Why Japanese People Stay Silent on Public Transport?

Have you ever noticed how eerily quiet Japanese trains and buses are, even when they’re packed? No loud conversations, no phone calls, no music blasting—just silence.

This isn’t just about manners—it’s deeply tied to Japanese values of respect, harmony and personal space. In Japan, speaking loudly in public—especially on transportation—is seen as disruptive and inconsiderate. People believe in not disturbing others' peace, especially in confined, shared spaces.

Many commuters use this time to rest, read, or simply relax. That's why you’ll often see people sleeping on trains—it’s not laziness, it’s part of the daily rhythm and trust in society.

Phones are kept on silent mode (even called manner mode), and most people avoid even voice calls unless absolutely necessary.

This quiet culture might feel unusual at first, but it’s something many people around the world appreciates once they experience it—especially in noisy cities.
