[viewpoint of the foreigner] should know it before going to Japan, and is nine Ⅲ
Prime Minister Abe spoke that the next aim "is to aim at 20 million number of the visit to Japan foreigner tourists by 2020 when the Tokyo Olympics are held", but it is delicious, and it may be to the foreign tourist who will increase in future with the times when it is demanded from we Japanese that I cope.

When I guide a foreigner in Japan, a Japanese to receive is thankful to some extent beforehand since before having come to Japan when I acquire knowledge about a country called Japan. Therefore I introduce "nine things that you should know before coming to Japan" that Phoebe of the Australian woman who visited Japan this time advises it with blog. Please refer to the one with the plan to guide a foreigner in Japan.




  
[7] I observe a manner
 Anyway, let's keep courtesy original しくを in mind in Japan. "I'm sorry ," I will talk in a polite way with a smile when a local person, the person of the hotel, a shop salesclerk talk to what kind of person using the word, "thank you" "asking" for. Because oneself acts in the same way as the person of the circumference, I can feel Japanese "culture of the respect" with skin.
 

[8] The ATM is difficult
In one of the dissatisfaction that visit to Japan foreigners say well, there is, "how to use ATM is difficult". It seems to be a task of extreme difficult thing doing foreign business in the ATM being in that place and that find the thing trading with the bank of the own country.
 


Taking down the advice of Phoebe a little too much there there if a drawer in cash finds made ATM. I put the cash in the locker of the hotel during sightseeing, and carry it little by little. And I put down the place if I find the made ATM of the drawer and am to be able to go immediately when cash was necessary again.
 
[9] You should wear the shoes which it is easy to take off
According to we Japanese, I am common, but Japan is a country than Europe and America with many "places not to put with being without shoes". There is a scene changing shoes at a bar and an inn, various places including the hot spring. I have a trouble if I wear the race up boots to a knee in such a case to take it off. I will tell, "you should bring the shoes which it is easy to take off" to a foreigner coming to Japan.

[4] I understand an art when I get on a train

In addition, Phoebe talks when there is an art to get on a train of Tokyo.
 
・I do not get on a train in the rush hour. Because it is crushed!
・The place that it is very quiet in the Japanese train, and is peaceful. In deference to Japanese culture, it is important that I am quiet in the same way, and リスペクト does the person of the circumference!
・I do not sit in the priority seat (the elderly, pregnant woman, seat of the person with a disability). I hand over a seat as needed at the common seat
 ・Because it is the action that it is rude to wake up a thing, an uproar to speak to eating and drinking in a train, listening to music at full blast, talking with a cell-phone, the next person aloud, I do not do it
 ・When I wait for a train at a home, the Japanese forms a line calmly and waits. I get on in turn without disturbing the row if a train comes



[5] litter bug (person throwing away garbage anywhere) does not have it

 The liter bug is a person throwing away garbage anywhere. When Japan hardly loses downtown one garbage with cleanliness, the foreigner admires, but Phoebe is it when this is because it keeps this in mind so that the local government keeps beauty with inhabitants.
 
 The foreigner coming to Japan keeps this like thing "keeping a town at neatly together" in mind, and let's advise it not to throw away garbage on the roadside.
 
[6] The tip is unnecessary

 

 

 It is the maximum reward to the person whom the smile of the visitor acts on in Japan. It is not necessary to hand a tip like ですので, Europe and America. If 渡 goes for a tip, it is had a look at a loss and may let you feel indignant adversely. Is about to pursue your back on the run; and "is a this thing left behind"! と tip may have possibilities to be paid.

[1] I speak Japanese as much as possible
 Even if this travels to the country of wherever, it is so, but after all few should be able to talk about a language of field not depending on only English. I checked the Japanese phrase which oneself, "I was a vegetarian" seemed to use before Phoebe came to Japan beforehand and seemed to bring the thing which I made a collection of one's own phrases and printed. Furthermore, I print out a katakana & hiragana letter list and a Romaji, and it is said that it allowed you to talk by pointing at (by a Romaji reading) after supporting Japan.
 

This is very convenient and leads to the pleasant interchange with the local Japanese and talks in blog when it was a chance to be able to taste deeper Japanese culture.
 
[2] I wear a mask if I catch cold
The Japanese who wore a mask who is about to consider that it is winter. It was not a rare scene in the downtown area of Japan, but Australian she seemed to be surprised very much. First "why will it be necessary to wear a mask?" I tell と question to have thought.
 
However, I knew that the Japanese wore a mask for the prevention of the cold virus, that it prevented wearing a mask when oneself caught cold again and from moving a cold to the person of the circumference and seemed to admire very much. When consideration wearing a mask in the same way wants there to be it, I talk about even a train and a job of Brisbane in blog.
 


I advise it in deference to Japanese culture to consider the person of the circumference if I catch cold in Japan when you should wear a mask even if it is a foreign tourist.
 
[3] I check subway, way of buying, how to get on tickets beforehand
It is very complicated in comparison with world other cities, and a train, the subway map of Tokyo is illegible. It is the purchase of the ticket to be particularly difficult. That the European and American subways are rates regardless of distance uniformly everywhere and are simple because a rate is divided in a zone, are incomprehensible because it is the system which a rate is fixed at by distance in the case of Japan. The foreigner who comes to Tokyo for sightseeing should check how to get on trains in a net beforehand.

 

 

 

A foreign tourist is what "I wanted to know before coming to Japan" II

A foreign tourist is what "I wanted to know before coming to Japan" II

 

 

 

. I have effect of the weak yen, and the number of visit to Japan foreigners increases rapidly, and, for the Tokyo Olympic Games held in 2020, it is anticipated that more tourists visit Japan. You should obey a custom and the culture of the country "When in Rome do as the Romans do" if you go to according to proverb, the foreign country. And some want to decide to introduce because the plural overseas media gives what "they wanted to know before a foreign tourist comes to Japan". After all it seems to be strange for a foreigner that we think commonly.





4． Prices are not so high If an urban legend, "Japan has high prices" seems to colonize in the foreign country, and really come to Japan for some reason; "a thing is unexpectedly cheap"! と seems with many foreigners feeling nice surprise. I think that it is entirely cheap whether the prices of Tokyo are slightly expensive if I surely compare it with American urban area and Australia, the U.K.



5． You should prepare cash a little too much! Of the second "cannot draw cash by a credit card"! It has a series of に, and there are many places where a credit card cannot use that a foreign tourist is troubled for. I may pay by a card to buy a thing of 1 dollar in the American and European countries, and there are many people who do not carry cash. Because I cannot fully enjoy a stay when I cannot spend money in a destination as expected, the foreign countries media recommends cash to prepare a little too much.


6． A tattoo is hated As old days, the person with the tattoo often does not yet put it in the hot springs because the image of "the tattoo = yakuza" is strong in Japan. Indeed, as for the tattoo, there seem to be many people who do not think, "it is in a problem because I put a tattoo" abroad because it is thought as some fashions.

.

I have effect of the weak yen, and the number of visit to Japan foreigners increases rapidly, and, for the Tokyo Olympic Games held in 2020, it is anticipated that more tourists visit Japan.
You should obey a custom and the culture of the country "When in Rome do as the Romans do" if you go to according to proverb, the foreign country. And some want to decide to introduce because the plural overseas media gives what "they wanted to know before a foreign tourist comes to Japan". After all it seems to be strange for a foreigner that we think commonly.



1． You do not need to raise a tip
For service given depending on a country, there is a custom to put 10-15% of tips as a tip. There is not the custom of the tip in Japan, but the foreign tourist who experienced high service of the quality that is not exaggeration even if I say the world's highest mountain seems to want to leave a tip.
The writer who had a long life in America can reach the itchy place of Japan; decide it, and yet deeply appreciate warm service.




2． I cannot draw cash by a credit card!
By the credit card published in a foreign country, I do not seem to be able to often draw cash with a Japanese ATM machine.
That reminds me even a debit card was a credit card, but has had the writer paid it and return it in U.S. dollars when the American friend of the writer came to Japan without being able to take down cash in ATM. However, the British friend may be to depend on the kind of a country and the card because I was able to draw cash in the ATM of the convenience store with a debit card of the publication in the U.K.

 

 

3． There are few places of the English notation
The stations are transcribed in English, but the name of a building and the street is often transcribed in only Japanese and seems to be often lost when I am looking for a place. Thus, I can employ the navigator of the smartphone and am advised to prepare for the map which the small address and place name get on.

A summer feature of Kyoto where the stream bed (a river gets out) of your ship was well known with an enjoying the cool breeze floor (のうりょうゆか) of Kamogawa.
