Japanese are very focused on being polite. Try to be polite and patient.
Learn a few words, especially around politeness, please (dozo), thank you (domo arigato), excuse me (sumimasen), I'm sorry (gomenasai).

Exactly. Also, do not be the ignorant tourist that is disrespectful of their culture. This pretty much goes for everywhere you visit. You are a guest, please act accordingly.
