I'm from TOKYO JAPAN, I've been living here for a long time. I'll be your Tokyo Travel Guide, taking you to the spots I love as well as showing you what to do all around Japan and maybe sometimes overseas. I'm also into Tech so you'll see a few videos about my drone and other cool toys I discover. In short, the channel is all about what I Love, Japan, Food, Travel, Tech and most likely coming FROM-TOKYO, my home.

Very basic manners that everyone needs to follow.

[Naomi]

it's not just in Tokyo, everywhere it needs to be done.

[vinyalonde]

The thing that surprised me as a visitor from Canada was no one offering older people seats on crowded trains. I routinely offered up my seat to elders and they were very grateful.

[ianleevlog]

Those “not to do things” are ALL being done in the Philippines train. 😁

[Xingmey]

damn, you really stalked that sararyman!
no wonder he is so pissed off :P

[notafanboy]

One of my first memories in Japan was when I had just arrived and rode the train out of Narita. My phone had a recurring daily wakeup alarm I forgot to turn off. My phone alarm went off during a busy time of the day and it was super loud inside the train. I had no idea where it was since I had placed in one of the few bags I was carrying so it took me a while to get to it. I'll never forget the many many stares I got from all the people while I looked for my phone to turn it off. I was impressed that everyone was so coordinated in shaming me in unison for my impoliteness. It was well deserved, of course. I really liked seeing that people in Japan are always keeping others in mind and being considerate.

Great content Paolo! Most of the "Don'ts" I used to see happen daily in clean and friendly NYC Don't forget that on Shinkansen trips (for example Tokyo to Kyoto) food is acceptable - get a bento (ekiben) if you never have. You could always stop at Lawson's for your meal to save a few Yen. I'm so glad Japan is "open" again. This time I will head to Kyushu Island and check out all the Onsen in the area. And the food - home to tonkotsu ramen!

My dream is to have a salaryman sleep on my shoulder.

[YokoshimaSTAR]

That salary man will reach his meeting and complain about his bad day with that one A$$hole who's been joining him the whole journey.

[DanYellowZena]

This should be a universal rule. It's crazy to me how many other cities in the world don't follow these rules. Yeah, I've seen people talk on the train in Tokyo and some rather loudly but for the most part people in Tokyo have much better manners and consideration than say, NYC transit system. In NYC you deal with all these really things that you have mentioned. People talk LOUDLY and obnoxiously on phones, eat and drink on the train, piss, fight, shit etc. Terrible. Transit in Japan is the best that I've been on by far. Toronto and Montreal possibly share 2nd place (for me).

[carimegc]

"Look at that happy salary man" Made laugh so much hahahaha

[anhmuanguyen]

Nice...10 “ Not Do” is applied to every where in this world..Respect..then bouncing back to you. Thank you.

[lightphasermusic]

AFAIK in Japan it is also considered to be rude if you offer and try to give your seat to someone else... Wonderful video, I am looking forward to more!

[TokiYuYu]

Honestly, most of these I've seen Japanese people do lol some out of necessity like talking on the phone (but quietly or at least trying to be) or walking on before people get off during rush hours, but I've seen people drink alcohol on the metro, people carrying big backpacks that get in the way or cut you off while you are walking/getting on the train.. so try not to do these since it's good manners, but I don't think many Japanese people would really be bothered that much if you can't avoid it. I somehow feel like being on metro/train is the only place where it's acceptable for Japanese people to be "rude" in Japan just cuz it's so chaotic most of the time lol

[throttle]

Basic manners that you actually need to follow in WHATEVER country you are.

[jeetparte]

Hahaa...the salaryman was really funny!

[laurenceornido]

1:12 also a filipino technique in commuting in train, bus, jeepney etc. to prevent thieves

[stacyjones]

The salary man is at peace. I love it lol

[khatdubell]

"What's the rudest thing you've seen someone do on a train"?
Taking a shit.
Please, someone try to top me.
