After watching the olympics a lot lately it made us think about the time when we were fortunate to go Japan for the first time to provide sport science support for a rugby tour of 50 young 16-18 year old athletes. After just 1 week of being here the culture we were surrounded by was overwhelmingly fascinating. Here are the most important lessons we witnessed…

-Respect: Manners and being curtious is very apparent everywhere you go. People are polite to everyone and politeness to stranger, from or family happens without a second thought

-Trust: If you loose something in Japan it’s very likely you will find it again. People either leave things where they are if it does not belong to them or it will be put in the Koban or local police box. Things are rarely stolen or locked up!

-Discreetness: In quiet environments like the bus or train, phones are seldom used and put on silent so not to disturb the people around you.

-Patience: You will often find orderly uniform queues in places like the bank, post office or restaurants. People don’t push in and proactively help the person in front of them.

-Sharing: If you find yourself in a public place needing the loo it is common practice to freely use the nearest one too you, whether that be in a shop or a restaurant. There is no charge or disapproving looks from anyone.

-Rubbish: There are a very small amounts bins in public places. This is because people are expected to take their own rubbish home and dispose of it theirselves. Leaving litter around is unacceptable practice.

-Sleeping: You often see people asleep at their desks, in shops or other public areas. These unintentional naps are usually because people are working so hard at something, or extremely long hours, they just can not keep their eyes open. Others leave them be and bosses widely accept this to allow the person to recharge, reset and carry on.

-Shoes: In many places, mainly houses & restaurants, it is expected that you take your shoes off before entering. This is mainly to stop the floor getting dirty but also a sign of respect. Slippers are often provided if you need to use the bathroom.

People of all ages, professions and cultures, could learn many things from Japanese culture. They have got the balance right and make their country a beautiful place to be. Adopting just one of these lessons could help improve your home, work, training and/or performance environment for the better…
