I feel like putting in some effort to learn greetings and how to address people would help significantly when visiting Japan.

    Based on anime I know that if you don’t want to sound like a cringey weeb, the two best ways to greet people are “kisama” and/or “teme”

    Ah yes. In addition, it's only polite to refer to yourself as "ore," and a true gentleman will also refer to everyone with the -chan suffix.

    Just act like an ass and tell people you're American. Works best if you're not American.

    -in Tokyo

    “Speak English! We kicked your asses for a reason!”

    Works best if you’re obviously not American
