oh yes, people are sooooo friendly Japanese peopple in general are extremely friendly, but no one can resist a cute baby Funny story.. on the train trip home we were jammed in like sardines and all of the seats were filled. An older lady tapped me on the shoulder and pointed at a middle aged gentleman who was sitting in one of the seats. Without a moments hesitation the man stood up and gestured for me to take his seat. It was so sweet

I have always been treated extremely well here.
