Many people who come to Japan may have the opportunity to live in Kanto Kansai at the same time. At that time, you will find that Kanto and Kansai have many differences in details, and if you don’t know, you may be embarrassed. So, today I have sorted out some differences in life between Kanto and Kansai to facilitate you to "switch freely" back and forth.
First of all, we need to know that in Japan, the two places of Guandong and Kansai, these two places are the two most prosperous hubs in Japan.
Tokyo is the largest city in Kanto, while Osaka is the largest city in Kansai. From living habits to folk customs, the regions represented by the two major cities have huge differences. These two regions are also the places with the most Chinese. There are more than 80,000 Chinese in Kansai and 300,000 Chinese in Kansai.
has a classic example that illustrates the difference between Kanto and Kansai in Japan. Just take a round from Tokyo to Osaka and you will find a strange phenomenon: when taking the rolling elevator, Tokyo people will automatically stand on the left side of the , and leave the right side empty so that anxious people can pass quickly; while Osaka people will stand on the right side of the , and use the left side as a fast passage.
In fact, this difference is quite historical. Since ancient Tokyo was the place where samurai gathered. The sabre warriors quarreled in order to prevent the scabbards from colliding with each other , so they gradually formed the habit of passing on the right. Osaka, businessmen, , usually get used to walking , holding the abacus with the right hand , so it is more convenient to pass on the left. The habits like
have been passed down to this day, and there has been an interesting phenomenon that the direction of the passage on the Kansai and Kanto sledges has been completely different.
In addition, the electricity consumption of Kanto and Kansai is different in Kanto, Japan. Kanto is 50 Hz, but Kansai is 60 Hz. So be careful when using electricity!
When making eel dishes in Kanto and Kansai, the position of the knife is also different. You can pay attention when eating in the future~
Even the bathhouse has a big difference! The large bathhouse in Kanto, Japan is in the innermost part, while Kansai is in the middle. This may be filmed in Japanese dramas, but if you don’t compare it, most people can’t find it.
When it comes to diet, the taste in Kanto area generally needs to be slightly "heavy", while the Kansai area is lighter. Therefore, Kansai people often joke about Kansai people, "How much soy sauce do you need to put in noodles!"
has different flavors, which causes this strong contrast in the colors of the ramen in the two places...
. When the sale area of the same brand of instant noodles changes, Japanese manufacturers will considerately improve it and become ingredients that meet the local taste.
Then after doing it, it looks like this...
(basically I can't tell that it's the same style, okay!)
This sense of difference continues to expand, so in the end, even the style of dim sum is different...
Kanto and Kansai school uniforms are also very different. The biggest difference is that the "-collar " of the two are different. The lower end of the Kanto collar is higher than the bust measurement position, and the lower end of the Kanto collar is lower than the bust measurement position.
Kandong Palm's chest (breast guard) is smaller and can be removed or not. The Kansai Pink Chestguard is very large and cannot be removed. Moreover, the collar of the Kanto collar is narrower than the shoulders, while the collar of the Kanto collar is shoulders wider.
There are also great differences in transportation in the other two places, which are concentrated in the differences between tram . There are a lot of tram advertisements in Kanto, and it is very crowded (there are too many people). In comparison, the trams in Kansai have a more ancient feel.
Kansai and Kanto people have completely different personalities due to their background and geography. The Kanto people look down on the Kanto people and think they are vulgar and stingy. The Kansai people were even more dissatisfied with the Kansai people and mocked them for being pretentious and self-righteous.
The incompatibility of personality also makes the representatives of the two places - Osaka people and Tokyo people - often talk online.
Kansai people like to joke and tell jokes, and they speak loudly and have a strong accent, which sounds bold and concise.
, while Kanto people emphasize gentleness and speak very little. Especially in public places such as trams or subways, Kanto people will be very quiet and hardly hear anyone talking. Therefore, Westerners often say that taking the subway to Kanto feels very bored.
What’s more interesting is that in order to win others’ smiles, Kansai people dare to play tricks on . This makes almost all the most famous comedians in Japan come from the Kansai region. For example, Japan's most famous "Yoshimoto Comedy" is popular in Japan and has become a major base for Japan's "funny" industry, which is very popular.
Which of the differences between Kanto and Kansai makes you feel incomprehensible? If you want to integrate into Japanese life, getting used to local culture is a necessary process~
