1. You can't shoot casually.

Chinese people like to take pictures of all kinds of souvenirs, but there are a few things to pay attention to in Japan: First, Japan does not like to take photos with three people, and there are people on both sides of the person standing in the middle, which will be considered a bad omen. Be sure to check if you can take photos in the area before taking pictures, and don't take photos in the temple.

2. Although the tip is good, don't give it lightly.

Tipping is generally not required to serve in Japan, and this is not only not considered a sign of generosity, but also makes the waiter feel rude.

3. Paper should not be thrown into the paper basket under normal circumstances.

In China, it is more civilized to throw toilet paper in the trash. However, in Japanese life, it is necessary to throw the paper into the toilet bowl and flush it together, because the Japanese paper rots when it is exposed to water, and under normal circumstances, it will not clog the pipes, and if you throw it into the paper basket, it will increase the workload of the cleaning workers.

4. Please be quiet when taking the subway.

Subways in Japan are crowded during the morning rush hour, but they are relatively quiet, and even when there are many people, there is no loud noise, especially in Tokyo. This situation is also more common in Europe and the United States, so many people will choose to read books when taking the subway, which may be more suitable for the environment.

5. A drugstore is actually a grocery store.

Pharmacies in China generally only sell medicines, but in Japan, drugstores not only buy cosmeceuticals and skin care products, but also many nutritional supplements, snacks, and household items.
