1. Discovering the Art of Hospitality in Japan and Italy

Japan and Italy have their own unique approach to hospitality. Both cultures are renowned for their warmth and hospitality – while there are similarities, each culture has its idiosyncrasies.

Japan holds hospitality in high regard, and believes that graciousness and politeness takes precedence over comfort. The hosts will go out of their way to accommodate guests by preparing food to suit their needs, or their guest’s customs, like providing a television in the room is standard. Guests are also expected to show respect for the host’s home by taking off their shoes and following the house rules, while hosts will provide guests with thoughtful gifts like souvenirs or sweets.

In Italy, hospitality is more about familiarity. A visitor can expect to have a more relaxed stay where the hosts are more open with their guests, and feel like family. In contrast to the politeness of Japan, Italian hospitality is often more direct and embodies a sense of warmth. Italian hosts will usually be more hands-on in accommodating their guests, and often serve more delicious home-cooked meals with good quality ingredients.
