This video is not even about respecting Japanese culture. It is just about respecting. And how people lost the ability to do that at the most basic level...
"It says a lot about society..."

"Who raised you?" Is the realest thing I've heard all week and very fitting in this topic!

And then people wonder why certain places in Japan say no foreigners

It’s not even how to act in Japan anymore, it’s how some people can’t conduct themselves in public. That girl who did pull ups is lucky she didn’t cause damage.

I always think about it this quote from Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo. Robin told the team that they’re guests in the country and to be on their best behavior. At least that’s just for me lol

I was into her apology until she said, "Stop sending me messages."
That takes the sincerity out of it.

Those girls are beyond help. You don't need to know Japanese history to know don't do pull ups in a shrine.

詳しい説明をありがとう。日本では海外からの観光客の不敬な振る舞いが大きな社会問題になっています。私たちは基本的に観光客にはできるだけ親切に対応したいと考えていますが、日本文化を貶める行動には断固反対します。日本はテーマパークではありません。日本人はテーマパークの従業員ではありません。

In a world of bad influencer apologies, that pullup girl has got to be up there with one of the worst. She was way more concerned with people not calling her out than making amends for the disrespect she showed.

Why are people treating Japan like an amusement park? Be respectful of Japans culture - actually this applies to any foreign country visited. It's really not hard.

"have you ever gone to a mosque and randomly done push ups"
thats just disrespectf- ohhhh

Ok, I feel like this needs to be said for EVERYONE to hear. When you travel to another country: you are both a guest, AND an unofficial diplomatic representative of your country. The way you behave can, will, and does reflect on other people going to those places. This leads to both discriminatory behavior towards visitors and can even negatively affect your country’s relations with who you’ve offended. You are allowed to have fun, in fact if you went anywhere and didn’t have fun then I feel bad for you. But please don’t act like it’s spring break 1997.  And for THE LOVE OF GOD if you are unfortunate enough to stumble upon someone who has unfortunately passed away in a strange place, turn off all photographic and video equipment, call the local authorities, cooperate, and then just leave the area once they have the situation under control!

I love aki doesn't even bother blurry they face😂 i love it

As a 6'9" white American dude who has been to Japan twice now, I know I stick out like a sore thumb lol. But, being a giant helps make me more memorable. I was too tall for a ride at Disney(right? me? go figure) and the women there were so apologetic and I just kept telling them in my broken Japanese "its ok, i'm just an American Godzilla." They did get a good laugh from that.

Torii Gates are NOT pull-up bars!

I am Japanese. Many Japanese were angry when they saw the video of this woman doing pull-ups at the shrine, but there were also many Japanese who were concerned and felt sorry for her. The place is a shrine dedicated to the fox god. There are many shrines in Japan that worship foxes, but that place is the most famous one. It is said that the fox god is the scariest god to offend, and if you offend him, you, your loved ones, and your environment will suffer. Some Japanese even think, “Why is the shrine where I suspended myself a shrine dedicated to the fox god...other gods might have forgiven me...” A friend of mine was disrespected when he was a student and suffered a lot. Japan is not an amusement park.

（I used a translator. Please forgive my poor English.）

I went to Japan a while ago- luckily I didn’t meet people like this, but I feel bad for the people who DO have to deal with them.

I went to Japan last week. It’s bad….. a bunch of people just stop walking to take a picture while there’s foot traffic and blocking the walk way. Even heard a local with his daughter say “Baka gaijin”. I don’t blame them. People have lost common sense for social media

As a Chilean, I'm deeply sorry about the Tori gates girl 😣, we don't claim her .

DUDE THE TORII GATE INCIDENT PISSED ME OFF JAPAN IS NOT A PLAYGROUND TOURISTS!!!!
