Passanger on a train.
Description
Many locals are quiet while using public transport, as a way to show respect and to not disturb the peace. This is really important, considering that the main thing I learned through my interviews with people who live(d) there was that you were allowed to do whatever you want, as long as you do it in a way that doesn't disturb the peace. This explains one of the many reasons why locals aren't fond of tourists, because many foreigners will not share the same level of respect in a public space.

There is an overhead speaker where a woman greets the customers in Japanese and gives updates about the locations. You can hear the low, dull, rhytmic thumping of the train moving over the trains tracks and the soft whine as it comes to a stop. There are many English speakers who can be heard speaking, and as soon as they exit the train, a soft, five notes jingle is played the train becomes significantly quieter.
