Local Customs: If people on cell phones...
  • Tip Rating:
  • If people on cell phones bother you – you will be driven crazy in Japan! People use them everywhere on the train, in restaurants, and even on the tea-cup ride (no kidding!). Now I’ll admit that I also have one ;-)

    Language: Make a little effort and learn...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Make a little effort and learn some Japanese. Most college educated people have studied English for 10 years but very few people speak it or want to be bothered. If you use some Japanese in asking for help even the most stubborn people will be more open to helping you. Sumimasen – excuse me/I’m sorry, Arigato – thanks, * doko desu ka – where is…. Still, be prepared for people to tell you “no English” in English of course!
