Question:
I'm moving to Tokyo very soon for a job, and it was mentioned in the company's welcome pack that it is a good idea to get little gifts for new neighbours, since this is a Japanese custom.
Has anyone done this themselves? Any idea what constitutes an appropriate gift? How many nieghbours - just for next door? The whole floor? The whole block (I hope not)?
Thanks!
Answer:
How about indoor slippers? You can just give the nearest apartments to you (3-4). Or food.. People love food. Because you might give something they already have that they won't be able to use.
Anyway, I think that's a new custom made usually by foreigners (?) not really sure. Because we had a new neighbor, who moved from the Kansai, years years ago (2003, I think) and they never gave us gifts lol. Their house is nearly in front of ours.
