I lived in Japan for 6 years for my doctorate and from what my friends and labmates told me I could gather two things. A. Japanese people say they don’t mind if you are yourself and act the way you feel like (even though they do mind and get offended and annoyed and don’t tell you) B. They appreciate you trying hard to blend in by embracing their customs cultures and habits (but they get really annoyed if you don’t get them right and also won’t tell you) So I kind of gave up trying to please and just slowly became integrated by being polite and having people getting used to me.

Actually in a sense what they expect is that you shall be yourself, and yet that yourself shall fit their societal norm (and that shall come from yourself, or from your own awareness.) Because only when you are wholeheartedly one of them would you be abiding by that standard from the bottom of your heart. In fact in Japan being "different" is considered as "bothering others" and so your natural humility is to "not bother others" by constantly looking around and follow what most others are doing (all by yourself.) Even things like if everyone turn left there and you turn right, not to say costume not blending in 🙃 But as soon as you try, people feel it and most will be appreciate it. (And this kinda thinking is changing in the young generations, so more people are happy with meeting people that are different.)

So school dress codes are different from what is and isn't acceptable. Many Japanese schools are really strict and don't allow makeup or curling your hair, etc. none of which are socially taboo. Sunglasses are associated with Mafia and Yakuza as are tattoos, etc. But it's not a no-go so much as it seems sketchy. It will make it harder to get close to people but at the end of the day it won't hinder you unless you are staying long term and even then your personal interactions will matter more than the fact that you wear sunglasses.

I get heat exhaustion throughout every summer and feel horrible. If I’m indoors, the warmest temperature that I am comfortable in is in the high 60s. But if I’m moving around, such as cleaning, going up and down stairs to do laundry, etc. I need it to be in the low to mid 60s. If I’m outside working or moving around a lot I need it to be in the 50s or less. If I’m shoveling snow for more than 5/10 minutes I can’t wear a coat or long sleeves.

I love Japan :) Except the society is super overwhelming, has high expectations, feels almost prestigious and definitely not for most of the west, extremely strict... I would not travel to any place in the world if I already established I'm not fit for their society or culture. I'm a meek and introverted person who appreciates quiet scenery and traditional culture, and I would love to be able to learn Japanese, but I'm too focused on my Spanish classes 😭

My theory is that there's the odd person that will look down on it and as a foreigner that will be perceived as you finding out you're offending people and didn't realize it, even though it was likely just the one or two old fuddy duddies that had a problem. But as a native you'll recognize it as just that one prude and that they should be ignored, so you'll wear what you like and just ignore them since in reality it's fine. Because every culture has its prudes, unfortunately.

Shoulders....I'm not really sure about, but anything getting even close to cleavage territory is definitely a no go. *Obviously* you will always see *someone* doing it, but if you ever come down here and look at people by and large the vast majority of girls cover up their torso. Now what she didn't mention is that legs are absolutely fair game. You want to wear a really short skirt? Go for it, over half of any of the younger girls you walk by will be wearing them Also also another caveat... People understand foreigners have different fashion sense and don't really judge too deeply on what they wear as opposed to how they'd hold themselves or other locals to fashion wise

Showing shoulders/cleavage is seen as sexy. There's a time and a place to dress that way (not at a temple or work.) This is true for nearly every Asian country. In some countries like Japan, Korea and Taiwan, short shorts and skirts are usually no big deal (as long as you're not wearing them to school, work or a temple) and especially if shoulders and cleavage are covered. Young people sometimes break these "rules" in major cities. The impression I get in Japan is to be considerate of others, and dressing appropriately does that.

It’s true that wearing kimono takes practice but if you go in the summer months especially August yukata might be a good alternative 💜 regarding the food stains on rental kimono: you can not just wash a kimono and to really clean it even in Japan the shop will have to send it to a specialist and get it taken apart cleaned and re sewn. That costs easily over 1000$ so depending on the worth it might be more cost effective for them to buy a “new “ kimono.

There’s nothing wrong with knowing what is considered appropriate to wear and what isn’t, especially for a foreign country that you would want to visit. If you don’t care what others would think, then wear whatever you want (as long as it’s legal and not offensive). If you do, then do your own research and try to match what the locals wear or what citizens there consider “normal”. And if you have a problem with how locals feel, then that’s on you because you’re in a different country, meaning people there might not have the same mindset as your home country and aren’t obligated to accept you. But either way, as long as what you wear is comfortable to you, that’s all that matters
