$4.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Landing in Japan soon? Know exactly what to do — before you do it wrong.
Japan Travel Etiquette Guide packs 95 do's, don'ts and cultural quick-answers into a beautiful offline reference, written and fact-checked in Japan by a local.
WHAT'S INSIDE
• Money & Tipping — why you should never tip, and what to do instead
• Trains & Transport — escalator sides, priority seats, the last-train rule
• Eating & Drinking — chopstick taboos, slurping (yes, please), izakaya seat charges
• Onsen & Ryokan — the wash-first rule, tattoos, yukata left-over-right
• Shrines & Temples — how to pray at each (they're different!)
• Streets & Public — the no-trash-can mystery, smoking rules, queue culture
• Shopping & Konbini — tax-free rules, bag fees, eat-in vs takeout
• Homes & Visits — shoes, slippers, tatami and gift-giving
• Emergencies & Practical — 110 vs 119, earthquakes, lost & found, medications
Every tip tells you the DO or DON'T up front, then explains the why — so the customs actually make sense instead of feeling like a list of rules.

Every phrase in English, Japanese script and romaji — with a full-screen "Show this" mode. Can't pronounce it? Just show your phone to staff. It works every time.
