What holds true across the country

Queueing is the manners

The footprint marks on a platform and standing to one side on an escalator are followed like rules.

Quiet is the default

Nobody takes calls on a train. Even in a group, voices stay low.

There is no tipping

Offering one causes awkwardness. Pay at the till and take all your change.

Getting between cities

The shinkansen is expensive and exact

Tokyo to Osaka in two and a half hours. Tourist passes exist but often lose money depending on your route, so do the sum first.

The night bus is the cheapest

Tokyo to Osaka overnight runs about a third of the train. You arrive tired.

Domestic flights can undercut the train

Budget carriers booked early do. Add the time to reach the airport for a fair comparison.

Words that keep the night simple

If the words will not come, show the screen. Zoom puts the local script full-screen, which works better than speaking in a noisy taxi.
