We continue our amazing journey through Japan, in this article we will share about the amazing Japanese people, their culture, traditions and customs of the Japanese that have developed over the centuries. So if you have not read the previous article about Japan, about how sakura blooms and what Japan is during the cherry blossom period, we advise you not to miss this chance, the article turned out to be very interesting, this article will be the same.
It is very interesting to observe the traditions, customs, behavior of the peoples of the world in this or that country, in this case, Japan turned out to be such a country for us. The Japanese are inherently very different people, they work a lot, unlike the Russians, the Japanese are every morning a faceless monotonous mass of people going to the subway, and in the evening after work back from the subway.
In the Japanese, every working day, as a rule, the same suits in blue or dark blue, shirt, tie, badges on the chest. They don’t think about shoes at all, because in many establishments in Japan, all Japanese take off their shoes, as it is customary here to take off their shoes and go barefoot.
When the long-awaited weekend comes, all the Japanese seem to reincarnate in a free style, put on colored shirts, ripped jeans.
The Japanese are like a coin with two sides. At work they can tolerate everything and work through “I don’t want”, but at home they can be tyrants. They are always very respectful, bowing and smiling, and smiling is the answer to half the questions. But behind the mask of benevolence, absolutely opposite thoughts and Japanese feelings can be hidden.
The Japanese wear this mask everywhere: at work, on the street, on the subway. Only at home the Japanese can show themselves as they really are.
Traveling through the mysterious country - Japan, we were pleasantly surprised by the respectful attitude of public utilities towards the Japanese population. During the day, the streets are never renovated. When night falls, huge Japanese trucks arrive and the full-size work begins.
When you get up early in the morning, no, not only construction equipment, but also dirt and debris from construction work, we were just shocked!
If a car with policemen rides in the general traffic, the Japanese always apologize to road users for the inconvenience caused by their work. We were shocked when we remembered the situation on Russian roads.
It is necessary to note, perhaps, the most important property of the Japanese in our opinion, almost all Japanese have cars, but in the city center it does not matter what business they are doing, the Japanese prefer to travel by subway. And for cars, you've probably already seen in the movies or the news, in Japan there are multi-level automatic parking everywhere.
We were also just delighted with the attitude of the Japanese in wheelchairs. For example, a person in a wheelchair drives up to a certain place at a bus stop. The bus, stopping, falls a little to the place of the stop itself so that it is convenient to get on it. Now attention, the driver gets out of the bus, brings the disabled person in a wheelchair, apologizes, recognizes the place to which the disabled person needs to be brought, gets behind the wheel and goes further along the route.
At the desired stop, he also helps to get off; it should be noted that all drivers in Japan are wearing white gloves. And even if the bus is filled to capacity with people, if there is a special place for a wheelchair, then all the Japanese move aside and give a place to a disabled person.
Japan in this sense simply amazed us, such customs, traditions, and culture of the Japanese are deeply rooted in the depths of life, you cannot become such a right person in one day. Well, we are moving further through Japan and tell about all the amazing things in the world of traveling in Japan on our website.
All the same, summing up this small article about the Japanese, this people is honored with respect for their traditions, customs, culture and other way of life. The Japanese really love and respect their country, it can be seen not with an armed eye, it is enough to spend one day on the streets of Japan and you will see for yourself.
