    Hello everyone! Japanese people are considered to be some of the politest people in the world, but they’re definitely NOT as polite as you think!
    In 2016, the Tokyo Good Manners Project took a survey asking what people thought of Japanese people’s manners in Tokyo. 70% of foreigners said Tokyoites had good manners! But when they gave Japanese people the same survey, only 24% agreed!
    So does that mean everyone in Japan is rude? Not at all! Most people I see in my daily life are super polite, kind, and helpful! But there are a small minority of people who don’t care about the rules and how their behavior affects others. So as you’re watching this video, please keep in mind that these things are not the actions of the majority, but of a very few Japanese people who are just plain rude!

      OK no. If you cant find a garbage can out in parks or primarily gathering areas. That is your cities fault. They need to provide garbage clean up. This supports jobs and it is important to keep your areas clean by providing proper disposal of products. If you support putting things in packages you need to support trash clean up.

      Mrs Eats forgot to mention the two most horrendous and terrible groups of people in Japan, who, unlike almost everybody mentioned in this video, are ACTUALLY causing horrendous problem to others. Firstly is the Japanese "train pushers". They will literally PHYSICALLY TOUCH YOU without your consent, and will literally FORCE you into a train near someone who is gross, or into the same car with someone, another type of horrifying asshole, who is carrying or using "fragrance" or "scented products". Or just any other reason whatsoever why you will not use that train car or not be in the middle or not be next to that individual. She mentions the completely unimportant and unbothersome people who have a quiet phone conversation and therefore do not actually legitimately disturb anyone at all, but she fails to mention the literally HORRIFYING people at train stations who WILL LITERALLY HOSPITALIZE YOU just because they believe that it is somehow okay to dictate whether or not you are allowed to get into the train safely. And the second group of MOST HORRENDOUS PEOPLE in Japan, people who smoke cigarettes!!!! Yet again having no qualms whatsoever about hospitalizing strangers on purpose!

    The peeing thing is a nuisance in India. They literally pee on the wall beside a public toilet which is just gross. The government has even tried to make so many pee stalls on the main roads for men, but they for some reason just would pick the worst places ever! These days whenever I see a man peeing I make sure to stare at them so that they are aware of the fact that what they're doing is absolutely horrendous.

    I like that you mention how some convenience stores have signs that tell you not to throw away your trash in their trash cans. It's definitely not recommended to buy too many things unless you're going home.
    When I was living in Ibaraki (a few years before I lived in Fukushima) at night I did see some drunk salarymen sometimes take a piss in bushes or side streets. One of my old Japanese coworkers tried to tell me it was ok to do that if you're drunk. I was surprised he said that lol. I'd rather just wait to relieve my Katana at home, thank you.
    Oh being mean to the cashier's I saw before too. One customer got mad at a Gusto cashier girl because he felt she didn't put the money down on the tray in a professional way. That had to have been the stupidest argument I've ever heard, since I heard someone try to argue with a blind person about why the sky wasn't blue.

    I respect you for telling it how it really is. I had a few encounters in tokyo: 1) I was waiting on an empty platform to the left side of the door of the train. The doors opened and this salary man pushed right into my shoulder when there was so much room. No-one else was getting off or on, he never said sorry and felt like it was done on purpose. 2) I asked a train conductor in Tokyo while showing him my ticket "is this the train for this price?" He replied go on this one just pay more at the end. So when I arrived, I told them that they told me to go on this one. The ticket woman at Narita airport said, Our ticket people never do anything wrong. OK I understand I forgot to mention about him saying pay more but still, she assumes that they will never be wrong.
    3) I was around Haneda one of the small stations and I ask "Shinjuku Ikura Desu ka" to the ticket man, he gets up really fast and shouts at me and then opens the door and points to the japanese only map.
    4) Just ignored in general if I only say "sumimasen" or "Akihabara wa doko desuka"
    5) had some japan executive shrug his shoulders in another country when I asked in japanese for the 1st floor.
    OK I also had good experiences but as we are talking about this then it's good to let all of it out ^_^
    At least it would make me feel that Japan is like everywhere else, especially when I hear from you that you also know of problems. I can also say London is rude sometimes. like half and half.
    I think hiding the problems is not healthy. Say how we feel and things.

    I probably couldn't watch a comedy movie in theaters in Japan. I've laughed loudly since I was a baby and I can't stop it.
    But when I was stationed in Japan, I remember being warned of the obaachans. They would, apparently, automatically blame the Americans for any litter that they would find, and would go through your garbage and set the bag on your doorstep if they found any errors. Thankfully I never had that experience, but I did my best to be polite.

I wish I could understand what goes through their heads when they do that. Illegal dumping (not bathroom related) is also a big problem in Okinawa. There are parks and mountain roads where people have dumped massive amounts of garbage. The nature park has had one pile sitting there for years and all the city has done is put up signs saying not to do it. And for the bosozoku...it takes a lot of effort not to let the intrusive thoughts take over when they ride by.

      Other than that, certain Japanese prefectures are different and the outskirts and countryside areas have their own charm and beauty.

      My next stop will likely be Okinawa or Eastern Japan in 2024.

    Except for the trash in a bicycle basket we have at least heard of people nearby doing most of the things mentioned. In some places in the US you have people who use public places as a bathroom, only they do more than just pee. I mean, I understand if an accident happens that you can't control. Food poisoning for example could very easily give you no chance to make it to the nearest bathroom. That's not what's happening though.

    As a mom, the Japanese moms you have to deal with are rude, fake, and condescending. And I really hate tatemae, which is why most foreigners think Japanese are polite. You don’t know Japanese people unless you live with them

    Man, I have only ever broken the public urination taboo here in Seattle one time, but it was a very extreme situation: I got out of a work drinking social extremely late, I had to catch the last bus home, I'd had too much to drink, absolutely everything was closed, so there were no public toilets at all. They'd even locked the ones at the bus station! And those are absolutely disgusting in America! Even completely smashed, I was trying so hard to be good...but I had to go and if I went wandering off to try and find something open late at night, I would be stuck in the city all night long. So, I peed in the flowerbed directly next to the locked public toilets.
    I did, however, feel the appropriate amount of intense shame for this, like a reasonable human being. Not like that Ojichan watering the flowers at midday just because.

    Considering the stories I hear about Japanese people taking advantage of saying rude things about or even to tourists or migrants to their faces because they are taking advantage of the language barrier...yeah I *know* not all Japanese people have good manners. I don't know how this one American woman had the patience to sit through being insulted by a pair of beauty salon workers and not say anything until the owner asked her clearly Asian-looking daughter if her mother (the American woman) enjoyed the services, the American woman replied in perfect Japanese she wasn't aware of the beauty standards of coming to the salon.

    I was raised in Japan from 1965 to 1973, 10 years old to 18. Born Oakland, California, USA. Back then it was common for men, woman, and children to pee on the side of the road. We did not have 7-elevens or any other convenience stores and there were no an public bathrooms at the time. Forgive the elderly. I'm 68 and have problems holding my pee. Would you have me pee ( discretely) on the side of the road, or do you want me to sit next to you on public transit with wet pants. My worst experience in Japan as a child, no Halloween at that time. No bags of candy. The no candy probably saved my life many times over.

    Dw people are wack in the US too and retail workers have to deal with nasty people daily to varying degrees of danger levels. I’ve been threatened to be killed and raped as a cashier before and have seen in big cities like SF where the majority of homeless people are dangerous and not only pose a threat to the workers but customers as well. It can be very scary esp when they’re on drugs and carrying weapons. I’ve also seen that my parents usually have to deal with trash letting their dogs run around and poop and pee in their yard and even toss their trash on our lot (usually a plot of grass) beside the house! The only time I was bothered by people talking on the bus is oddly at DisneyWorld! A family was talking about their sex lives in graphic details and about STDs and the details pertaining to them. It was really gross. My friends and I speak about our sexual health and sexual activities but not in detail and it usually when we’re just around each other or in a public place that’s scarce of people and speak quietly so they don’t hear us unless they listen in on purpose. As far as I know with the peeing thing you can get put on a sex offenders list and that in itself can ruin your life as you won’t be allowed to live in certain areas with minors and things like that. Altho I do have a warped perspective having lived in SF for about 5yrs now and seeing human and dog poop, piss puddles and needles n pipes is something common to see and look out for when walking. Only time I see clean places is the VERY fancy and rich areas that are open to the public and not behind gates. One time I found a needle with a questionable substance in it inside the door groove when opening up the shop and we had to remain closed until a biohazard unit came out to remove the needle from store property. It only took maybe an hour at most but yeah people weren’t happy and I could’ve even do the basic morning cleaning and stuff that’s supposed to be done 1hr before opening 😅 so to say that was a rough start as I on cashier duty, another on stocking and floor duty, and a manager to deal with customers while trying to do morning tasks is an understatement. I feel bad for the bad areas cuz it’s usually the owner of the store who has to power hose the giant shit a homeless person took right in front of the shop…SF is pretty extreme tho and I found other cities like Seattle isn’t nearly as bad with these issues. As for smaller cities and neighbourhoods and such that make up for most of the US the issues exist but aren’t common occurrences (minus shitty people in retail and other service work. I think that’s just universal 😅)

    Regarding public urination:
    There is a double standard.
    For example,if a man has to pee,he can be very conscientious,and find a hidden place to do so.
    But what about a woman?
    Whole different process,yes?
    A conundrum.
    It’s not a strictly Japanese cultural thing,it is worldwide,legal or not,a man can discreetly pee somewhere,but a woman would be very much shamed for simply doing the same.

    Nothing wrong with taking a piss in the bushes. But what is really disgusting is when men pee into empty plastic beverage containers and then leave them on the side of the road. I've even found plastic bags full of pee. DISGUSTING! What are these people thinking? "I gotta go...oh give me that empty coke bottle...aaahhh....now what do I do with it? Stop the car and let me leave it next to the vending machine."
    Today I had a young couple in their 20s cut in front of me to buy bread at a major department store. I said to them, "Ano ne! Ano ne! (Hey there!)" but they pretended to not hear me. The cashier saw what they had done and should have told them, "There's a line over there..." but didn't.
