Unknown Japanese Laws that can get you ARRESTED
Get 10% off with my link on Squarespace -
Strange Japanese Laws and Weird Japanese laws that could get someone Arrested. Over the years I’ve come across some Japanese laws that aren’t completely obvious, especially to visitors so I thought I’d make this fun video and share it with all of you. In fact, these Japanese laws are stuff that many Japanese consider manners or common sense, but they’ve taken it one step further and made it official law just in case someone decides to go against the grain. Whether or not the Japanese authorities decide to arrest someone or prosecute though maybe a different story, but nonetheless these laws may be one of the reasons why things in Japan stay in order. Many of the items shared in the video fall under Japanese 軽犯罪法, Keihan zaihou or the minor crime law which is sometimes explained as a law that stipulates the minimum level of morality that citizens should observe in their daily lives and it targets bad acts that are often seen in daily life. All minor crime law violators could face a fine between about $10 to $100 and or jail time of 1 to 30 days.

Things Okay in Japan but Illegal Around the World
Use my code PAOLO15 at to get $15 off your first Bokksu Japanese snack box!
Shocking Laws okay in Japan, but illegal around the world. So I’ve made videos before on things you can’t do in Japan because of laws or unknown laws that could get you arrested, but in this video I wanted to switch things up a little and share with you some things that are legal in Japan but may be illegal in other parts of the world. Many think that Japan is a very strict country, but when you hear some of these Japanese laws you may be scratching your head. And to be clear from the start, I don’t recommend doing any of these things. I’m not providing legal advice and this is for entertainment only.

Why Japan Arrests Foreigners
Understanding Japanese laws to avoid foreigner tourist arrests. Thanks to Squarespace, get 10% Off:
The Japanese justice system and Japanese laws are stricter than many countries and sometimes lead to foreigner arrests in Japan simply because foreigners are unaware of Japan laws and Japan justice system. The Japanese judicial system has 99% conviction rate in Japan so foreigners should be mindful and aware how strict Japan laws and rules are. Japanese Police arrests tourist in Japan or Japan Police arrest foreigners in Japan when they are under suspicion of a crime. Suspects will be brought into police custody to be interrogated for 3 days and if the Japanese police are still not satisfied, the police can request for additional detainment for up to 23 days total, without the suspect being officially charged with a crime in Japan. In this video, I interview a Japanese Trial Lawyer, Yugo Ishibashi, to help me understand the Japanese justice system as well as to share with foreigners and tourists how Japanese law works in Japan and maybe gain some insight on what options a foreigner has if arrested in Japan. Japanese police interrogation is quite stressful and Yugo mentions that sometimes suspects plead guilty even though they didn't commit the crime due to the pressure of the Japanese police interrogation. If suspects don't plead guilty to the crime, it may be possible to be detained for more than a year until the suspect confess to a crime. This is sometimes referred to as Hostage Justice in Japan. Convicted persons will end up in Japanese Jail and Japanese prison. This video should help educate tourist visiting Japan and foreigners living in Japan to help ensure that they are aware of how strict Japanese laws are so that they are careful to not violate the laws when they are in Japan. But keep in mind that these laws are one of the reasons why Japan is so safe compared to many other countries. This video is not to deter foreigners or tourists from visiting Japan, but they should just be aware of Japanese laws and the risks when breaking laws in Japan like graffiti in japan or fighting in japan.

20 Things Can’t Be Seen Anywhere But in Japan
Elements from Japanese culture are in our lives right now: many people watch anime and Japanese TV series, they eat wok and sushi, and they listen to songs by Japanese singers. And even such a seemingly ordinary thing as karaoke actually originated in Japan. However, there are still some things that can only be seen in the Land of the Rising Sun.
Really, Japan is a unique country, different from the rest of the world. Wanna have Pringles soup when in Japan? Here you go. In the mood for dinner with a huge plush Moomin in a Japanese cafe? Not a problem at all. Here are some cultural things can’t be seen anywhere but in Japan.

SUMMARY:
- Most people know that a sure sign they CAN cross the road is the little, lit-up green man, right? Well, not in Japan! There, you should wait for a green rabbit called Miffy.
- In Japan, they grow square watermelons. Nope, it's not a slip of the tongue. In Kagawa prefecture, they produce a couple hundred square watermelons a year.
- When you buy Pringles in Japan, you don't get a tube of potato chips; you get noodles!
- In Japan, if you come to a cafe alone, you get a massive plush Moomin as your lunch companion so that you don't feel sad!
- A Holiday meal means tons of tasty food and, of course, a big roast turkey! But if you ever celebrate the Holidays while in Japan, don't get surprised to be treated with KFC instead of more traditional food.
- In the Ginza district of Tokyo, there’s an unusual stationery store which rises 12 floors!
- There are more than 50 million vending machines in Japan, and that means they’re literally everywhere!
- If you're in Japan and wondering what souvenirs you can get for your family and friends, try Japan-limited Kit-Kats!
- Suffering from the cold in the winter? Just get yourself one of these one-use pocket-heaters that are so popular in Japan! It's called kairo, and nowadays, you just need to open it for the chemical reaction to begin.
- Do you love unusual forms of art? Then how about rice paddy art? People plant rice of different colors and types to create breathtaking images in paddy fields.
- Imagine returning home after a long and crazy day at work. The Japanese have found a solution for this problem - and that's a subway chin rest!

Why Japanese Don't Like Foreigners
10 Reasons Why Japanese Don't Like Foreigners. Thanks to Squarespace, get 10% Off: Japan tourists or foreigners coming to Japan may not understand Japanese culture because of this some Japanese dislike foreigners for not understanding Japanese manner and etiquette. As a generalization, Japanese follow the rules and get frustrated when people don't follow those rules, but often time they generally avoid confrontation when they have these sort of issues. Based on my experience, this is why Japanese don't like foreigners and tourists and what they are really thinking when foreigners break the rules. I can't stress enough that these are generalizations and not everyone is like this as everyone is unique, but for the purpose of this video and to show what Japanese may be getting pissed off about, I speak in general terms. These are my Japan tips for tourists to help them understand Japanese manners so they don't make those tourist mistakes in Japan or in that they may be unknowingly viewed as misbehaving tourists in Japan. Although some Japanese hate foreigners for doing things in the video, some other Japanese may be okay with the behavior but again I am speaking in general terms. In general, I don't think foreigners want to be rude tourists in Japan, but because they don't understand Japanese rules or Japanese manner they make the classical foreigner mistakes in Japan. These are must-know Japan tips to and a Japan guide when visiting Japan.

What New Year's at my Japanese In-Laws House is like
Spending Japan New Year's Holiday at my Japanese wife's parent's house in Aichi Prefecture. This is what it is like living in Japan outside of Tokyo and how Japanese families spend New Year's Eve together and what happens the following days. Life in Japan can be different than most countries, but as long as your able to appreciate Japanese culture and the differences, it can feel like home. We spend time with Maiko's Japanese family including her sister and new husband. Also, Wolfy meets grandpa for the first time in his life. It’s been a lonely few years for many Japanese families, as they’ve avoided returning home for the Holidays and even this year, many areas urged their city family members to avoid travel in fear of getting sick. Luckily for us though, we’re all able to finally get together and welcome both Wolfy and Junya to the family. As many of you know, from following the channel this last year, Maiko and Wolfy had quite a few health issues so I’m personally thankful that our family was able to get through this year. It’s nothing but struggle city when trying to create content while tending to sick family members at the same time. I can wish for nothing more than a healthy family for 2023.

___________________________________________________________________
Japanese Onsen are a very good reason to travel to japan. But visiting a Japanese bathhouse for the first time can feel quite daunting: Which area is for man and which for women? Do I really have to be fully naked? And what other rules are there? Here’s a comprehensive guide of do’s and dont’s at Japan’s public baths.
An onsen is a natural hot spring, whereas a sento is a public bathhouse that uses artificially heated water. There are also outdoor onsen called rotemburo. Most of the times onsen are part of traditional Japanese inns called ryokan, while sento are often located residential areas. The rules and the bath etiquette is pretty much the same for all of these.
A lot of people are a little scared of their first onsen experience, but to be honest the process is quite straightforward, and most of the etiquette is just common sense.
There’s one thing you have to know before going: Tatoos are kind of a problem. Most public baths will turn away guests with tatoos. Now this is changing slowly, so you might get lucky. But I would definitely check in with the onsen before you go.
Once you’ve found an onsen, ♨ enter it and you’ll probably find lockers or a place to put your shoes. As at most places you’ll be expected to take your shoes off after entering. From here you buy your tickets at a vending machine or a reception. You can also get towels here – or you bring them yourself. I’d recommend to bring one big towell and one small towell.
Now it’s time to enter the changing room. Nowadays almost all bath houses in Japan are separated for men and women, so be sure to enter the correct area. Often but not always you can already tell by the color of the curtains hanging in front of the changing room. Red is for women, blue is for men. It can’t hurt to know these kanji or hiragana meaning man and women.
In the changing room you’ll either find lockers or baskets where you can leave your belongings. And i mean all of them. Its usually not allowed to wear a bathing suit in the onsen, as they might be unclean. So yes you have to be fully naked. But so it is everyone else, so don’t worry too much about it.
Here’s where your small towel comes in handy. It’s the only thing you take with you and you can use it to cover some parts of your body. You’ll probably see some Japanese people doing the same.
Once you leave the changing room, you can not get straight into onsen. Instead you’ll find either modern showers or a washing area with chairs and buckets. Clean yourself and rinse off completely. Most bathhouses provide toiletries to use in this shower area. It’s also considered polite to clean the shower area and the items that you used.
You can finally enter the hot water of the big pool, but make sure your small tower does not come in contact with the water. This is another rule focused on keeping the water clean. Most people simply wear the small towell on their heads. Your hair should also be kept out of the water. If you have long hair, make sure to tie it up.
An onsen is a place to relax, so avoid being to loud, swimming or running around. Just soak in the hot water and make sure to respect the personal space of people around you. If possible and if there is one, don’t sit too close to the area where fresh water is pouring into the main pool.
Once you’re down, use your small towel to dry off roughly, before entering the changing room. It’s not forbidden to rinse again at the shower area, but it doesn’t really makes sense as the onsen water with all the minerals are supposedly good for your skin and your health.

Ryokan Rules, Manners & Etiquette in Japan
How to stay at a traditional Japanese ryokan inn? What is the difference with a normal hotel?
These family-own inns are unique to Japan. They're common around hot spring towns or onsen areas like Hakone, as well as Kyoto and Tokyo. Most ryokans will have public baths (sento) or hot spring baths (onsen) that are shared among guests, similar to the scenes from Spirited Away!
Staying in a ryokan can be a bit of a culture shock to anyone who's unfamiliar with the customs and practices in Japan. However, the unique experience of staying at a traditional inn or ryokan can be very rewarding and relaxing - given you follow the rules!
While some ryokans do not strictly follow traditional or old-school practices to accommodate foreign tourists, there are still more rules in play than a regular Western-style hotel that we're all very familiar with. Guests are expected to respect the room! Especially the fragile shoji paper screen doors, the soft tatami mats, and the yukata.
Fun fact
Did you know that the oldest ryokan was established in 705 AD? Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan is the Guinness World Record holder for the oldest hotel in the world! It is managed by the same family for 52 generations and is still in business today.
