Common Cultural Mistakes to Avoid in Japan

Japan culture mistakes
जापानमा नेपालीले बारम्बार गर्ने संस्कृतिक गल्तीहरू — र कसरी बच्ने?

Japan is a beautiful country with peaceful people, clean cities, and deep traditions.
तर जब हामी नेपाली विद्यार्थी वा कामदारको रूपमा जापान पुग्छौं, थोरै cultural difference ले गर्दा गल्ती गर्न सक्छौं।
Let’s look at 5 common mistakes that many Nepalis unknowingly make in Japan — and how to avoid them.

 

❌ 1. Too Loud in Public – सार्वजनिक ठाउँमा ठूलो स्वरमा बोल्ने

Japan is a quiet society.
Metro, bus, park, वा restaurantमा धेरै ठूलो स्वरले कुरा गर्नु असभ्य मानिन्छ।
✅ Do this instead: Public मा soft voice प्रयोग गर्नुहोस्, फोन call हुँदा train मा कुरा नगर्नुहोस्।

 

❌ 2. Not Saying “Itadakimasu” or “Gochisousama” Before/After Meals

खाना खानु अगाडि जापानीहरूले “Itadakimasu” (いただきます) भन्छन्, र खान सकेपछि “Gochisousama deshita” (ごちそうさまでした)।
यो respect देखाउने तरिका हो cook वा server को लागि।
✅ Try this: खाजापछि “Gochisousama” भन्न सुरु गर्नुहोस् — यो धेरै positive देखिन्छ!

 

❌ 3. Wearing Shoes Indoors – घरभित्र जुत्ता लगाउने

Nepalमा पनि कतिपय घरमा यो चलन छ, तर जापानमा त यो धेरै गम्भीर कुरा हो।
घरभित्र जुत्ता लगाउनु ठुलो बेइज्जती मानिन्छ।
✅ Always do this: घर, temple, केही schools वा restaurants भित्र प्रवेश गर्दा जुत्ता खोलेर स्लिपर लगाउनुहोस्।

 

❌ 4. Not Bowing – नमस्कार नगर्ने

In Japan, bowing (ओभालिएर respect देखाउने) is like shaking hands.
Head निहुराएर सम्मान देखाउनु etiquette को ठूलो हिस्सा हो।
✅ Tip: कसैले greet गर्दा वा sorry भन्न पर्दा हल्का निहुरनुहोस् — “Ojigi” भन्नु Japanese culture मा सम्मानको प्रतीक हो।

❌ 5. Not Separating Trash Properly – फोहोर नछुट्याउने

Japan मा फोहोर छुट्याएर फाल्नु अनिवार्य हुन्छ:

  • Burnable

  • Non-burnable

  • Bottles / Cans

  • Plastics

धेरै Nepali साथीहरूले सुरुमा confuse हुन्छन्।
✅ Learn this: आफ्नो apartment को garbage rule पढ्नुहोस्, र फोहोर schedule मिलाएर फाल्नुहोस्।
