Culture Notes

Japan runs on quiet respect, precision, and small rituals that make everyday life feel intentional.

  • Take your shoes off before entering homes, temples, and some restaurants.
  • Tipping isn't expected anywhere — great service is simply the standard.
  • Stand on the left on Tokyo escalators, right in Osaka — locals notice.
