A proposito di questo titolo
In this episode of Inside the Japanese Mind, we explore how Japanese people think on the inside — and why cultural misunderstandings often happen between Japanese locals and foreign visitors.
You may have heard stories like, “Foreign tourists were rude in Japan.”
But in many cases, it’s not about bad intentions. It’s about different rules, values, and ideas of what is considered “normal” or “polite.”
As a Japanese host, I explain the key values that shape the Japanese mindset, including:
Why harmony (wa) is more important than speaking up
Why effort and perseverance (ganbaru) are seen as virtues
How seniority and respect for age influence daily life and workplaces
And how these traditional values are slowly changing in modern Japan
Understanding these cultural foundations can help you avoid unintentional rudeness, reduce misunderstandings, and communicate more smoothly with Japanese people.
Whether you’re planning to visit Japan, living here, or simply curious about Japanese culture, this episode will give you a deeper look into the Japanese mind.
