1. It’s difficult to find public trash bin in Japan
Hard to find a trash bin in Japan? Yup, we’ve been there. It’s very hard to find a trash bin other than in the airport, train stations, and subway. So we used to keep our trash in our bag while in Japan till we find a trash bin. If you are planning to go to Japan, it’s good to spare a plastic bag for your trash in your backpack.
2. Open your shoes inside the house
This culture might be similar to our country, but every homestay provides an indoor slipper (like hotel slipper) for their guests. Do remember not to wear your indoor slipper when you seat at Tatami (Japanese mat) though as it is considered unpolite.
3. Warning to all smokers out there!
If you are active smokers, make sure to only smoke in the smoking area that is provided in public areas. You can’t walk around in public spaces while smoking or else you would be fined by the authority!
4. All drivers of transportation hub wear smart uniform suit
From Shinkansen, local trains, bus, and even taxi drivers, they all wear a smart uniform suit with tie and hat just like the pilots. We repeat, even the bus and taxi drivers do this! The Shinkansen driver even brought a black briefcase!
5. Wrapper for your wet umbrella
During winter, some restaurants and shop provide a plastic wrapper for your umbrella to prevent drips from wet umbrella.
