One of the most noticeable differences when visiting Japan is the importance of public manners, especially in crowded places like trains and buses. Unlike in some Western countries, it is considered rude to speak loudly or make phone calls in public transport. Travelers should also be aware that eating or drinking on the go, while common in many places, is generally frowned upon in Japan. The Japanese place a high value on keeping public spaces clean and quiet.<\/p>\n
