- 10 things to know before you go to Japan.

I'm Chris, this is Topher, we're Yellow Productions.

We've got over 100 other videos on Japan,

but after you watch this one you'll be well-versed

Many people think that Japan can be difficult to get to,

hard to navigate, it's like the land of foreign things.

and after you watch this video, you'll be a pro at Japan

and if you want some specific travel guides

check out some of my other Japan travel videos.

The first thing to know before you come to Japan

Japan is a country of rules and to make things work,

they might understand if you don't understand

but it is better if you try to understand

so I'll give you a few of the Japanese etiquette basics.

First of all, the typical greeting is a bow

and the deeper the bow, the more respectful it is.

that means they are giving you more respect.

They have a certain way to sit if you're at a table

that doesn't have chairs and you're on a tatami mat,

but they'll probably expect if you understand,

But if you ever find yourself on a tatami mat

Expect to take off your shoes in certain areas of Japan.

Don't ever step on a tatami mat in bare feet.

or they hand something to you, it'll be with two hands

you will find there's a little money dish.

they will put the change back in there for you.

The Japanese are happy to help, but they are often shy

and so if you find that they don't respond

quickly right away, it's because they're shy,

or they don't understand, and when they do help

they will often really go out of their way to help you.

The second thing to know before you come to Japan

It's Japanese of course, but there's different dialects

If you're speaking in English to Japanese,

when they're looking at you or how they respond

They often also understand more than they can speak.

You may find that the way they'll respond

is by going to get somebody else or perhaps writing it down.

Just speak slowly and speak with basic words

Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto are all pretty well signed

in English, particularly the public transportation

so if you're in the big cities you won't have an issue

getting around if you don't speak Japanese.

I will say that is not so much the case in the suburbs.

the stations are just in Japanese, so good luck. (chuckles)

It's also good to have your hotel and destinations

written in Japanese, just in case you get lost

and you don't know it, just try the English variant.

But I'll say it's good to learn some basic Japanese,

a basic word I use all the time when I want water,

or if you want beer, it's (speaks in foreign language).

You say that, chances are you'll get what you want.

The third thing to know before you come to Japan

In Japan, being on time is very important.

You will find that stores close and open promptly

Bullet trains have to run within 15 seconds

otherwise they're not considered on time.
