been living in japan for a while, everyone walks and eats (specially in the mornings), i’m convinced it’s a unban legend at this point

i’m half japanese and i live in japan part time. i’ve never understood the whole “don’t walk and eat” thing, i see locals do it all the time, and me and my friends(japanese) do it all the time. why is it disrespectful? maybe i’m just always hanging around my high school friends when i’m in japan so i dont notice the proper etiquette?

Also get a coin purse~ and usually the trash by vending machines are for bottles and cans only, not all trash

handing and receiving money with two hands was a big one for me!

As a person who was a tourist in Japan for a bit more than half a month, Japanese people talk in the metros. ESPECIALLY if there are a lot of them or if you’re going out, they usually talk in there. Also people eat while walking, I went to Hiroshima and saw people eating while walking.

I know this is probably not true and maybe I fell for ragebait but I saw a video where it’s apparently disrespectful to have headphones/earphones on in public transport? Is this true? 😭

I remember getting to kindly scolded in the supermarket when I walked away without putting my basket back. It's awful but in the UK the shop assistants always put the baskets away and I just didn't even think about it. I am so glad the Japanese shop assistant called me back to put my own back because now I do it all the time back home. It was a really small gesture that just highlighted to me the difference in social responsibility and that small entitlement I shouldn't expect 🥰

What about walking and drinking? Like getting a drink from Starbucks. Does that follow the same etiquette about walking and eating?

Its ok to eat/drink low-key while walking.. just dont litter.. and dont eat on public transportations. Japanese eat while walking all the time.

I don’t think this “don’t fold your bills in half” is entirely correct. A lot of Japanese wallets are folded but I do agree that I’ve never really seen crumpled bills in transactions.

Nooooo Ok so the escalator warns to take the stairs when in a rush, DONT WALK on the escalator and stand on both sides... because the escalators were getting wonky HAHAHAHA but still everybody is standing on one side anyway because...? Old habits die hard?

Was on a business trip a few years ago, and asked a Tokyo based colleague about the whole eating while walking. No such thing nowadays was his reply.

idk man, as a gaijin living in inaka Tottori, I've seen almost every single Japanese person here doing the complete opposite of everything you've said here.

I have a wallet that folds every bill in half because it’s just made that way, it’s small and it’s foldable… I’m going to Japan on a student exchange, do I need to get a new wallet among the other 1001 things I need to buy or do?
