Japan: You're Doing It Wrong

Your Japan trip is a ticking time bomb of embarrassment and wasted cash. Let's defuse it.

You've color-coded your itinerary.

You've memorized the train map.

You think you're smooth.

You aren't.

You are about to fly into a minefield of social faux pas and "Inbound" tourist traps. You are about to become the tourist that locals roll their eyes at: the one blocking the ticket gate, accidentally insulting the chef, and paying double for "viral" food that locals wouldn't touch.

Let me throw you a life saver before you drown: Japan: You're Doing It Wrong.

I’ve done the math, fought the crowds, and decoded the unwritten rules so you don't have to learn the hard way. This guide is an intervention.

• The Sweat Penalty: The logistical error that marks you as a rookie the moment you step off the train — and how to fix it before you break a sweat.
• The Culinary Insult: Why the chef is looking at you like that. You think you're being polite, but you're actually ruining the meal — learn the difference before you sit down.
• The "X" at the Door: The real reason that empty restaurant just turned you away. (Hint: it isn't racism — it’s economics.)
• The Hype Trap: Why you are paying a 600% markup for the "Inbound Bowl," and where to find the real deal for pennies on the dollar.
• The No-Fun Zone: The completely common item in your toiletry bag that could land you in a Japanese detention cell — seriously, leave it at home.

Stop trying to replicate the influencers. Stop lighting your money on fire.

Use this book. Save your bank account. Save your dignity. Do Japan right.
