Common Questions in Japan
- Expect common questions from Japanese people, like name, country of origin, job, and reason for visiting.
- These questions are usually driven by cultural differences and genuine curiosity, not rudeness.
Introducing Yourself
- When asked your name in Japanese, state your last name followed by your first name.
- Consider using katakana for your name to aid pronunciation.
Stating Your Origin
- Reply to "Okuniyua Dochira desu ka?" (Where are you from?) with your country's name followed by "desu".
- You can also say "[country name] kara kimashita" (I came from [country name]).
