Japan folk have got to be the most polite, most friendly, most helpful people on the planet. Firstly, every person in every shop will welcome you as you enter and with a smile also. As you leave you get the same good will.
If you pop into a place asking directions or wanting to know when the metro trains finish, they will not just try to answer your question, they will pull the map out, draw directions, we even had people pulling metro times off the internet. We barely get that from metro services most other places.
This is not restricted to people in shops etc, one old guy took us on the metro and walked us to our connecting stop. He approached us as he thought we may be having trouble with the rail system. People will always at least try to help you here. I haven’t experienced rudeness yet. People will always give you way as you pass (even cars most of the time).
