  1. In Japan, you have to take off your shoes before entering a house.
    At dinner, you mustn't eat by hands, you should use chopsticks, a folk, or a spoon.
    You will say "Itadakimasu" when you start eating.
    While you are eating, you can enjoy conversations, but it is impolite to talk with your mouse filled with food.
    When you finish eating, it is good to tell the family "Gochisousamadeshita".

  2. Hi, I have two advice for you.
    First, when you get into the boss’ s house you may have to take off your shoes.
    In Japan it is impolite to get into house with wearing the shoes.
    Next, if you eat something in a bowl you have to pick up them.
    It’s the custom which seen in only Japan.
    But it’s very important manner in Japan.

  3. It's good idea to bring some gifts from your country. I think foods is really convenient for Japanese people. That means Japanese people likes to eat variety of foods from different country and they often want you to explain what kind of food is it. Because Japanese people is kind of cautious so they always want to know what the thing is. So Don't forget to explain your gifts clearly.

  4. You should learn Japanese manners before you go there as they are quite different from the ones in other countries.
    First of all, Japansese people eat meals with chopsticks. You should master how to use chopsticks or ask forks instead of chopsticks if you can’t use them.
    And remember not to use hand to eat because it is a very impolite behavior in Japan. Also, putting chopsticks on a plate isn’t polite, so make sure to put them on a table.

  5. You need to arrive at her house before 5 to 10 minutes at the time.
    It is a manner when you meet someone at Japan.
    Also if the hosts prepare tha meal, you should ask her to what you can do.
    Japanese meals often use many dishes so maybe you can carry them to the table.
    Finally, taking some souvenirs from your country is good idea too.
