Customs in Japan

Japan is famous for its rich and interesting culture. If you want to take a holiday to Japan, it is important to learn about Japanese culture. There are three things that you should know before your visit.

Greetings

In Japan, people greet each other by bowing. It can be a light nod of the head or a deeper, longer bow to show respect to someone. However, most Japanese do not expect foreigners to understand their bowing etiquette, so they usually accept a handshake or a head nod.

Eating

When you eat from a small bowl of soup or rice, you should lift it with your hand to taste. Also, it is impolite if you pass food by using chopsticks to share the dishes. After you finish your meal, you should return all your dishes to how they were at the start of the meal.

Tipping

Leaving a tip is unacceptable in all Japanese restaurants. People believe that all the services are included in the final price, so you do not need to pay extra money. If you are happy with the service, just simply say thank you.
