Daily Life (Neighborly Ties)
To make friends with Japanese people and become a part of the community, it is important to take the initiative to talk with your neighbors. When moving into a new place, it is customary to pay a visit to formally greet your next-door neighbors. It is also important to participate in town councils and other neighborhood activities. Town councils and local children’s associations hold recycling activities, parties, and other events. You can learn about your community through such events.
