Once you experience the service in Japan, going back to Britain will never be the same. Expect the finest courtesy and graciousness from bars, hotels, stores.
It is recommended we remember our manners in return, best to keep your irritations and road rage at home, it does not have any standing here.
We have lived here for 6 years and I have met 3 rude Japanese people compared to the useless attitude I experience when I come back each year to Britain.
I have walked home late at night after a Girls Night Out in Roppongi and never encountered any loud mouth louts, I could not do that anywhere in Scotland.
Tokyo is a wonderful place for those with a heart for adventure, we love it.
