NEED HELP WITH JAPAN STUFF?

Question:


i plan on going to japan with my boyfriend. i was just wondering a couple of things. i know in some places they dont allow public desplays of affection. is holding hands, hugging(not like how you hug your friend but like embracing), and kissing not aloud in public? and i know that in asia its all about politeness (thats why they have informal and formal language right?) so if it is aloud, would it be very rude and impolite to other people around us? what if we are at a restaurant with a romantic mood (if they have restaurants like that), would kissing and holding hands be okay there? if you have any extra information about japanese culture please let me know :)

Answer:


>what if we are at a restaurant with a romantic mood (if they have restaurants like that), would kissing and holding hands be okay there?

If you want "Do as Romans do", you should not hug or kiss even if it's a romantic restaurant. Because Japanese people do not do it.

But it's OK to hold hands even if it's where there are many people.

In fact, hugging is in "gray zone" because more and more young couples do it now. But some people still do not like it.
