11 Japanese Public Manners Americans Break on Phones, Trains and in Line 🔔 If you found this useful, you could subscribe. I will be here next week.    / @misterkazuo   Japanese train etiquette is mostly about people you never see. If you are visiting Tokyo, the call you answer on the Yamanote Line, the backpack on your shoulders and the friend you wave into a line each cost a stranger something small. In this video I count down eleven Japanese public manners that American visitors break on phones, trains and in line, usually while being perfectly polite by their own standards. You will hear what manner mode is for, why a painted line on the platform matters, and which of these rules your guidebook may still have wrong, from escalators and priority seats to eating on the shinkansen. There is a cake box at Tokyo Station, a nurse on the last train home, and a rule I kept for years after the railway dropped it, until it cost my family an hour we did not have. At the end, I tell you what a station attendant at Shinjuku said to me in 1983. I have heard that sentence on nearly every platform since.
