There are some things that peoplewho come toJapan to visit should be aware of. I have not read much mention of this anditmay be new to many ofyou.
Thatis, manyJapanese do notlike the smell ofperfume.On trains, in crowdedplaces, and in restaurants, the smell ofperfumeis considered very annoying. InJapan,itis considered good public manners towearperfumeonly tothe extent thatitisonly faintly fragrant or faintly scented.
Some peoplemay want to useperfume to controlbody odor. Even inJapan,body odoris an importantissue, especially during the hot and humidsummer months.
The singlemost important measure againstbody odor inJapanis to keep thebodyclean.Take a bathat leastonce a day, or twice if necessary. Thisis the norm inJapan, a country blessed with abundant water resources.
In addition,paper wet-sheets for wiping perspiration are sold everywhere, includingconvenience stores and pharmacies. They are a necessity duringJapan's dangeroussummers.
In short, the important thingis toget rid ofbody odor. Ifyoutry to coverit up with a stronger smellingperfume,youwill be dislikedby theJapanese.
