One of the places that I have always promised to visit is Japan. Touring sites about this country that attracts me so much, I found a list of things Marc Japan you should not do in Japan, and surely I’ll forget. I invite you to visit it and if you remember.

When you’re on the street
- Smoking is prohibited in the street, except in certain areas. If not, you can be fined.
- Throwing things on the ground also gives you a pretty fine.
- No crying in the street, if you’re in a group and shout to be heard, will attract much attention.

When traveling by train
- Talking on the phone or make rude noise. We travel in silence

When you go to eat
- Do not leave a tip, because it will be like an insult, like you want to pretend superiority.
- If you go for a coffee you must separate the waste, plastics, food, glass, etc. In Japan, separating the waste as civic duty.
- If you offer not even think about saying the famous “chin chin” because in Japanese the word used to name the male genitals. Say, “Kampai” is right.

If you deal with someone
- Do not try to hug or kiss Japanese, because they will not know what to do. Just shake hands, which is international custom.
- The Japanese are friendly, and that makes them look shy or cold. Never admit it out loud, so avoid comment openly.

If you have a tattoo
- You will not be able to visit or the pools or baths. Do not let in because tattoos in Japan are associated with the Yakuza and children may be afraid if you see them. Also if you can not be put in general, much better
