@tic_tac_mangaeu: WHICH JAPANESE RULES CAN YOU ACTUALLY IGNORE? 🇯🇵 Are you absolutely terrified of breaking our strict cultural rules when visiting Japan? Instead of stressing over every single detail, let us explore exactly which rules you can respectfully bend and which ones you must fiercely protect together, side by side! First, let us look at the softer guidelines. You have probably heard that eating or drinking on the streets, or casually chatting with a friend on the train, are completely forbidden. While locals definitely prefer you avoid these actions, they are actually just soft rules you can sometimes respectfully ignore without causing a massive scene. However, there are absolute strict boundaries you cannot ignore under any circumstances! First, absolutely never talk on your phone while riding the train. It deeply disturbs the shared public peace. Second, never go straight into an onsen bath before performing kakeyu, which is thoroughly rinsing your entire body first. This is a massive sign of respect for the shared water and our local traditions. Which of these cultural rules completely surprised you? Let me know down in the comments below, and let us continue to discover the true Japan together! 👇 #japan #japanculture #tokyo #japantravel #discoverjapan
