1.what is about JAPANESE culture that surprises people outside Japan?
1.Adulting ceremonies are held simultaneosly throughout the Japan
In Japan, '' Adulting ceremony'' is the biggest event in their life that new 20 year-old people are accepted as an adult.
And similar cultures exist outside Japan. For example, in US, the event which name is ''Sweet sixteen'' is exidted. They consider the age 16 , when you can get a driver's license, and celebrate that year's birthday in a big way!
Of course, everyone's birthday is different, so the timing differs form Japan ,where all new adults are celebrated at the same time throughout the country.
2.On Valentine’s day, women give chocolate to men
Valentine's Day, which falls on February 14th every year, originated with a Christain priest during the Roman Enpire, and is universally recognized as a day for lovers to show their love to each other.
In Japan, it is generally recognized as a day for women to give chocolate to men.
In fact, it is rare in the world to find a case in which the giver and the gift are decided, and this is uniqe custom. In paticular, Japan is the only country in the world where chocolate is considered a gift.

Food culture varies greatly culture to culture.
One of the unique JAPANESE food cultures that is not well accepted ''eating with a lot of noise''. In Japan, it is common to make a slurping sound when eating Soba, Udon,and Ramen. However, this does not make a good impression outside Japan, where eating quietly and slowly is often considered as a vitue.
5.Restaurants offer free water and hand towels
For JAPANESE people, it is common sense that ''restaurants offer free water and hand towels''.
This is the "Omotenashi(ććć¦ćŖć)”culuture!
