You don't have to memorize Japan's rules. Learn why each one exists, and the right move becomes obvious — across 76 everyday scenes.
Omotenashi Guide is a practical etiquette companion for anyone navigating everyday life in Japan — whether you're visiting for the first time, returning again, or simply curious about the culture.
This isn't a list of rules to avoid embarrassing yourself. Every scene starts with the reason — because a custom you understand is one you follow without thinking. On trains, at restaurants, in shrines and temples, at onsen, while shopping, and in daily life.
WHAT'S INSIDE
• 76 real-world scenes across 7 categories: transport, dining, shrines & temples, onsen & stays, shopping, sightseeing, and everyday manners
• Each scene explains what to do, what to avoid, and — most importantly — why it matters, with real cultural and historical context
• Useful Japanese phrases with romaji and kana pronunciation for each scene
• A situation-based home screen: tell us where you are right now, and jump straight to the etiquette that matters
• Bookmark scenes to build your own personal etiquette handbook for your trip
• A 35-question quiz across all 7 categories to test what you've learned, with wrong answers linking straight back to the scene you should review
DESIGNED FOR EVERYDAY USE
• Fully offline — no internet connection required once installed
• Available in English, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Thai, and Spanish
• High-contrast design built to stay readable outdoors, even in bright sunlight
Understand the reason, and a custom stops being a rule you follow. It becomes what you'd have done anyway. That's what Omotenashi Guide is built for.
