General advice when traveling to Japan?

Question:


Tips?
Do's and Don'ts?
What laws to look out for?
How to dress??

Answer:


Do pay attention and take your shoes off when expected. Watch for others' shoes in a shoe case as a sign that you should take off yours.

Do wait for others to get off a train before you try to get on.

Don't mess with the door of a taxi. The driver will open and shut it for you.

Don't talk loudly in public places, most especially on trains.

Laws? Don't have any drugs. Big problem with that. Other than that, common sense. Pretty much anything that is illegal in your own country will be illegal here.

Dress how you want. You could dress up as Mr. Spock and not look out of place in some areas of Japan.

EDIT: Just noticed where you posted this same question just a bit earlier. Always thought that was a silly thing to do. Use the YA database and see what others said. Got me once. I'll try to avoid you next time.
