This video, titled "9 things you should never do in Japan," is a humorous and informative guide for those visiting Japan. The host, Joe, introduces the video and shares his excitement about meeting the host of the YouTube channel "Only in Japan," who has lived in Japan for 10 years. Joe shares his plan to leave Tokyo and meet his new friend, who has over half a million subscribers and whose videos are all about Japan.
Joe and his friend engage in a friendly conversation, and Joe introduces "Only in Japan" to his audience. Joe then proceeds to share nine things tourists should never do in Japan:
1. Eating while walking: It's considered rude to eat while walking in public, especially near vending machines.
2. Using chopsticks for non-food purposes: In Japan, chopsticks are not just utensils for eating; they also have cultural significance and are associated with death.
3. Tipping: Japanese people value their own reputation and work hard to provide good service. They do not expect or accept tips.
4. Speaking loudly on public transportation: It's common courtesy to use the silent mode on phones in public places.
5. Wearing a mask when not sick: While wearing a mask is a good practice when sick, it's also seen as rude to wear one when you're not ill.
6. Touching people: Public displays of affection, such as hugs, are not common in Japan. Instead, people greet each other by bowing.
7. Leaving shoes on: In Japan, it's important to remove shoes in public places, especially indoors, because many people sit on the floor.
8. Not finding trash: Japanese people are very responsible about picking up trash and recycling at home.
9. Devaluing business cards: In Japan, business cards are considered important and are exchanged during meetings. It's disrespectful to pass them around or throw them away.
Joe concludes the video by wishing his audience wellness and happiness, and invites them to like, share, and subscribe to his channel.
