How to Japanese Culture

Japan is a fascinating and unique country, but it’s not all sunshine and sushi. As foreigners, we can never assimilate into Japanese culture, but we can still attempt to follow the cultural norms and customs. I was personally shocked by a few aspects of “normal” life in Japan, and how different it is from “normal” life in America. I made this video to explain what I experienced. Enjoy.

My Top 10 Culture Shocks

  • Japanese children are safe outside.

  • No homeless. No wokeness. No road rage.

  • American culture has no respect.

  • “Your money is no good here.”

  • Everybody leaves Japan eventually.

  • Weed is secretly “legal” in Japan

  • Japanese people pray once a year.

  • The menu is set. No special requests.

  • Japanese don’t buy secondhand.

  • Nobody wants to hear your opinion.
