Apologies for being MIA - I’ve been traveling Japan! 🇯🇵
I cannot wait to share everything I experienced over there (including Disneyland and DisneySea! 🤭) but first i’m going to share a few etiquette tips!
If you’ve ever considered traveling to Japan, here are some things to note!
🤫 It’s very quiet! The subway could be PACKED with people, but it’s still very quiet. So be considerate!
🗑️ Hold onto your trash! You won’t find trash cans most anywhere, so I packed doggie waste bags to keep our trash in until we could find one (sometimes not until we got back to the hotel!)
💴 Carry cash! A lot of street vendors only accept cash and if you have a ‘Welcome Suica’ transit card, the only way to refill it is by cash at a kiosk
🧍🏽♀️ Keep left on escalators! When on escalators, keep left if you’re going to stand or on the right if you’re going to walk, it keeps it efficient! (Although we noticed in Kyoto and Osaka, it’s the opposite!)
🍡 Don’t eat and walk! It is considered rude to be eating and walking down the street, so find a place to stop and enjoy your food before continuing on
We also took note of things around us to be respectful! It’s a beautiful country and beautiful culture, I can’t wait to share more! 😁
