1) In Japan, eating etiquette includes leaving some food on your plate to indicate you are finished, making slurping noises with noodles to show you enjoy the food, and not eating until the host offers food. 2) Japanese etiquette places importance on proper greetings, gift giving, business meetings, and bathing etiquette which involves washing outside the bath and relaxing in communal baths. 3) Body language etiquette in Japan differs from Western customs, as the Japanese may smile when feeling negative emotions, prefer more personal space, and follow status hierarchies in seating and gift giving.
