Japanese tourist taboos

Japan's cherry blossoms and cartoons have become the tourist labels of this city. Many tourists visit Japan every year, but there are many taboos when traveling in Japan. If you accidentally offend them, it will be impolite. First, don't photograph passers-by's eyelids. Japan is very strict in paying attention to privacy. Even if TV programs photograph passers-by, they will mosaic their faces to respect and protect their personal portrait rights and privacy rights. Therefore, when taking pictures in Japan, we should pay special attention to the fact that when we see a woman wearing a traditional kimono, it is best to ask the other person's permission before taking pictures.

Secondly, many restaurants in Japan are full of tatami, so guests are required to take off their shoes and enter. At this time, remember to put the shoes neatly with the toes facing outwards.

thirdly, you will be given a big towel and a small towel before soaking in a hot spring, but it should be noted that the big towel is to dry your whole body after soaking, and the small towel is to wrap your hair and wipe the water stains on your face. These are the taboos of Japanese tourism, so don't make them.
