Visitors Are Expected To Bring Gifts

As in some other countries throughout the world, visitors are expected to bring a gift with them when they're being hosted in a Japanese home. This gift must also be wrapped. In addition, there are a couple of other customs around gifts that visitors must be aware of in Japan. Unlike in other situations, where someone may initially try and reject a gift, hosts must accept gifts as soon as they're offered.
