Japan is not a religious country, but people go to shrines on New Year's Day and go to Chrisian church when they have a wedding. When they died, a Buddhist priest comes and the funeral is held in accordance with Buddhist rites. In a sense Japanese are so generous to many religions and accept many religions as they are. But it is very stragne for non-Japanese.

When Japanese enter a house, they take off their shoes and put on a pair of slippers (scuffs). It makes non-Japanse tired. But it may be helpful to make the rooms clean.

Japanese people are extremely insular and racist. They regard themselves in extreme esteem, glorifying anything domestic. Foreign culture is seen as exotic and a symbol of global influence, which only returns to the theme of group identity--a people whose scope is global and prominence is omnipresent.

It is said that Japanese are shy and too sensitive to to others. They have group-oriented mentality.
I have known the interesting fact.
Many Japanese are interested in blood types. They think of persons with A type blood as shy and introverted. But the good poin of A type persons is that they are hard working, serious and considerate to others. Interstingly enough more than 60% of Japanese people have A type blood. In terms of the blood type, it is no wonder that many non-Japanese feel that Japanese are shy and not open-minded.

In Japan people give Chritmas presents to thier family or friends on Christmas Day. Especially children get a Christmas present from their parents. Some kindergartners believe that Santa Claus comes to their home at midnight and put a Chrismas present near their bed. But when kids go to elementary school, they know the truth, that is, their parents put a Chrismas gift by their pillow.

Japanese love eating raw fish. It makes Americans so surprised. Japanese eat fish mainly caught in the sea, but Americans eat fish caught in the lakes or rivers. The fish which was caught in the lakes or the rivers doesn't taste good if you eat it without heating up. So Americans feel that they can never eat raw fish. But oceanic fish is so tasty even if you eat it without heating up. I love grilled fish the best,though.

Raw fish is gross and I have eaten many a fish freshly caught from the sea. Cooked ofcouse. Fish smells fishy.
everyone thinks foreign things are exotic.. thats what exotic means
when i was in japan they were all like wow gaijin lets all give him attention and shit, but there was no discrimination and they were all pretty polite
of course they might be thinking otherwise inside, but that doesnt concern me
being in china for a week was kinda different though, all the young men and boys stared at me and sneered and shit
Many people think Japanese are cold to non-Japanese, while Chinese and Koreans are very kind to foreigners. Whe I took a trip to Korea, China, and Japan, I felt it is true. Japanese are the coldest people to foreigners.

Japanese try to avoid talking with foreigners, so it's no wonder some foreigners feel that Japanese are cold-hearted, but they want to talk with foreigners at heart. But the language barrier makes them shy. The difference of the sentence structure between English and Japanese is so huge that it's impossible to ordinal Japanese to master English.

In Japan there are a lot of video rental rooms where you can watch porn videos and masturbate. Even many married men go to the rental rooms to watch X-rated video, because they don't have to worry about their wife's or children's eyes in that room. To watch videos about two hours you have to pay about 16 dollars. Are there this kind of rental video rooms in other countries?

And I quote: "try chinese or korean..." et al.
If you don't know about Korean then don't make playground hearsay statements about it.
How good at you at Chinese? Not at all I bet. Probably the same for English, seeing how you type. Chinese and English share nearly the same grammatical structure. All languages are in context and can be made up on the spot, fail for dumb statement.
Japanese doesn't mirror a European language at all. Object placement and verb diction, as well as conjugative structure in the language families share little to no relation.
You do know that Korean shares vocabulary and grammar structure with Japanese, right? Only difference is that Korean has a far simpler pronounciation system in which symbols are linear combinations of phomatic morphemes--whereas Japanese depends on two sets of morphemes (hiragana and katakana) with modifiers the conjunct pronounciation of phomemes.

Sushi bars sometimes leave a small bowl of salt at the doorstep when you leave. If the soy sauce is not salty enough (and it usually is not), customers are free to dip their finger in the salt and eat as much as they desire. It is an informal time when you can talk about anything with anyone!
Ok I think people are a little clueless. The reason why the Japanese treat you coldly is because you weigh 400+ pounds and spent your time sweatting and slobbering infront of some hentai in a small closed in store in which your fat is blocking up the entire aisle. I've been to Japan three times, everytime been treated GREAT. You guys are probably doing something offensive or just being an idiot. Or you decided to speak about Japan with no experience.

Japanese like boiled food as well as raw fish. They have many kinds of noodles. One is ramen. It may be the most popular. Now you can buy a lot of instant noodles at shops. Another is soba(buckwheat) noodles. The taste of the buckwheat noodes is very different from that of ramen noodles. They dip the buckwheat noodles into sauce, which is mainly made of soy sauce, and eat them. When they put the soba noodles into their mouth, they slurp, which makes noises. But it's not rude. Another one is udon noodles. Udon noodles are white in color. They make soy-flavored soup, and put udon noodles in the soup and boil them for a while. You can find many udon restaurants in Japan.

The only thing Japanese has in common with European languages is how amazingly similar sounding to Spanish its syllabes are, although it is by mere coincidence.
In Japan,three elementary-school girls have killed in this last month. First in Hiroshima prefecture by a Peruvian, second in Tochgi by unknown murderer, and the third was on last Saturday: a twelve year-old girl was killed by her teacher(!) in cramming school in Kyoto.
These murder cases shocked Japanese society so hevily. Parents worry about whether their child come back home safely everyday. Some school even began to run school buses to protect children from trouble. I`m sory my English is awful.

The reason why there are more children murder cases is that many Japanese men can't have a good communication with women because they are only trained to get good marks on the exams. Of course there are classes for ethical train at school, but it is only superficial. In Japan the most important thing is to go to a famous top-rate university. Students as well as parents never put an emphasis on the moral education of the university but put an emphasis on the acdemic level and fame of the university.
>>58
Actually, emphasis on education in Japan is nowhere as high as in Korea and urban China. Modern Japan is a lot like the US, you have your hardworking typical asian guy, but most people are fairly relaxed in comparision to Korea and China/Taiwan, where virtually every kid takes several cram schools if they can afford it.

Social contact? All I could receive from that is violence and AIDS. Morality has to be taught at schools, secondary scools, and maybe universities too.
Japanese people respected confusianism in the past. They looked up to older people, and the people who entered a company or a school ealier than they. English doesn't have the word for 'senpai'. The man who is older or entered a school earlier is called senpai. But in today's Japan this tendency is changing. Many people are losing confusian mentality.

And Japan (and its people) were derived from Bekje, which is a country formed in South Korean territory in year 500 (estimated).
Japanese kids' English pronunciation is much better than that of older people. Because they now have a lot of opportunities of listen to English spoken by native speakers through TV programs, English CDs, and Internet. What is more, the Ministry of Education has decided to give an individual listening test in the National Preliminary Test for University, which is like SAT in the US. When it comes to exams, Japanese students are very good. So English listening skills of Japanese will be much better in the near future.

In Japan those who like English and often post 2-chan are middle-aged, I guess, because young people don't learn "This is a pen" in junior high school. They learn some daily expressions first. But the problem is that Japanese students are now very poor in grammar and English composition.

In Japan people have year-end parties. In general those who work for a company get together at a Japanese style restaurant middle or late December, and drink sake or some alcoholic drink eating some dishes, recollecting the past evens. Those year-end parties called "bonenkai" are one of the biggest drinking parties in Japan. It is almost compulsory that worker join this party. The bad point is that not a company but each woker has to defray his own costs of attending.

You don't have to be christian to enjoy the summer solstice. It's a much older celebration than christianity; christians just took it and made it theirs. Santa, Santa's clothes, decorating trees and houses, etc. is not christian and it has nothing to do with christianity by the way.
That's exactly the greatness of Christmas: everyone, Westerner or Asian, christian or atheist, white or black, tall or short, enjoys Christmas.
I'm an atheist and Christmas is my favorite day of the year and the one tradition I want to keep forever.

Interestingly, Wapanese are generally though of as “failures” and rejects within their own culture. Social scientists such as myself speculate that it was their failure to gain acceptance within their own culture than has lead many a white geek to seek out Japan’s culture as a surrogate; however, they’d be shattered to know that the insular and somewhat racist Japanese society would be even less accepting of them than the people of their true and native culture.

In Japan English study is so popular. Many Japanese, maybe No. 1 in the world take TOEIC tests. But the biggest problem is that when it comes to speaking English, Japanese are very poor. A Japanse who has been in the US for more than twenty years said that he can little understand English movies even now. It may be impossible for Japanese to understand English movies almost 100%. But it would be impossible to understand foreign movies 100% in regardless of his or her nationality.
