Etiquette in Japan

Etiquette in Japan is how people show respect and politeness to each other. This includes things like bowing, saying thank you, and being polite when speaking to someone. Good etiquette also includes not being too loud in public places, eating quietly, and taking your shoes off when entering someone’s home. When greeting someone, it’s important to bow and say their name or “Nice to meet you”. It’s also important to use polite language, such as “please”. Lastly, it’s important to avoid making someone feel embarrassed, especially in public.
