"Omotenashi" in the Red Light District
"Omotenashi" (おもてなし) is a cultural concept that the Japanese are deeply proud of. While difficult to translate directly into other languages, it pertains to attentiveness toward small details when dealing with customers in the service industry. Often, it is most visibly displayed in the meticulous training Japanese personnel receives on what kind of languages and gestures to use under what circumstances when speaking to clients , as well as the little things Japanese restaurants and hotels use, such as tools and signage, to make customer feel comfortable and convenient while dining.
