Have you watched the video "12 Things NOT to do in Japan”? 
As a Japanese man, I must say this video is very accurate, and I can recommend it to anyone coming to Japan!

But… although the things introduced in this video ARE true, most of them, we Japanese don’t usually ask that much for foreigners.
We eat and drink while walking, and cross streets when the light is still red.

But on the other hand, there are things that only a Japanese would know, on what we don't want foreigners to do.

So today, I’ll introduce "5 things NOT to do in Japan”, from my opinion as a Japanese man that has handled over 60,000 foreign travelers working in the tourism industry.

Because there are only five, I have carefully selected only the ones that I really don't want foreigners to do. 

The first two things come from the original video.
The later three are my original ones, and it gets more and more important towards the end.
