Is Eating Alone in Japan REALLY That Common? #japantravel #traveljapan #shorts
In Japan, a table for one isn’t lonely. It’s a quiet little celebration for yourself. Step into any ramen shop or cozy restaurant and you’ll see solo diners savoring every bite. No rush, no noise, just peace and good food. They call it ohis sama, a respectful way to say party of one. It’s not sad, it’s self-care, a cultural embrace of doing things solo with calm, confidence, and intention. You sit at the counter, the chef places a bowl or plate before you like a quiet gift. Steam rises, flavors speak, and across the counter, someone else is doing the same. The restaurant owner might even strike a conversation with you just to see how your day is going. Here, you can dine alone and still feel part of something. It’s what makes solo travel in Japan a joy. Freedom without the awkwardness. I came alone, but I left with a satisfied heart, full belly, and even a new friend. Like, subscribe, and join me as we explore Japan. [Music]

No, this is very sad. Party of one is an oxymoron. Soon there won’t be any Japanese people left to share their wonderful culture with us.
