Shinto has so many rules: wash your hands a certain ritual way, bow, clap, walk on the side of the path and not the center, (which is reserved for gods), do this, don’t do that. There are a lot of rituals and superstitions.
There are also a lot of signs in Japan in general telling people how to behave in public. They really don’t want you to litter, talk loudly, use your phone, sit or stand.
In just a few minutes I collected these directives. Some are just common sense, but “Don’t touch the pole even if you are injured” probably has a story behind it. The bathroom stalls are covered with instructions. Brenna says every sign is evidence of someone’s stupidity.
This is a very polite and very long reminder not to walk through the station while using your phone.

Reminds me of Singapore. Except in Singapore all those signs have a fine involved. Singapore is a fine City. You get fined for chewing gum, smoking, being too loud… ________________________________
