Hello, today I will introduce. Etiquette in visiting a Japanese house Should know before making a mistake !!! To visit a Japanese home seems to be quite difficult. Because there are many different ceremonies. Afraid to make mistakes from his culture. I will be fired from the house. But do not be afraid of being fired from home, of course. If so, follow these steps:

Etiquette in visiting a Japanese house

1. Do not step on the tatami mats.

If it is a high chair, it will not be a problem. If it is a Japanese house with a tatami mat, it must be especially careful to walk on the mat, because it should not step on the edge of the tatami. In the past, stepping on a tatami mat was like stepping on the head of a homeowner. Very bad deed itself.

2. Do not place on the table.

The bag should be placed on the left hand side. If sitting on a chair, it should be placed next to the chair. But it depends on the nature of the house. And most importantly, do not put things on the table strictly. If you bring the deposit after the seat is completed. And bring out of the bag. Then just give the item only.

3. Greetings should stand up from the chair.

In front of the house. Let's say 「お じ ゃ ま た し ま す.」 Ojamaitashimasu If you sit on a tatami mat, get out of the cushion. If it is a chair to stand up and stand behind the chair and then bow to greet each other. Greetings should be well curved and look at the conversation partner at all times.

4. When the air is too cold. Do not be afraid to speak.

When it feels cold or too hot. We can tell homeowners to get that straight to help adjust the air. However, if the homeowner feels that the guest has obvious chills. To ask that. "Cold or not?", Which do not need to say. To be comfortable both parties.

5. Do not say "Anything"

This time to visit other people. Homeowners often ask. "Do you have any coffee or tea?" "Anything", because the homeowner is very concerned, "I'm a coffee." The homeowner will feel a lot better.

6. Do not put your hand out to pick up items is very bad manners.

When the landlord handed out candy or water. Should be out to get it. Should not sit or deny straight away. And not to be disheartened, we should eat it. But if it is not really like us. Should refrain from denying it straight away, I should say that "diet" people will feel better.

7. To use the toilet is not bad.

We can not control the power of nature is not it. If you feel the owner of the house, then the toilet at the train station or convenience store before visiting other people will be better. If pain occurs in his home. We should find a good speech. Then ask to go. "Can I wash my hands?" Or "Can I use the bathroom?" When the business is finished, it should be put on a slipper as usual.

8. When should a call come in?

Before entering the house We should set the phone mode is a shake it is better. If you forget to call the phone in the talk. Should be cut off before. Then hurry 「失礼 し ま す」 Shitsureishimasu "Sorry" and then went out to talk on the phone outside. We should not talk for a few minutes, just enough to call back. We have to consider the landlord that he is waiting for us.
