Japanese Don’t Invite Friends to Their Home

Visiting a friend overseas is a significant gesture worldwide, and the warm hospitality displayed by the host friend is a sign of gratitude. However, an invitation to the friend’s family home may not always be included in this hospitality.

In Japan, privacy is highly valued, and most Japanese people prefer to meet friends at a bar or for dinner. It’s essential for foreigners not to take offense if they aren’t invited to their friend’s home.
