What cultural faux pas should I try to avoid making in Hiroshima?

"When visiting Hiroshima, it's important to respect the local customs and traditions to avoid any cultural faux pas. Firstly, avoid making jokes or insensitive comments about the atomic bombing, as it is a tragic event in the city's history. When visiting the Peace Memorial Park and Museum, behave respectfully as these are places of remembrance. Loud conversations, inappropriate attire, and disrespectful behavior are not appreciated. In Japanese culture, it's considered rude to eat or drink while walking in public. It's better to sit down in a restaurant or café. Avoid tipping in restaurants or taxis, as it's not a common practice in Japan and can be seen as insulting. When using chopsticks, don't stick them vertically into your food, especially rice, as it's associated with funerals. Also, don't pass food from chopstick to chopstick, as this is another funeral tradition. In Japan, it's customary to bow when greeting someone. A handshake might be accepted in a business setting, but it's safer to stick with a bow. Avoid blowing your nose in public, as it's considered impolite. If you need to blow your nose, it's better to do it in private. Lastly, always remove your shoes when entering someone's home or certain traditional establishments, as it's a sign of respect," said another expat in Hiroshima, Japan.
