Yesterday, I was in
Osaka
Station, and let me tell you what happened. I was standing on
the left side of an escalator when I noticed that many people were staring at me as they
passed by. Then, one of them asked me, "Are you from
Tokyo
?" and pointed behind me.
As I looked back, I realized that I was blocking a long line of people who were in a hurry.
How did he know I came from
Tokyo
?
I suppose that you are talking about the etiquette of making room for people who are in a
hurry on an escalator. In Japan, there are three different conventions: "stand on the left" in the
Kant
-
area, "stand on the right" in the
Kansai
area, and either way in other areas. There are
many differences between
Kant
-
and
Kansai
areas, such as frequency of electricity and
seasoning for food. I guess "which side to open" is another of those differences.
膟 The following classification shows the typical convention in each area.膟
膟 Let me tell you some useful phrases using the words
"right" and "left."膟
