在日本發現九種獨特的經歷

我堅信，世界上每個國家都提供獨特的“東西”，使其在世界上所有其他國家中脫穎而出。好吧，在最近一次穿越亞洲的冒險中，我發現了日本獨有的九件事，這將使這個國家永遠銘記在心，並成為我旅行生活中的最高點之一。

這是我在日本發現的九種獨特經歷

從自動售貨機訂購

在自動售貨機上點菜在北美並非唯一。您很可能在醫院或汽車站等機構中無所適從。我在溜冰場上的自動販賣機上品嚐過粉狀的熱巧克力，有很多回憶！

In Japan, vending machine ordering is a way to bypass the need for a cashier. It’s efficient and easy to do – just match the photo of the dish you wish to order with the corresponding number on the machine.

• 在機器上選擇您的選擇
• 支付訂單並拿票
• 坐在櫃檯，將您的票交給服務器，他們將在您準備好飯菜後將您的飯菜送到
• 吃，走

Some restaurants don’t even have serving staff; they just have a pass-through directly to the kitchen!

TIP: Don’t switch seats after you’ve presented your ticket or the server won’t be able to find you! Also, gratuities aren’t customary in Japan, so no extra yen is required.

 

您酒店客房內的免費設施

In North America, hotels provide the usual tiny bar of soap, shampoo/conditioner, and lotion. In higher-end hotels, you’ll get complimentary shower caps, shoe shine cloths and in some, you’ll even receive linen sprays or aromatherapy relaxation kits. In Japan, you get the works — loaner pyjamas, slippers, hair brush/comb, toothbrush/toothpaste, razor, bath salts, body washes, bath sponge, hair bands, makeup remover, fancy face creams, the list of complimentary items goes on and on. It doesn’t matter what level of hotel you are staying at either; budget hotels provide the same amenities.

我住過的其中一家酒店還提供了額外的“菜單”，其中包括面部蒸籠等免費設施。

花式廁所

Be it in your hotel room or the public restroom on the subway you’ll find varying levels of the “fancy toilet”. With heated seats (to take the chill off your bottom during your nightly trip) to bidets, to warm water jets that gently spray your bottom, some even have water sounds to get you in the mood or to disguise what you are doing. Once you’ve tried a Japanese toilet seat, your bottom will never be the same again.

禮貌

Never have I experienced so many polite people before in my life and I’m born and raised in Toronto Canada where we have a worldwide reputation of being polite. In Japan everyone lines up in an orderly manner, no one is loud or noisy, it’s all very civilised.

守時

If the schedule says 2:08, believe me when I tell you that the train will leave promptly at 2:08. So, if you arrive on the platform for the train in Japan be it a Shinkansen Bullet Train, local train, or a bus and it doesn’t arrive, you best check your watch because it isn’t working properly and you’ve already missed your train.

If you are tourists take advantage of the JR Rail JR Pass! Here’s a great 文章 關於它的一切。

食物光榮的食物

Sushi, sashimi, Izakaya, teppanyaki, udon, ramen, tempura, okonomiyaki — try it all! Don’t worry if you don’t read or speak the language, just point at the photos or the plastic food in the window. If you want a real treat, splurge on a Kaiseki traditional multi-course Chef’s Tasting dinner!

走路時禁止吸煙或進食

Buy a canned drink from a vending machine, and be expected to drink it all at once at that moment and then discard the can in the receptacle. The same rule applies to buying street food – you have to eat it right next to the food stand directly after purchase. I was offered a ramen noodle sample in a fancy department store, and I had to slurp my noodles right then and there in the aisle!

When it comes to smoking, look out for designated smoking areas on the street and inside buildings but you aren’t permitted to walk and smoke.

 

垃圾

In North America, garbage cans are readily available on street corners and outside of buildings but spend one single day in Japan, and you’ll quickly notice that you can’t find any garbage cans on the street. You’ll also notice, littering is non-existent! So, where does all that trash go? Everyone takes it home with them for disposal. The only “public” garbage cans I found was where the tourists were.

無塗鴉

我在日本的各個城市度過了兩個星期，而且從未見過塗鴉！我確實看到的任何街頭藝術品，例如東京牆上的這張照片，都得到了政府的批准。

這些是我在為期兩週的訪問中發現的關於日本的獨特之處。還有更多的發現，值得回訪。
