Why Japanese Don't Like Foreigners

Japan sounds like an introvert's paradise.

So basically, Japan expects courtesy and common sense. Sounds fair to me.

I’am an American and I always clean up after myself but I do have to say most Americans don’t and it always drives me absolutely crazy.

日本人です。 とても素晴らしい動画でした。 いくつか補足したいと思います。 確かに日本人の嫌いな行動ですが、 『外国人』だからではありません。 日本人がこの行動をしても嫌いです。 もう一つ、現金の話ですが、 日本は災害の多い国です。 災害=停電と考えています。 電気がなければクレジットカードも 電子マネーも使えません。 だから日本人は現金を持ち歩くのです。

My Japanese wife, 10 years ago when we dated in college, was surprised when I had a random conversation with a stranger. She asked me who it was and I told her I didn’t know. The look on her face was priceless.

I'm Japanese. In fact, many Japanese are introverted, so foreigners may feel like "I'm hated?" But I wanna say most of us don't hate you.

as someone thats been in food service for years, i can honestly say the cleaning up after yourself when your done eating thing is something that is appreciated anywhere. It makes the waiter/waitress' job easier and is just a simple way of being kind

For a person who talks softly and doesn't like to get interrupted in everyday activities, Japan seems like a good place 😍

Japan is going to regret hosting the Olympics.

Foreigner: talks to random person Japanese: hmm.. tastes like disrespect

So, my husband is Japanese and we used to live there, in a city called Nagoya. I'm surprised by the squatting thing. My husband and I would squat directly outside 7-eleven to eat (only feet touching the floor). We've also seen lots of other Japanese people doing the same while they eat what they've just bought. He often says it's what you have to do when you buy convenience store food like onigiri because there are no bins in public, so you have to eat just outside the store and dispose of the rubbish immediately. It's also impolite to eat while walking, so eating while standing or squatting outside Lawson or 7-eleven or Family Mart is the best option on-the-go.

すごい！この動画は日本に来た際の見本として、とても良いです✨ Paoloさんの日本愛を感じました！素敵な動画を作ってくださりありがとうございます✨ Thank you!☺️

Japanese: *are punctual* Latinos: *Arrive 3 hours late to a birthday party*

I'm not japanese, but people blocking the streets or hallways in narrow places like supermarkets do piss me off.

My daughter is an autistic person and hates breaking rules. She loves regimented life, so Japan always seemed like a dream for her and for us to provide to her. Turns out her college studies will lead her there next year in the form of a foreign studies program. I am so excited for her to realize this dream. Please remember to keep positive vibes, because the universe will return that same energy to you.

I'm very introverted and generally don't talk to strangers whether it is waiting in line or just going about my business so the Japanese not being particularly fond of having conversations with random strangers and having their boundaries invaded is not exactly something that would bother me. In fact, I would feel very much at home with that. I don't really like loud people either. I think I would do just fine in Japan.

Japan : hate loud noise and foreigners Also Japan : let’s host the Olympics

Been living in Japan for 15 years. I think you nailed most of it. I feel the same as you when I see foreigners misbehave (loud, late or dirty). One more thing I found amusing is that common sense courtesy that creates an interaction with me the foreigner (holding doors, thanking the cashier, asking which floor in the elevator...) is often unrewarded and can be felt as cumbersome.

It's blowing my mind, that SO many things said in this video are relatable as in Germany. I as a german hate when people randomly talk to me etc. I mean, yes- you can ask for directions or if you are lost in wich street you are, but overall we germans also like our own space. Even in the train when there are not many people inside the train, people do sit on the seats but always one seat apart.
