Rules you must know when traveling to Japan.

Lead: Every country has its own specific customs and culture, so it is important to do your homework before you go! Nowadays, more and more people travel to Japan, but due to cultural differences, it is inevitable that they will encounter embarrassing times. So today, we should remind everyone of the places that should be paid attention to from the aspects of transportation, catering and faith, so as not to become unqualified travelers! Here are eight rules that you must know when you travel to Japan. Welcome to read!

1. Although the traffic lives on the same island, Kanto people and Kansai people have two different cultures and personalities, and they are completely different in money values and eating habits, and there are also differences in the standing positions of escalators in the station. In Tokyo, they have to stand on the left, while Osaka often stands on the right because of its early integration with foreign countries, which conforms to the international trend. If you can't tell which side Tokyo and Osaka should stand on, then stand on the same side as the person in front who takes the escalator, so there is nothing to worry about.

There is also about taking the tram. There is still a great chance to take a tram in Japan. When taking the tram, you should pay attention to line up according to the position indicated by the platform sign, leave the position in front of the door, and get on the bus in order after all the people who get off the bus. Because the parking time will not be shorter than the time needed to get on the bus in order, the flight attendants will also confirm the situation before closing the door. In addition, because there are passengers in the car, there will be no forced closing of the door, so there is no need to get on the bus in a hurry.

Turn your mobile phone to silent mode when riding the tram, and try to avoid making phone calls in the car. Be sure to turn off the power of the mobile phone near the priority seat, because the radio waves of the mobile phone may interfere with the normal work of the pacemaker and lead to some unexpected accidents. In addition, eating, drinking, makeup and nail cutting are not allowed in the tram. In short, all behaviors that may bring unpleasant sounds and smells to people around, may pollute other people's clothes and luggage, and pollute the environment in the car are not allowed.

In Japan, besides taking railways, ferries and buses, many people try to drive. Change your driver's license at the supervision office before going abroad (attention! Non-international driver's license), and in Japan, it takes a little time to get used to it, and at the same time, you should carefully read the traffic signs. In Japan, if you suddenly stop on the road to read the signs because you are not familiar with the road conditions, you may be fined for transportation!

Second, the toilet queues up in the public toilets in China. Many people directly guard a single bathroom, and they use it directly when they come out, but Japan is different! In places with multiple single rooms, such as Japanese public toilets, you can't queue in front of each single room. Instead, you should line up and use the vacant positions in turn, starting with the person at the front. This rule is easy to see when there are many people in the queue, but if there is only one person in front of you, you should pay attention to avoid cutting in line.

Third, catering Japanese cuisine is a foreign cuisine that many people like. Whether it is ingredients, dishes and tableware, it is quite particular. In addition, Japan is a society that values etiquette. Therefore, learning the correct dining etiquette will help you better understand the food and make no mistakes!

The Japanese think that bowls are boats and chopsticks are paddles, which are subdivided into male bowls, male chopsticks, female bowls and female chopsticks. Male chopsticks are longer, about 18cm, and female chopsticks are about 1 1cm. When eating, put chopsticks on the chopsticks rack, not on the table or plate. Other taboos include not poking food with chopsticks, or pointing at people with the front end of chopsticks, and not rubbing chopsticks when disassembling disposable chopsticks. In addition, when you want to pick up the plate, you must first put down the chopsticks in your right hand, hold the plate from your right hand to your left hand, and then pick up the chopsticks to eat.

When eating with Japanese people, we often find that people like to order beer at the beginning, because Japanese people are used to raising glasses together before drinking. Beer is the fastest wine to serve, so it is impolite to order plum wine or other wine that needs more time to function at this time!

Japanese people are also very particular about the order of eating. For example, the royal dinner will be served together, and the meals must be carried out in order. Here are some places that need special attention:

1, appetizer: mostly 3, 5 and 7 courses, the ingredients are mixed with the seasons, and the color matching is quite rich.

2. Drink soup: hold the bowl with your left hand and lift the lid with your right hand. Drink soup before eating.

3. Sashimi: The taste is from light to strong, and the order is suggested to be white meat, shellfish and red meat. It is not recommended to mix mustard with soy sauce when eating sashimi.

4. Barbecue: The order is from left to right. When eating fish, you should pay attention to eating the fish in the upper layer first, then clip out the thorns, and then eat the fish in the lower layer.

5, snacks: the order is from left to right, with the left hand end plate, eat the consequences can be placed on the plate.

In China, there is no strict rule that you are not allowed to bring your own things into restaurants, but in Japan, it is different. It is forbidden to take a box lunch bought by a convenience store to Hamburg, or sit in a coffee shop and have a rest by yourself. In addition, in the busy period of the restaurant, rest after meals is not allowed.
