Without further ado, let's get right to the point.

1. The seats on Japanese trains or subways are warm in winter.

Japanese girls are bare-legged come winter, but their car seats are hot and very comfortable.

2. You can take your pet to public places as long as you put it in a pet bag or air box.

Different countries have different rules about pets entering and leaving public places. In Japan, pets can be brought into subways or other public places as long as they stay in a bag or crate.

3. Pregnant women can receive a special sign when they become pregnant.

When a pregnant woman is pregnant, she will lead a sign on her bag that reads "Baby in the womb", and when passengers see it, they will offer to give up their seats, and they will be treated with courtesy and care when traveling.

4. There is free change available at the "Don Giovanni".

"Donkyuto is a famous shopping mall in Japan and is popular with overseas tourists. Inside the store, there are 1-yen coins that customers can use to settle their final payment. Since Japan's consumption tax is 8% and it takes a lot of time to find change at the checkout, this is a good way to speed up the checkout process.

5. Women are required to change their "husband's name" when they marry, and they are also required to change their name when they remarry.

In Japan, the family name is the same as in Europe and the United States. After divorce and remarriage, the family name must be changed in a timely manner. However, there are exceptions, the Japanese Cabinet Minister Kakuei Tanaka's daughter, Tanaka Makiko served as Japan's Foreign Minister, she is the only legal heir of Kakuei Tanaka, all her life with her maiden name.

(Pictured are Shinzo Abe and his wife Akie Abe↓)

6. When renting an apartment, give the landlord a "gift".

When you pay rent for the first time, you have to pay one month's rent, a gratuity, a deposit, an insurance premium, a handling fee, etc., of which the gratuity is for the landlord. However, there are many real estate agents who do not accept the "gift money" anymore.

7. It costs money to throw away household appliances.

Not only household appliances, but also large pieces of furniture are required to purchase disposal coupons to be affixed to the discarded items and dropped off at a designated location on a specified date, waiting for someone to collect them.

8. The Japanese are very fond of the stories of the Three Kingdoms.

Japan knows the history of the Three Kingdoms period in China like the back of its hand, so if you can't find anything to talk about for a while, try talking about the Three Kingdoms when you talk to Japanese people.

9. Maternity leave for female employees is one year.

Maternity leave in China is usually 120 days, and in Japan it is usually one full year.

10. Japanese people can work part-time from high school.

Being self-reliant & not giving trouble is a code of behavior instilled in Japanese people from a young age, and Japanese people are allowed to work part-time and earn their own pocket money from the time they are in high school.

11. Taxi drivers are mostly retired elderly people.

After retirement, Japanese men do not want to be idle people who can't do anything, and most of them will choose to "rehire" or engage in other jobs. If you take a taxi in Japan, you will see that most of the cab drivers are old men with gray hair.

12. Elderly Japanese do not help with children.

If you have one child, you don't help to bring up the child, and if you have N children, you don't help to bring up the child. The Japanese believe that bringing up a child is a matter for the young couple to do on their own, and that they should not cause trouble for the elders in the family.

13. Go to the grocery store after 9 p.m. to get discounted ingredients.

Especially fresh ingredients, the shelf life is marked on the package, after the shelf life must be thrown away, so the supermarket will be posted after 8:00 pm OR 9:00 pm discount labeling promotions.

14. When a woman divorces, she gets half of the "family property".

In Japan, a housewife's pension and insurance accounts are tied to her husband's and are applied for and managed by the company he works for. In the event of a divorce, both parties are required to divide not only the amount of previous contributions, but also the "obligation" to continue making contributions. After the divorce, the ex-husband is required to pay his wife a consolation allowance, as well as alimony based on the number of children and the length of the marriage.

15. The Imperial family in Japan has only a first name, not a last name.

Since the Emperor and the Imperial family of Japan are the legendary clan of the gods, they do not have human family names, do not have the right to vote or to be elected, and are not governed by the laws of Japan's family registry, but rather by the specially formulated Imperial Code, which regulates their daily lives.

Welcome to my public number 'Sophie's Japan', from time to time to update some Japanese anecdotes, Japanese culture and society introduction and personal essays: SophieinTokyo

One of the most interesting habits of the Japanese is to nod their heads when they meet people. This can be said to be the signature action of the Japanese. Whether it is a stranger or an acquaintance, the Japanese people as long as they meet, will nod and ha ha, the frequency of which can be said to be the world's first; the degree of stooping is also the world's first, the head is bent to the waist up.

Many Chinese people are uncomfortable with this and look down on them for this practice.

Looking at this chart, mostThe Chinese would call out, "Bitch is just pretentious."

Actually.Nodding and bowing is a Japanese habit.

They did so, not by patting themselves on the back, butIt's a kind of courtesy. It is said to be a "foreign product" introduced from China during the Tang Dynasty.

In Japan, if a person doesn't nod and bow to others, he or she is considered impolite - so the more "civilized" a person is, the more he or she likes to nod and bow.

However, behind the seemingly humble, kind, and courteous appearance of the Japanese, there is a hidden "unyieldingness" in the nodding and bowing.”Even the national character of "success or failure". Isn't it scary?

Daddy takes a bath with his daughter.

In Japan, many people know that families take turns sharing bath water, but it's a bit inefficient to do it one person at a time. A more common pattern is for dads to share the bath with their daughters. As for the soaking together to how old it, this depends on the parents and children's judgment. Some stop soaking together around age 9, and some daughters are high schoolers and still soak together (though it's rare).

Just imagine that picture for yourself.

Japanese people eat KFC on Christmas

Although Christmas is a Western holiday, it has become a very important national holiday in Japan, and almost the whole month of December is filled with Christmas atmosphere, which is much better than in China.

It has become customary for Japanese to go to KFC for Christmas, and it is said that many Japanese have been brainwashed by media advertisements to think of KFC when they think of Christmas.During the three days from December 23rd to 25th, KFC is overcrowded, and if you don't make a reservation before it's too late, you won't be able to get in the door (exaggeration face). It is said that KFC's sales during the three days of Christmas can account for about 10% of the year's turnover, which shows how much fried chicken the Japanese have to eat at Christmas.

I. Most Japanese houses have separate toilets and bathrooms, and you need to change your shoes to enter the toilet. The toilet will put special slippers, can only be used in the toilet, not accustomed to the people may easily forget to wear this slippers out. Second, many toilets have a faucet above the tank, every time you use the toilet after flushing, the faucet out of the water used to wash your hands, wash your hands after the water flows into the tank below for the next flush of the toilet water. In addition, there will be a towel hanging on the side of the toilet to wipe your hands. Third, go out and drink with others do not pour their own wine, at the same time you have to pay attention to the other side of the glass, once the other side of the drink need to pour the other side of the wine, pouring posture is also a little delicate. Girls if they pour their own wine, that is definitely the behavior of women, married out. Please automatically imagine the girl holding a beer bottle to pour their own look. Fourth, Japan to sit in taxi, generally sit behind, the most important thing is that the back door is automatically open and close, get on and off the car without passengers to switch the door, not accustomed to the people will go to the switch themselves. Fifth, the Japanese bus back door to get on, front door off. When you get on the back door of the ticket machine to take a ticket, when you get off the ticket and money together into the front door side of the machine (transportation rental box) inside. Six, the Japanese will be accustomed to the ramen, gyoza and rice together. Worshiping the Fox Fairy There is a special faith called Inari faith in Japan, and the deity worshipped is "Inari", or the fox fairy. Most small shrines have shrines to Inari, and some even have shrines to civet cats ---- because foxes and civet cats are said to be animals that can transform. The role of the fox fairy is to bless the family with peace and prosperity. Eight, Japanese people married men and women are sleeping in separate beds, because both sides have different habits when sleeping, in order to respect each other's habits so are sleeping in separate beds (except for a certain period of time) So the general sale of the beds, many of which can be put together, can be separated from the design of the style. Nine, in Japan, the high school all have to wear black, with the yakuza. Ten, Japan's public restrooms, women's toilets generally have a button, press can imitate the sound of running water. That's because Japanese girls think let others hear the sound of their own peeing is very shy, so boo boo generally have to first press the button of the sound of running water.

The purpose of telling the human details of Tokyo is not to eulogize how great the city is, but to use it as a reference to show more people that the city can be made even more impeccable.

Just as many Japanese don't understand China, most people don't understand Japan. Putting aside politics and hostility, what is the real Japan like? Today, we will take you into the Japanese folklore, from the details to feel their humanities, customs.

1. As we all know, throwing away garbage in Japan is a very delicate matter, and in the disposal of bulky garbage (discarded clothes, furniture, electrical appliances, etc.) is required to pay a very high garbage disposal fee, so generally do not want to put the bulky items next to the entrance of their homes, passers-by will pick up the need to do so, or else it is necessary to declare, to confirm the date of recycling and the cost of the purchase of bulky garbage disposal vouchers, fill out the information and stick it on the disposal of the goods! ...... It's enough of a headache to look at~this method is really convenient and beneficial to people.

2. Nine times out of ten, if you lose something in Japan, you will get it back. I lost my wallet on the train and realized it was gone when I got home, so I went to the railroad company's Lost and Found Center to report the loss, and within two hours or so I was told that someone had sent my wallet to me and asked me to go get it. The probability of getting something back is really high in Japan! Just a quick note: Stealing a wallet is considered "theft" under Japanese law, and depending on the circumstances, it is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to 500,000 yen (roughly 30,000 RMB at the current exchange rate). Stealing a heavy loss, the thief said it is not worth it ~, coupled with Japan attaches great importance to honesty and education, so, once picked up other people's wallets are the first time to the hands of the police uncle!

3. Chinese origin culture, which has been preserved and passed down by Japan. In the streets of Japan, you can often see people wearing kimono, which has become a habit of Japanese people. In the past, Kyoto, the capital city of Japan, was planned and built with reference to the city of Chang'an and Luoyang during the Tang Dynasty. If you want to dream of the Tang Dynasty, why not take a trip to Kyoto?

4. When crossing the street in Japan, go to the middle of the road into a red light, you can continue to walk through without panic, no car will be honking to urge, are waiting quietly, waiting for you to reach completely, only slowly drive out. The whole process is quiet and polite. (Note the picture: the little red car has not started)

5. The most authentic Japanese high school girls, each school has a different uniform, but they all look great. Schools actually regulate the length of girls' skirts and don't allow them to be too short. Skirts and stockings and sailor suits are the daily routine of high school girls. In addition, you don't see a single woman on the streets of Japan who doesn't wear makeup, and high school students wear makeup, whether it's light or heavy, and I have to say, it's beautiful! Japanese women's makeup skills are truly one of a kind, worthy of being one of the four Asian sorcerers.

6. Japan Shinkansen, fast and stable! The Shinkansen, which began operation on October 1, 1964, was the world's first high-speed railroad to carry passengers. Since it began operation, there have been almost no accidents resulting in deaths due to human factors, so it is known as one of the safest high-speed railroads in the world, and is also the smoothest train in the world.

7. If you have been to Japan, you should know that many streets in Japan are infested with wild cats. Because Japanese cities are relatively clean, even wild cats do not look scruffy, they often walk along the street, sunbathing on the wall, or squatting on benches to rest, and naturally blend in with the surrounding scene. There are also Japanese people who prepare water and cans for these feral cats every day. Since the Japanese people love cats, the wild cats are not afraid of people, but rather live a very comfortable life!

8. Japan's transportation is really convenient, but also really expensive. General Japan ordinary travel roughly cost 145 ~ 350 yen between, the average office worker will choose to buy from home to the company's monthly ticket, a month about 1w yen ~ 1.7w yen ranging. But this cost is reimbursed by the company, so you can rest assured. Besides, people in Tokyo basically take the train to work, whether you are a boss or an employee. One reason is that the train is very punctual, usually not late, and even if you are late, there will be a late book for you to prove it. Another reason is that Japanese companies don't usually keep cars, but rent them or report them.

9. Japanese people are known globally for their high work pressure, and they are really good at having quite kawaii statements and signs wherever they are and whatever position they hold. But it won't stop the Japanese from committing suicide, some choose to jump off the tram, some choose to go to the suicide forest.

Aokigahara Sea of Trees is known as Japan's "suicide forest", originating from a novel by Seicho Matsumoto, "Sea of Shawasaki Trees" (in Japanese, "Wave No Towers"), in which two of the main characters commit suicide in the Sea of Trees, which in turn attracts a lot of Japanese who want to live lightly to imitate, and every year more than 100 corpses are found.

Here's a picture of the suicide forest

Japan is a very stressful society, so if you have friends or relatives who are studying and struggling alone in Japan, please remember that when you contact them, instead of always encouraging them to "go for it" and "work hard", you should always tell them that "...there are many paths in life, so stop when you are tired and no one will blame you" because they are really working hard enough! Instead of encouraging them to "go for it" or "work hard", please tell them that "there are many paths in life, so stop when you are tired and no one will blame you" because they are really working hard enough!

10. Japan as a developed country, the environment is really first class. The streets are very clean, and the air and everything else in the Japanese environment is fantastic. This is all thanks to the way Japan recycles and disposes of its garbage. In Japan, as much as 100 million tons of household garbage and 200 million tons of industrial waste are generated in a year. Japan is an energy-poor country, and in order to facilitate the disposal of this waste and maximize the effective use of recycled waste, strict rules for waste disposal have been established throughout Japan. In their daily lives, Japanese citizens attach great importance to and cooperate vigorously with these rules, and have formed fixed methods and good habits for the time of garbage disposal, the number of times garbage is taken out, the places where garbage is taken out, and the sorting of garbage.

Love to take off my shoes!

Love to take off my shoes!

Love to take off my shoes!

Shoes are taken off in classrooms, shoes are taken off in libraries, shoes are taken off on trolleys, shoes are taken off in museums and art galleries, shoes are taken off in movie theaters, and people take off their shoes in just about any scene you can think of where you can sit down and take off your shoes. Men, women and children of all ages take off their shoes.

The most most unacceptable is in the restaurant ah cafeteria and other places to take off your shoes, you are eating ah take off what shoes!

I really can't accept this habit, although there is no example of air pollution by removing shoes so far, but psychologically I can't accept the habit of Japanese people taking off their shoes when they sit down.

Japanese Language Habits Echoing and Nodding Yes It is said that the Japanese have a habit of frequently echoing and nodding yes during conversations. "Yes," "Uh, yes?" Including such words, as well as nodding and stooping postures, etc., it has been observed in surveys that they occur once every few seconds in everyday conversations. It is worth noting, however, that all of this does not mean "right" or "got it", but simply "Ah, yeah?" "Is that so?" etc. It is just a reaction to what the other person has said. If you come into contact with a Japanese person who has such a habit, you will be surprised if you think, "He really said that he was sure at that moment. On the other hand, Japanese who are accustomed to echoing the words of a foreigner who does not show any reaction in a conversation feel uneasy and have the feeling, "Is this person listening to what I am saying?" Euphemisms Even when Japanese people have a clear opinion, they avoid direct expressions such as "I think so" or "My opinion is this" and instead use the phrase "I'm afraid so? " "I would like to consider it this way, what do you think?" Such tactful phrasing makes it obvious that the expression is considered appropriate and polite. By making it clear in the language, giving the other party room for consideration and judgment, it shows a gesture of listening to the other party's response before expressing one's own assertion. Greetings Japanese people often greet each other with pleasantries. From waking up in the morning to going to bed at night, there is a wide variety of stereotypical greetings in various situations in daily life. However, greeting each other is limited to those who are considered friends in some sense. For example, if you meet someone you don't know while walking in the park or if you are sitting in the same seat in a transportation vehicle, you don't speak to each other unless there are special circumstances. On such occasions, the other person is an outsider who has nothing to do with each other. 2, the Japanese manner gestures Japanese manner gestures, there are Japanese unique or and other cultures in the meaning and use of different places. Bowing: Japanese people greet each other by bowing. When standing, the feet are brought together and erect, and the head is bent at the waist and bowed. It ranges from a general curtsy to an upper-body-to-90-degree bow. The angle of bowing varies according to the severity of the etiquette. In a room covered with tatami mats, it is necessary to sit down to perform the salute. Bend your upper body in the "shouza" position, place your hands on the ground in front of you, and bow your head. Generally, Japanese people do not touch each other's bodies when they salute, and traditionally there is no shaking of hands. Sometimes Japanese people do shake hands, but mostly on special occasions such as between Japanese and foreigners, campaigners and voters, and celebrities and movie fans. Sitting posture: In schools and companies, people generally sit in chairs. However, in the home, Japanese people still maintain the traditional sitting position on a tatami. Recently, there are more Western-style apartments and dining rooms in ordinary homes, so the number of young people who do not sit on tatami mats is increasing. The correct way to sit on a tatami is called "Shojo," where you bend your feet with your knees together and sit with your buttocks on your heels. People who are not accustomed to sitting in the "Shojo" position in their daily lives will find it difficult to sit in this position, and their feet will become numb. The easier ways to sit are "cross-legged sitting" and "horizontal sitting". Cross-legged sitting means crossing your feet in front of you, with your buttocks on the ground. Women wearing pants may occasionally sit with their legs crossed, but this is mainly a male form of sitting. "Yokozuna" is sitting with the legs of the "front seat" slightly crossed, and this is mainly seen in women. O and X: In Japan, the meaning of the symbols O and X is very clear: O stands for positive images such as being correct, passing, and winning, while X stands for negative images such as being wrong, failing, losing, and failing. Therefore, any shape of O and X can be interpreted as containing this meaning. As a gesture, use the thumb and forefinger or raise both arms above the head to form a circle to represent O, and cross the forefingers of both hands or arms to represent X. Counting Numbers: 1-10 can be counted with only one hand. 1-5 can be represented by bending the fingers of the thumb, forefinger, and middle finger in that order. 6 -10 can be counted by reversing the numbering sequence. -To count from 6 to 10, you bend your fingers one at a time, starting with your little finger. This counting method can be used in a wide range of ways, with no gender, age or other restrictions. To indicate the number to the other person, turn the palm of the hand toward the other person, gently close the fingers together, and then put them up one by one in the order of index finger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger, and thumb. To indicate the numbers 6-10, use the other hand with the same motion. Waving: Release your hand gently with the palm facing downward and swing your wrist back and forth from the front toward your side several times. This method can be used without gender or age restrictions. However, it is rude to wave to someone of high status or seniority, so try to avoid it. Yourself: To indicate "That's me" or "Me? When you mean "That's me" or "Me?", you point your index finger to your nose. Banzai: This is a gesture to raise your hand to express your happiness when you win a competition or have good luck. In most cases, everyone cheers "Banzai" at the same time to express the mood of celebrating luck and wishing for happiness. 3, the Japanese do not invite guests to work into the home Japanese people are not accustomed to receiving business guests in their own homes or the whole family out to socialize. They do not like to bring work to the home since ancient times and call it a virtue, in addition to self-employment, wives are not involved in their husbands' work. When there is a need to socialize with business clients, they go to a place that specializes in serving drinks and banquets. Serving the family's dishes to entertain important business guests is difficult to do, and there is no servant to help, to serve decent dishes is undoubtedly a housewife can not cope with, and child care nannies are not available. Cadres sometimes entertained their subordinates, people of the same status as themselves, or their superiors in their homes, usually only when they were building a new house. Throughout history, the same was true: the emperor and the shogun almost never visited the homes of their subordinates and retainers, and occasionally some of them were written up in history as major events. Japanese people who had been entertained by foreign friends in their homes when they traveled to foreign countries were also eager to be entertained in their own homes when their foreign friends came to Japan. However, they all felt that their homes were too simple and small compared to those of their friends, and that they could not entertain them in any way. Especially when it comes to entertaining foreign friends, housewives and children who do not know foreign languages and are not accustomed to interacting with foreigners, as well as those who have different food habits, have an added mental burden. 4. Japanese customs different from those of foreign countries Bathing: Japanese people take baths not only to wash their bodies, but also as a habit of immersing their bodies in the bath and slowly warming them up. So washing the body and removing dirt are done outside the bath. The hot water in the bath can be warmed up, and when the hot water decreases, more water can be added to warm it up. The fact that several people go into the same bath means that they are all very close, trusting friends, and that the last person drains the bath when he or she is done. Unlucky numbers: Japanese people avoid "4" and "9". Because the pronunciation of "4" is the same as "death", and the pronunciation of "9" is the same as "bitter". "9" means bitter. Some hotels do not have 13, 4 or 9 as room numbers. No tipping system: Before World War II, some hotels and transportation agencies used to accept tips, but recently this has basically disappeared. 5. Habits you should not have in Japan Kissing in front of people: Japanese people consider kissing in front of people to be embarrassing. Hugging: Touching another person's body is considered rude in Japan. Men and women generally do not shake hands with each other, except for those in a romantic relationship. Chewing gum in front of people: Smoking is allowed, but chewing gum is not. It is also considered rude to eat alone when no one else is eating. Entering a house with shoes on: When entering a Japanese house, shoes must be removed. Peeking into the kitchen of another person's home: In Japan, it is rude to peek into the kitchen when visiting someone's home. Civil disputes are easily taken to court: Japanese people value relationships of trust more than contractual relationships in their personal lives. As a result, most disputes are settled through negotiation between the parties involved or through an intermediary. Only when the relationship between the parties deteriorates significantly do they go to court. The number of lawyers is only 1/30 of that in the U.S. 6. Japanese Business Cards In Japan, business cards are widely used, especially by businessmen, who are in the habit of exchanging business cards when they first meet each other. In addition to the name of the person, the business card also bears the name of the work unit, organization, the department to which the person belongs, his or her job title, his or her address, and his or her telephone number, etc. Women mostly use smaller cards than men. Most women use smaller business cards than men. It is considered a courtesy to give the business card to the lower or younger person first. When handing over a business card, face it towards the other party. Folding the card or writing something on it is considered rude to the other party. It is often said that Japanese people like to give gifts. Not only in the wedding, birthday occasion to give some gifts, but also in the usual visit to bring some gifts, show some respect and goodwill, which has become a habit of the Japanese. R. Arrey, who worked as an assistant in the Reagan administration's National Security Agency, had to resign after receiving a $1,000 cash check and watch from a Japanese publisher as payment for an interview because he forgot to declare it. In Japan, it is extremely common to give some money or goods for an interview, but in the United States, senior government officials and assistants are prohibited from quietly accepting any gifts. It can be said that the Arrey incident exemplifies the difference in custom between Japan and the United States in terms of gift-giving. Among the various gift-giving events, the most representative are Nakamoto and Setsubun. Nakamoto is the month of June or July and expresses summer greetings; Setsubun is at the end of the year and expresses gratitude for the year. Both Nakamoto and Setsubun are seasonal gifts that are given to those who usually take care of you. Recently, many department stores are competing by offering new services, such as the "answering service," which allows you to order directly from your home or office by phone, and the "time delivery service," which allows you to have your gift delivered at a specified time. Noodles are eaten at the time of moving in, and the noodles are handed out in the vicinity of the new residence while introducing oneself and saying "please take care of me." Sometimes, handkerchiefs or snacks are given instead of noodles. In addition, the housewives, who are in charge of the household economy, have a hard time raising money for socializing because there are so many different kinds of gifts, such as children's holidays, school entrance, promotion, Bar Mitzvah, congratulations on the promotion of a colleague in the company, and congratulations on the recovery of a friend from an illness. Recognizing the worries of housewives, the "gift buying business" was born. Since there were many duplicates of gifts received by some families that had been left unused for a long time, this industry was popular among housewives because they bought gifts at a low price and then sold them at a low price.
