Got tickets to see the Backstreet Boys in concert next year. Been waiting about 20 years for this.
People in Japan tend to do this thing where they don’t directly say what they’re thinking so you have to work out how they really feel or what they mean. Obviously this happens elsewhere too but here it’s taken very far.
For example I was sitting with friends in a library after closing time and a staff member comes up and instead of asking us to leave she quietly mumbles in Japanese saying something along the lines of “hmm maybe I’ll be turning off the lights and I might leave in a minute”. Or one time I’m with friends looking for a capsule hotel to spend the night after missing the train home and instead of telling us we can’t stay because it’s full, the employee just stood there awkwardly staring at the screen saying “ummm, hmmm, let’s see” for a few minutes until we got the message and said it’s ok we will look elsewhere.

This is something that genuinely concerns me about going, especially when I may be hazy on the rules of a place.
I dont want to be a pain or make anyone's life harder out of cultural ignorance. I'm already concerned about needing directions since I've heard that people will walk miles with you to take you to the right place.
I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just look up on the customs before you go and you'll be fine
It's not difficult to know where you are going when you have Google maps. The people are really helpful though, don't know about the walking for miles with you thing but they might.
