I'm going to Japan and will avoid most of the tourist areas. No Kyoto or Osaka for me.
Please go visit those areas. These areas have so many things to do and things to see. You just have to be mindful of their culture.
When eating at restaurants, you should mind the volume of your voice. The only exception is places that serves alcohol(places like BBQ and late night places).
Follow the rules. There are lines for the trains, don't cross those lines. Smoking in very specific area. Do not walk and eat your food on the street(no clue the reasoning behind this, but was told by many locals).
You're a guest in their country. Some Americans have that alpha/asshole privilege mentality. As long as you're respectful, you will get the best experience.
There are a couple more rules that i forgot, but I'm sure a YouTube search can get the rest.
Please enjoy Japan and if you have time, come visit Taiwan!
I'll be Tokyo for the last leg of my trip. The plan is to visit Sapporo, Sendai, Hakone, and Tokyo.
I'm from Mumbai which is an overwhelming city so I'm deliberately going to Northern part of Japan for hopefully some peace before coming to Tokyo. Maybe I'll visit other parts some other time. There's still plenty to see.
And I've been following Japan travel related subreddits since last month or so. Almost everyone has emphasised on not eating while walking. I didn't even consider that as a thing. Maybe other than eating ice cream or drinking soda.
