Why do people say that when traveling to Japan, someone knocks at the door and never opens the door?

Japan has beautiful scenery and a climate similar to that of China. It has always been a place where people prefer to travel, but many people say that in Japan, if someone knocks at the door, don't answer it. Why on earth is this?

Anyone who knows a little about Japan knows that Japanese people are very afraid of causing trouble to others. Many people who have gone to Japan may even feel that they lack some human feelings. Usually, we take care of ourselves, and generally don't bother others easily. Even if they have something to visit, they usually give advance notice and don't knock on the door rashly.

Moreover, most families in Japan are generally equipped with visual doorbell. Under normal circumstances, people will ring the doorbell, so that the owner can see the appearance of outsiders. If someone knocks directly at the door so that you can't see him, then you should be careful. Although sometimes, there may be a toll collector of a TV station, a courier who delivers a parcel, a salesman who comes to sell something, or a staff member who checks the water meter standing outside the door, this is a relatively small probability after all.

Many times, these people hiding behind the door may be unpredictable dangers. Therefore, if you hear a knock at the door in Japan, you must be alert. Don't run out and open the door without thinking much. If the person who knocks at the door keeps wandering at your door and doesn't ring the doorbell, you can see his face in the surveillance. Then you must hurry to call the police and inform your reliable friends in time ~

On the streets of Japan, people will feel very impersonal, doing their own things, and others will not bother you if nothing happens. That's because people in every place have their own habits. In the eyes of the Japanese, when they finally get home from work, they will rest, and they will not bother others, and others will not bother you. Therefore, people who travel or study in Japan should pay attention to the fact that people who knock at the door have their own intentions.

if someone knocks at your door when you get home, don't open it casually. Because the Japanese are used to managing their own land, nothing will definitely not bother you. Only the courier is safe to knock at the door, and it may be missionaries who knock at night. We don't know exactly what they do. But what we know is that these churches are different from the formal churches such as Christianity and Buddhism in China. Most of their churches confuse people's minds, that is, some vicious church organizations that destroy the three views of normal people. Or some dead-pestering salesmen. If you don't want to be pestered by him, you'd better not open the door for them easily!

In Japan, most houses are equipped with "cat eyes" or doorbells, and even a door chain is installed at worst, so strangers, policemen and even guests will not be allowed to enter at will. Therefore, when someone knocks at the door, it must be an "unwelcome person". Generally, the owner will not open the door on his own initiative, but will communicate with strangers through the cat eyes and decide what to do next. In addition, the Japanese are a people who pay attention to privacy, and the environmental owners in their houses don't want others to know too much.

What if it's your friend who knocks at the door? What if it's your parents, classmates, maybe a courier or a maintenance worker? Why not open the door? If someone knocks at the door, we have to see who it is, right?

When you travel to Japan, someone knocks at the door. You must identify yourself first, no matter where you go. Would you rush to open the door for a stranger?

I think the subject should want to express a meaning that Japanese people are shy and very afraid of bringing trouble to others.

Indeed, we also know that compared with China, many places in Japan are less human. For a moment, I felt that their smiles were deliberate and made people uncomfortable.

They are more afraid of bringing trouble to others than China people. For example, we may like to visit other people's homes and go home with our good friends. But the Japanese don't want to go to other people's homes unless there is anything special. They think that going there will bring trouble to people.

The Japanese seem to be more alert than we are. They are very defensive when they meet strangers. When they see strangers coming to their homes, they are unwilling to open the door.

One more thing, it's so hot in Tokyo, how can they open the door indiscriminately?

Last but not least, I'm just kidding.

Conscience guides tell the truth

From the Chinese point of view, Japan is a country that really loves and hates. Every time everyone in China thinks of the Japanese aggression against China and the massacre and infringement on the people of China in history, they all gnash their teeth and wish to destroy their country.

However, from other aspects, such as Japan's scientific and technological development, it is really worth learning and learning from; The environment in Japan is very clean everywhere, which makes people feel very comfortable. Japanese goods, also can be called cheap, cost-effective. Of course, there are some other benefits, so I won't list them here.

So, now more people choose to travel, shop and enjoy the scenery in Japan. However, tourists have summed up such an experience. When traveling to Japan, if you hear the sound of knocking at the door, don't open the door casually. Why on earth is this? The tour guide told us that, in fact, the truth is like this!

Japan is a very impersonal country in the impression of other countries, because even if Japanese people are very familiar with each other, they will not greet each other like other countries when they meet each other in the street, because they think it is an interruption. In Japan, they all do their own thing and do whatever they should. This phenomenon is mainly due to the Japanese. Young Japanese, in particular, are among the best in the world's stress rankings. Therefore, many Japanese will choose to go home to have a good rest or do some private things after the last day's work. If there is nothing particularly important, they will never knock at other people's homes for no reason.

In Japan, the courier is the most likely to knock on your door. Besides the courier, the person knocking on your door is very suspicious. Although Japan is a relatively safe country, there is a knife behind people's hearts, and no one knows what a person is thinking. So, except in special circumstances, it is either a salesman or a missionary who knocks on your door. Salesmen will stick to you like dog skin plaster, and missionaries will convey some very dark thoughts to you.

In addition, Japanese people don't bother others easily, so they don't like being disturbed. Therefore, Japanese people generally install a cat's eye at their door. When someone knocks at the door, look through the cat's eye to see who is knocking at the door, and then decide whether to open the door. Even if there is no cat's eye installed, an iron chain will be installed, which can ensure that even if you open the door yourself, you will not be pushed away by outsiders with brute force. This is the instinctive vigilance of the Japanese, because they know that most people don't like being disturbed by others, so the person who knocks at the door must not be a good person.

Although with the development of science and technology, almost every household has installed a visual doorbell. Although the installed doorbell has changed, no one can predict the danger behind the door. Therefore, when friends who travel to Japan hear someone knocking at the door, they must listen to the tour guide and don't open the door at will!

The quality of Japanese people is very high. Once I saw a young man knocking at the door in Kyoto, Japan. He stood more than one meter away from the door, then stepped forward, tapped the door a few times, and then retreated to wait. After a while, he didn't respond, stepped forward and tapped a few times, and then retreated. When the door opened, the young man bowed to his master, and the master bowed and let the young man in.

The previous answer is a bit beside the point. The premise of this question is that if you travel to Japan, you will usually stay in a hotel or a homestay. In these two places, no one will take the initiative to knock. If you stay in a hotel, the waiter will not take the initiative to knock, and if you don't call a waiter, no one will knock. Except for the administrator or owner of the homestay, if someone knocks, there must be something wrong, regardless of the situation, and you don't need to open the door.

Of course, the above is only the basic situation. If you encounter a disaster, such as a fire or an earthquake, it is possible to inform you to take refuge or something. At this time, it is necessary to open the door, so don't open the door unless there is anything. The best way is to improvise.

I don't know why. Japan's law and order is quite good. Normally, nothing will be disturbed. Generally, there must be something at the door, such as express delivery.

And in Japan, many people don't close their doors. I once walked into someone's house by mistake on the wrong floor. Yes, it seems that there is no one at home. The door is open, and I came out as soon as I entered the porch.

and when I was in Japan, I had never heard of this saying. I hope my friends who understand me will let me know. Personally, I think that if they are afraid of criminals, they can completely enter that kind of house with the door open. Isn't this more convenient?

Friends who are familiar with Japanese culture should know that Japanese people have been taught since childhood that they would rather commit suicide than bother others. Therefore, you will see that Japanese people pay great attention to the boundaries between people in the process of daily communication, let alone knocking on people's doors. Even if your door is wide open, they dare not take a peek inside.

First, there is a tradition of not opening doors casually in Japanese national customs. As for why, Japanese people have ghosts in their hearts! Generally speaking, people with late civilization or incomplete civilization have a little heavy concept of ghosts and gods! The ghosts in Japanese hearts mainly come from the concept of supernatural beings created by ancient rulers, which makes people panic. Over time, the custom of not opening the door casually has been handed down.

Second, the law and order in Japan is quite good. Cases of burglary or assault are not completely absent, but they are extremely rare. Generally, there is no saying that "people should never open the door when knocking". Moreover, Japanese people don't like to go into other people's houses. If there is anything between neighbors, they usually just stand at the door and finish talking. As for two old ladies, one is in the house and the other is chatting outside the house through the window.

Third, Japanese people pay great attention to etiquette. No matter how good their relatives and friends are coming to visit, they will inform them in advance and visit them on time as agreed. Therefore, it will not be friends and relatives who directly knock on the door; Unlike China, where there are neighborhood committees and street offices, there will be no warm-hearted aunts coming to provide care; In Japan, water and electricity bills are paid by oneself at a 24-hour toll store, so it is not like checking the water meter to knock on the door directly.

Fourth, people always ask the police for everything, just like we have difficulty finding the police, even more so in Japan. For example, the car is left at the door. What if we Chinese basically honk our horn, regardless of the neck, and the Japanese call the police directly? You say you honk your horn and come out to promise. When the Japanese police come, they still have to find me, and they can't drive by themselves. Besides, it's not more time-consuming for them to come over.

Fifth, in Japan, if someone knocks at the door, it may be a little brother who delivers takeout food, collects fees at home, sells various products, or spreads illegal churches. Japanese people are very cautious and don't open the door casually.

Every country has its own culture and living habits.

don't open the door, keep calm. You can call the police if necessary

Even in China, you should pay attention to knocking at the door. Not long ago, someone knocked at the door. As soon as I opened the door, a beautiful woman held a kitchen knife and said that it was free to try it, but it didn't work well. Then I put a kitchen knife in my hand and left. Curiously, I used a kitchen knife to cut vegetables, and found that it couldn't be cut at all, and the blade split quickly. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that if a woman had been at home, or even a little older, she would have been blackmailed. As for Japan, I heard that the legal provisions are very harsh. Not only is it possible that the person who knocks at the door is a bad person, but the person who is knocked at the door has the right to call the police to arrest you.
