There are quite a lot of videos that mention how much Japanese people hate beards. Because of this, I receive a lot of DMs asking me, “Should I shave before going to Japan?”
But since when have Japanese people been uncomfortable with beards and why? Are we even uncomfortable with beards in the first place?
So today, I will first explain the history of beards in Japan. Next, based on this history, I will discuss three main reasons why Japanese people dislike beards.
By watching this video, you can understand that the idea of “Japanese people disliking beards” may actually be inaccurate.
If there is anything else about the Japanese way of thinking that you find puzzling,
please let me know in the comments!
In this channel, you can take a closer look at Japanese traditional culture, tips on traveling to Kyoto, and social problems in Japan. So learners and lovers of Japanese language and culture, be sure to subscribe to enjoy more content!
