I'm moving to Japan soon and I want to learn more about the culture. What are some things I should know?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Japan is a country with a rich culture and history. One thing you should know is that respect for elders is very important. You should also be prepared to remove your shoes before entering homes or some traditional restaurants.<|im_end|>

That's really helpful, thank you. What about gift-giving? I've heard that's a big part of Japanese culture.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Gift-giving, or "Omiyage," is a significant custom in Japan. When giving gifts, make sure they're nicely wrapped and of a modest value. It's also customary to receive a gift with both hands and a slight bow.<|im_end|>

I see. I'll definitely keep that in mind.<|im_end|>
