Going on a trip is quite an experience from the expectation that forms in your stomach just thinking about it. During the last years there is a tourist destination that is on the rise, that is why the packages to Japan are among the most sought after, the reason is that on the western side we have been very exposed to oriental culture, the rise of anime contributed to everyone Let’s turn to see Japan and if you are one of those lucky ones who already has a plan, regardless of which region of Japan you will go to, we are going to give you some practical advice for your trip.

We are not referring to travel advice but to advice for when you arrive, that is why to save you some sorrow we are going to leave you things that you should NOT do in Japan.

Shoes indoors. This is not limited to Japan, it is a principle of education in any oriental country, in their culture it is very rude to enter a house with your shoes on; House owners usually have exclusive slippers for walking in the house, therefore foot hygiene is extremely important on this side of the world.
Blow your nose Have you ever noticed how in oriental productions, be it series, anime, etc., they never blow their nose? That’s because in Japan it’s considered rude to do this in public if you need to go to a private place like a room or bathroom. Otherwise you may leave a bad impression on your first day.
Tip. Just as there are places in Polanco that seem to require a tip, in Japan it is considered an insult if they leave you a tip since the waiter service is included in the bill. So avoid tipping at all costs, this also leaves a terrible impression.
Public transport. As soon as you arrive and get on public transport, you may notice something curious around you: that everything is silent. And it is that in Japan it is very, seriously very rude to eat or have noisy conversations on public transport. This is crucial to learn to respect.
Serve drinks. This point refers to the fact that in Japan we must serve other people’s drinks before our own. If we start by serving ourselves, we will end up as rude people. And if there is one thing they respect in oriental culture, it is education.
