How To Immerse Yourself in The Japanese Culture

There are two main types of travelers all over the world. First is the tourist that scurry through travel sites, visit all the famous tourist spots, stay in expensive and comfortable accommodation then go home without even interacting or talking with the locals. The other one is a tourist who stay in hostels, enjoy talking to the locals and experience the culture and tradition of the destination that they are in. If you are the latter, then here are some ways on how to immerse yourself in the culture of Japan.

·         Join their roads.

One of the best way to see how Japanese do things is to actually travel with the locals. The best way to do that is to take the local train or bus. This may be quite scary for you, especially since if you do not know how to speak Japanese. However, there are some things that you can do to survive the local commuting scene. If you do not know how to read out Japanese characters, you can just simply bring a brochure of your hotel or destination and just show it to the locals or the driver so that they can be able to know where they should bring you. Another transportation you would like to try would be the bicycle. This is what Japanese people use to go from one place to the other.

·         Enjoy an onsen bath.

You can never say that you have been to Japan if you have not tried their onsen bath. Onsen baths are indoor hot springs bath where Japanese people bathe naked. If you are quite insecure of how you look, do not be. People in this place are all nude so you would not exactly be the apple of everyone’s eye. If you are a bit of an introvert, then the gender-segregated baths are perfect for you but if you like to spice things up a bit, then a co-ed onsen bath would be a great idea.

·         Eat their best dishes.

When you travel to this amazing place, you will get to realize that there are many dishes to try in Japan. The best way to enjoy your stay in Japan is to consume as much of their dishes as much as you can. Some of the delicious dishes that you can try include sushi, ramen and a whole lot more.

Immensing yourself in the culture of your country that you are visiting is one of your biggest goals when traveling. The tips mentioned above will help you to enjoy the culture of Japan at its finest. Keep in mind that the best way to enjoy Japan is to fully experience all their culture and traditions.
