What are some of the customs of life in Japan that you find unbearable?

There are a lot of traditional customs in Japan, but the most difficult thing for me to accept is the characteristic behavior of men and women bathing together and bathing with my father before marriage. Japan's traditional culture is actually very different from China's, the local tatami mat life pattern, the sitting of tired legs all the time, and the Japanese "seppuku" idea that makes people feel speechless; There are many customs in Japan, and many of them are very different from the cultural life of our country, and the traditional culture of different countries creates different lifestyles.

1. The traditional Japanese idea of male and female bathing, and the bathing mode with no privacy at all is really unacceptable

In traditional Japanese culture, male and female bathing is the most important local characteristic of life, and they feel that only by bathing together can men and women feel life "sincerely" and show respect for each other; When we are accustomed to protecting privacy and want to bathe with other members of the opposite sex, in fact, it is difficult for most people to accept in their hearts, after all, privacy, hygiene and safety issues will be considered. It is indispensable to prevent people, and the issue of going out to take a bath is really right, we can't be sure if the opposite sex who bathes with us has any deliberate thoughts, or it's better not to feel casually.

2. Although it is necessary to respect the father, there is really a kind of speechless custom to have to take a bath with the father before marriage

Japanese girls have to bathe their fathers or bathe with their fathers the day before they get married, and many people find it difficult to understand this custom. After all, as adults, we have long known the problem of the separation between men and women, even our own fathers will not touch it casually, but it is unacceptable to take a bath with our father, although most of them are just soaking in the water and helping my father rub his back, but this will also make people embarrassed, which is really difficult for me to accept.

There are really many unique customs and habits in Japan, but what are the special customs that make you feel helpless the most?

Drink cool water. If you've spent some time in Japan, you'll find that Japanese people rarely drink hot water, even when girls are menstruating.

There are many ways of life in Japan that are different from those in China, but the most uncomfortable thing for me is that I have to kneel when I eat, and I feel so guilty that my legs go numb after kneeling for a while.

Japanese people kneel on the floor when eating or drinking tea and chatting, and they like to make loud noises when eating noodles, and the louder the sound of Japanese noodles, the better the noodles are.
