Characteristics of Japanese Lifestyle: Notes on Japanese Tourism

Japan, known as the most eastern country, has a civilization history of more than 2,000 years. Japan is also a highly developed modern country with relatively scarce natural resources. However, people's simple appearance and service are world-class and it is a good tourist destination. However, the Japanese lifestyle still has many characteristics, so you must pay attention to some details when traveling to Japan.

1. Japanese tenants clean their rooms super clean when they refund their rent.

This can be understood as the Japanese love cleanliness. In addition, the Japanese feel that it is a very commendable etiquette to borrow things from others and keep them clean after use.

2. Japanese people especially like taking a bath, no matter girls or boys.

As long as you look at the dazzling array of shower gels, lotions and antiperspirants in Japanese supermarkets, you will know how important personal hygiene is to Japanese people, even to the point of cleanliness. In Japan, most people take a bath twice every morning and evening, and the clothes they wear today will never be the same as yesterday. Or take a bath, soak in a hot spring and change clothes in every hotel when you are on a business trip.

Japanese people need to wear shoes when they enter schools, companies, gyms and even toilets.

The so-called upper shoes are indoor shoes that must be replaced when entering schools, companies, gyms or some sightseeing places. Because in Japan, footwear is the floorboard of shoes. Therefore, when Japanese employees come to the company, they often punch in first, then go to the locker room to change into company uniforms and shoes, and then enter the office. The same is true of schools. There are special shoe cabinets at the entrance of primary and junior high school teaching buildings in Japan. Before entering the teaching building, students should put on suitable shoes or bring shoe covers. Some schools also require students to wear uniform soft-soled shoes.

4. The cleanliness of Japanese toilets, it is said that toilet water can be drunk directly.

In Japan, toilets without wastepaper baskets must have toilet paper. On the one hand, toilet paper made of recycled pulp will melt when it meets water, thus avoiding the "secondary pollution" of waste toilet paper to the toilet environment. Cleaning toilets in Japan is not physical but mental. Cleaners need to use all kinds of clean water, use all kinds of tools and adopt different procedures to clean toilets according to different dirt. Easy first, then difficult, step by step, and make no mistakes.

When checking out in a Japanese bookstore, the clerk always asks, "1, does the book need a cover?" ), the average Japanese book buyer will give a positive answer. They cherish books and like to keep them tidy. Japanese people don't fold books, but use all kinds of exquisite bookmarks, which also makes the quality of second-hand books in Japan very high.

There are many second-hand bookstores in Japan, such as BOOKOFF, the largest chain bookstore of second-hand books in Japan, with nearly 1,000 stores nationwide, and few second-hand bookstores in China. However, there is an online second-hand book processing platform sent by squirrels, which can easily help you get rid of idle second-hand books at home. And the express delivery is to pick up the pieces at home. Even if you don't send it, you can get books from others for free.
