Japanese Life Rules That Might Seem Foreign To Visitors

Blowing Your Nose In Public Is Frowned Upon

In Japan, it's vitally important to follow the rules of public behavior. In the West, there are a lot of things that are okay to do in public but are not okay in Japan. In most Western countries, it's fine to blow your nose in public, but in Japan, it's not. People think it's a little gross and should be done in private.

Because of this, you might see a lot of individuals sniffling when you go to Japan. And it might not be because they're sick.
