Is there anything particular about taking photos when traveling to Japan?

1. Don't shoot others. Forty-seven prefectures and some cities, towns and villages in Japan have formulated the Regulations on the Prevention of Harassment. Harassment mainly includes: forced sales promotion, voyeurism, candid camera shooting, etc. The so-called sneak shot refers to the act of taking pictures of all or part of another person's body without justifiable reasons, or aiming the camera at the other party, thus making people feel ashamed and uneasy.

Taking photos is forbidden in many places in Japan. Many public places in Japan prohibit taking pictures for various reasons. Such as theaters, cinemas, art galleries, exhibition halls, libraries, hot springs and mixed baths, some shops and restaurants. There are generally signs that prohibit shooting. If you don't or don't notice, you'd better check with the tour guide or the staff whether you can shoot, so as not to cause trouble.

In short, when traveling and living in Japan, do as the Romans do, abide by relevant laws and regulations, and never take photos at will.
