Are you going to Japan for the first time ?

 

Those who are going to Japan for the first time should remember a few things. Japan reminds us Tokyo. But in fact, there are many places to see in this country. There are many cities like Osaka, Kyoto, Nagano and Yokohama. Wherever we go, we should respect the local customs and culture. If you want to go to any house or some business place in Japan, you have to leave your slippers outside. Also, when we go to a restaurant, we should not give a tip to the servers or employees working there by mistake. And they take it seriously.  

Tattoos should not be displayed in public. If you want to be respected, you have to respect others. This means that if you do so, you are being respected. Stand on the left side on the escalators. If you want to travel cheaply in Japan, you need to buy a rail pass. Buses, trains and other means of transport are cheap. Otherwise, it will be costly. Most people in the city speak English. So language is not a problem. It would also be useful to download the Japanese dictionary in Google Translate.

 In Japan, cash is more widely used than cards. It is important to have enough cash on hand when shopping.

Cash can be obtained using cards not only at ATMs, but also at post offices and 7 Eleven stores. Unlimited internet can be used to buy pocket Wi-Fi rather than data roaming. To experience the flavours of their local cuisine and hospitality in Japan, one must stay in a traditional abode called Ryokan. That is, they are like a kind of lodge. There is a luggage service called Takuhabin. If your luggage is heavy enough, just give them an address and they will bring it there. This is done at a nominal cost. The Japanese give a lot of importance to cleanliness. If there is any garbage then keep it in your pocket till you reach the hotel or if there is any store nearby then put it in the dustbin there.

The emphasis in primary education is on keeping the surroundings and house clean, learning how to mingle among  people, how to cooperate with each other, and so on. Every child above the age of five should learn these things. They clean the school and the office. Schools that teach this type of mannerism from an early age are called yo-chin in Japanese. It is best to visit Japan between March and May and between September and November.
