There are some behaviors by foreign nationals visiting Japan that they would like to curb.

The Daily Mail reported:

Welcome to Japan. Please do not burp, fart, or soil public toilets. 

These are just three unwanted habits a Japanese tourism board has highlighted in a brochure in a bid to stop holidaymakers behaving badly when visiting.

The article includes pages from the guide on proper etiquette while in Japan.
