Life in Japanese culture is very different from the lives of other people across the world. However, when you visit Japan, you are not expected to behave in the way the locals do. You can be yourself and still enjoy their culture and country. Also, several tourists go through this phase of culture shock when they first visit Japan. So, be prepared.
One of the most visited cities of Japan is Tokyo. Here it is common to find people having a bath in a sento, for example. A sento is a public bathhouse. There is severe shortage of land in Japan and as a result people use common facilities for their everyday life. Japanese apartments are very tiny and are just about enough to accommodate a family. One can forget bathing areas except for a smallish toilet in their homes. Also, it is an ancient ritual in Japan to use public bathhouses, and it is seen as a form of socializing.
Japanese people do not show emotions as their culture prohibits it. A Japanese person might come across as an extremely reserved individual. So you will never find them hugging, kissing, waving or just being madly happy if they are in public places. Controlling their emotions and putting them out in a modest way is their culture. So do not be surprised if you do not get the desired reaction from a Japanese person. Japanese people are extremely sensitive about their public image and being disliked by someone is almost suicidal for them. So, be very particular how you talk to a Japanese. Do not be insulting or rude even in a jocular manner.
