The Japanese are really big on conformity. They have certain rules and every one just follows them. The best example I can give to show this is the escalators. Here when you go up an escalator (there are a lot of these in the subways, so grateful) you stand to the left, and if you choose to walk, you walk up the right side.
There is no exception. People cue up in these crazy long lines waiting to ride the escaltor up, and leave the right side open for those who choose to walk. There is usually no line on this side. Go figure! In America, we would all just cram in every available space and push our way to the top if we were in a rush. There is no line cutting here. BIG no no! You go to the back and wait your turn or walk up the right side. I've never seen anything like it.
