Japan, a East Asian country, is known for its unique culture and customs, including a strong emphasis on beauty and fashion standards. Women are often not required to wear bras in public due to the popularity of traditional Japanese clothing, such as Kimonos, which initially did not require a bra. Japanese women prioritize comfort and not sacrifice this for bustier appearance. Unlike Western countries, Japanese women have different beauty standards, particularly in the media.

They are revered for their small and pert breasts, unlike American culture which features lingerie that obfuscates their breast size. As a result, Japanese women do not feel the pressure to wear bras to enhance their size or appearance.

  • As someone who lives in South Korea, I am always astounded by the difference in the cherry blossoms. From color to the size of the flower, there are many differences between the two. However, I still believe the blossoms in Japan are way prettier. Thank you for the article! I’m looking forward to the next one. 🙂

  • Japan is on my bucket list. It’s such a beautiful, unique, and peaceful country. Have you been to Hiroshima and/or Nagasaki, those cities were it got bombed by an atomic bomb in each of these cities during WW2. I recommend going there next time when travelling to Japan. Love you from New Zealand 🇳🇿🇳🇿😊😊

  • I’m glad you got to visit the Nara Deer Park! Everything I’ve heard about including from friends whom have gone there have stated that it was one of their best experiences in all of Japan. I would love to get over to Japan one of these days even if it is not during cherry blossom season. It would be such a cool place to travel to! Thank you for the tips!

  • Travel tip from someone with food allergies. There are Japanese allergy cards you can find online and print out. At the restaurants, go to a worker or get the attention of a worker and ask “yonde kudasai” (please read), and hand your allergy card over. Point to the menu item u want and ask “ok?.” This worked really well for me. They would tell u which items contain things ur allergic to, or let u know its ok (either in japanese woth gestures, rough english, or using google translate).

  • Loved how you are so culturally sensitive and not acting like you can’t be bothered with the local customs and norms. You didn’t just learn some local important phrases in a curt fashion but also the most respectful way to use them. It’s those little things that create the most intimate connection with the locals…anywhere we travle in the world. Love your article and will follow you more! Excited for our first trip to Japan in July. Arigatou Gozaimas!

  • Konichiwa (こんにちは) = Good Day! Good Afternoon! Greetings during afternoon Ohaiyo-gozaimasu (おはようございます)= Good Morning! Ogenkidesuka (お元気ですか?)= How are you? Onegaishimasu (お願いします) = xx please Arigatou gozaimashita (ありがとうございました) = Thank you. Gomenkudasai (ごめんください!)= Sorry! / Please forgive me for bothering you… Sumimasen (すみません)= excuse me. Hope this helps 😊✌

  • Wow! Thank you!! Just thank you so much for giving first timers to Japan so much very practical information!!! This is by far one of the most detailed and again practical travel information articles on Japan that I have seen. Not surprising as you and Tim always have extremely helpful articles. So glad I found this article and have already shared it with another friend who is going to Japan before I am. Thank you!!!

  • Japan is about the culture and everything unfolds from there. Harmony and not bothering others in the public space (trains for example) is a prominent cultural value. Don’t stand two abreast on escalators, don’t stop in the middle of a flow of people to look for something, tune into to the locals around you as an indicator. Carry a small plastic bag for your trash and dispose of it at your hotel as there are almost no public trash cans, yet the country is very clean. Don’t litter. Respect in Kyoto the closure of some private streets to tourists and don’t stalk the geishas for pictures. There may be a public performance you can see them in, check at your hotel. Remember shrines and temples are still active religious sites. Your trip will be smoother and feel more rewarding.

  • I love your packing method, and I’m happy to say that I am very close to your method. I used to travel for corporate America years ago so I had made mistakes in those many years. But now we travel for fun to see the country so it’s a different style of packing. I feel good that I’m on the right track. I recently purchased a set of your packing cubes, and they totally surprised me! Now, tips on packing for Pepper, we don’t travel abroad right now but for me packing for toy Poodle, Jolie Fleur, has been a challenge, I don’t know how you do it for international travel for Pepper. article, please!❤❤

  • Hi! Totally hear you about travelling just with hand baggage rather than a checked in bag. Usually I only travel with handluggage even for trips that are a few weeks. However, I am hoping to stop at Japan on my way home from a 6 month secondment abroad and will thus have both a checked case and a cabin one (so 2 suitcases). Do you think this would make thngs very difficult re travelling around? In your experience do hostels/hotels have luggage storage e.g. if i was to leave the big case there for a few days whilst visiting another place? Many thanks in advance!
