- Japan has a high level of education, so English proficiency is correspondingly high, but Japanese people's English pronunciation tends to be quite localized
- Some wards or areas in Tokyo have "no smoking on the street" regulations, and hotels and restaurants that prohibit smoking are also increasing. Please be sure to smoke only in designated areas
