NTV News had a segment the other day about how the huge increase in Chinese tourists visiting Japan. It included this clip about “cultural differences” about toilet use:
Apparently many Chinese tourists are not properly using the sinks in bathrooms and some aren’t using toilets in a cleanly manner. We are shown some public restrooms that have put up signs in Chinese asking people to please be clean and to turn off the water in the sinks when they are finished washing their hands.
Also included is an interview with a staff person at the Prince Hotel in Hakone, who says that Chinese men and women who want extra towels sometimes leave bathing areas fully nude, much to the shock of Japanese guests. The hotel has printed multi-lingual instructions on proper use of bathing facilities.
