moving to japan
I'm actually surprised that this comments section isn't full of comments saying "Don't be Logan Paul". That's what I see in the comments section of pretty much every UA-cam video about things not to do in Japan.
But of course, if I go to Japan, I will obviously want to ensure that my visit is a _complete contrast_ to Logan Paul's visit.
Probably because nobody knows who Logan Paul is. I mean, i also never heard about it 🤷♀️
#5 is so true, however you can’t discount the fact that the fastest and the most effective way of learning Japanese is still watching anime for many foreigners
It's quite an universal rule that joining fun with learning is very effective ;) As for other media, you have games, movies, dramas, etc. The problem is that not all of them are as accessible as anime and not everyone likes them too. Also I don't think that all the slang speech is to be avoided, you just need to avoid only those the most cringy sentences and you are golden.
The best way is to watch Japanese livestreams, Japan UA-camrs, Japan TV shows and dramas. Those are more acceptable than anime.

It is useful for learning, but not for knowing when/where to use each expression. You would probably stick with a formal course for that.
These would have been nice to know before I went to Japan but the hotel I stayed at on Hakuba did have removable Tatami mats
Thanks for the heads up i like learning Japanese culture
So very uptight for no reason. Got it.
These are reasonable things to keep in mind of course, but after seeing a few of your videos on Japanese etiquette I'm beginning to think they're a very intolerant people. Like, it seems every minor action you do will offend someone there. A few years ago I thought Japan would be a nice tourist destination sometime in my life, but these videos are really dissuading me from ever considering it again. I'm glad I grew up in the Netherlands where I don't need to walk on eggshells for basic things.
I know right? Its pretty discouraging
I feel the same way. I wonder if traveling Japanese when visiting less restrictive countries sigh a sign of relief
Last one makes sense and the floor one as well
So I will not say "arigato" to anyone
