Tell me your embarrassing story in Japan in the comments🤣

Let's make funny videos together XD

[sailormellzz]

Lol, I'm the girl!
It was even more embarassing, let me explain: We had been going out for a few weeks at that point. He asked me if I wanted to hang out at his place as a friend from the US was in town. So she came over and we had a great conversation. He excused himself to the bathroom and we started chatting. Turns out that they met on Tinder back in the US - we met on Tinder in Japan :D Luckily both of us were pretty open and cool with it, so we just continued talking. After a few drinks we realized that AN HOUR had gone by. In the end I had to bang against the door cause it was impossible to wake him up from just calling his name...

I was talking with a japanese friend back when I started learning Japanese, and he asked me what I wanted to do during summer vacation. Confidently I told him: "I want to go to the bitch" (ビッチに行きたい) instead of "I want to go to the beach" (ビーチに行きたい). He was so confused for a second, "You want to go WHERE?!" Me, again: "bitch!" *Mometary thinking pause, followed by geniune relief* "Ah, to the BEACH!"

I was in Hokkaido. It was in a small town. Many of the stores were about to open. I thought one store was already open so I tried to walk into the store but ended up smacking super hard into the door which was clear glass. It made a really big sound and rattled the whole door. Two old ladies popped their head out and they were super sweet and opened their shop a few minutes early because it seemed like I was really eager to get in. The worst part is that I hit the glass so hard that I made a smear mark on it. One of the old ladies had to go and clean it. We definitely bought something by from them that day. I felt so bad.😂🤧

In Japan I took a wrong bus in the middle of the night across the city. It was the last bus, and my phone died, so I went to a koban and started to cry because I was lost and didn’t know how to get back to my host family. The policemen gave me a ride in a police car home and my host mom saw me get out 😂 it was so embarrassing. She thought I committed a crime.

[amnriamhec]

Everyone did their best....SORRY I LAUGHED SO HARD 🤣🤣🤣. I will probably have my own embarrassing episodes when I visit Japan myself waaa 😂😭

[raydi]

I took a priority (red) seat in the bus wearing my yukata. I can imagine what local people would’ve thought about me like “Look at that guy, he wants to look like Japanese, but he has no idea how to behave in Japan”. Kinda embarrassing 😂

[Medijoker]

I was in Ueno market and it was raining alot so I was looking for an umbrella. And at a shop i saw a rack of a few umbrellas in the middle of the shop. So I took it to the counter and ask in japanese how much is was. There were 2 young people in the counter and looked at eachother and laughed. And then said, thats mine! To be fair. Who has their employees umbrellas in the middle of the store in a rack?! 😆😆

The emergency alarm used to happen constantly at work, because our only customer bathroom was also an accessible bathroom requiring an alarm. There was no button, but a string hanging from the ceiling near the toilet and tourists would constantly pull it. I'm not sure if it's normal in other countries to make toilet flushing mechanisms with a hanging red nylon string, but ours flush with a press button on top of the toilet tank. I spent a lot of time standing in front of the door asking if everything was alright. Only once it was an "emergency". They'd ran out of toilet paper.

[shishudesu]

I'm wheezing right now 😂😂This was really good hope you make more like these xDD

[animangagirl]

This whole video had me dying but Hitoki sorta falling out of character takes the cake. It's really the やばい's for me 🤣🤣

[agfhdl]

Oh god I also pressed the emergency button in a restroom. I was visiting my friend’s university in the far suburbs of Tokyo and it rang throughout the whole lobby. This was 10 years ago and I’m still embarrassed!

[geekexmachina]

On my first trip to Japan i had looked up buying a day ticket for tokyo on the JR system, given how basic my Japanese was I asked at the desk for this ticket, the vendor looked at me with puzzlement but couldnt quite understand me and sold me this ticket which was it turned out very expensive (but cheap in the UK) he wrote something on the back and told me to show it at my hotel. hen i arrived at my hotel (all the staff spoke good english as i may have posted before) they said the vendor didnt know why i would want a ticket that covered all the lines for most of the tokyo system. So my ticket was not what i thought i was getting though did do the job as i had over spent. the next day i found the correct ticket was a small fraction of the cost.
I also learned about SUICA cards, and that Tokyo station is not the best stop to find places to sight see. After my first week I had found easier and cheaper ways to do things, there are just things that nobody things to tell you like road rules for pedestrians.

The first time I was at an Izakaya in Japan was also my first time using a toilet with so many buttons. I was drunk and couldn't figure out how to flush. The bidet went off then suddenly air came out. I tried at least 10 minutes..I heard a lot of people waiting in line outside since it was the only toilet and unisex. Finally I gave up to ask a friend how it works and opened the door to see at least 5 salary men waiting outside. 😭 i later found out the flush was just a lever behind the toilet...

[yesmaam]

I came here from a very sad video where I was shedding tears but I swear your descriptions here cheered me up!!

[peacefulcat]

just to respond to Hitoki's Taiwan hot spring experience lol. there are mostly 2 kinds of hot spring hotels in Taiwan, (1) for couples, (2) for all genders but you have to wear swimsuit, which I think is not common for Japanese and I don't like it either.
There are some hot spring that are similar in Japan, but not many, you really need to search online first.

One day I took a shortcut through a building in Shinjuku with my luggage and I fell down the up escalator, and got caught in a loop of tumbling for a solid thirty seconds. No one was around but I'm positive someone must have seen me on the cameras.
Second place goes to the time I was in Kyoto and had very bad food poisoning but had to board our overnight bus home. My gas was so bad. I felt like the enemy of everyone on that bus ride lol

[memyi]

Somewhere in Tokyo, I accidentally pressed the traffic light button/signal button designed for people who are visually impaired when I was waiting to cross the road with my friend. I live in Australia, so I’m used to pressing buttons as a pedestrian 😅

When I visited Japan a few years ago, I did some research before going, but none of my research told me that I have to have my passport on me at all times. I went to a hotel with my Aunt and Uncle and when the clerk at the front asked for identification I thought they meant my driver's license. It was then I learned that I needed to bring my passport with me, or I could get arrested! Thankfully no police were around at the time, but I was super embarrassed for not knowing something that important.

[logan]

for the first 3 weeks of living in Japan I kept asking for おしりぼり instead of おしぼり...
