What I Hate Tourists Doing in Japan

There are so many travelers in Kyoto now as if the covid pandemic never happened. As much as I am happy that everyone is visiting my favorite city in Japan, there is something I really don’t like seeing tourists do. It is… Sitting on the ground in public spaces. The act of sitting outside on the ground or floor is considered very vulgar in Japan. There are religious and cultural reasons for this, such as the fact that in Japan people sleep and sit on the floor, and if they get dirty, they will ruin their own and others' homes. Now, do Japanese people never do this? Unfortunately, some do. But if you ever have a chance to visit Japan, take a look at those who sit in front of convenience stores or near game stations. You will notice that many people have no manners and no decency. When people sit on the ground, it ruins the scenery and is disturbing for many Japanese. It may be tough sometimes, but you should stand unless you find a bench or some other place where you are allowed to sit.
