Take the plane, the simple Japanese things make you surprised

It seems that this Japanese habit does not only appear when traveling on an airplane or sitting on a subway train.

Whenever flying, especially long flights, after taking off, we often have the habit of leaning back on the plane to be able to sit comfortably.

However, if you go on a flight with many Japanese people and take a little bit of observation, you will find that they often do not lean on their seats when flying. Why is that?

They do not want to just because of their benefits and comfort, but affect those around them, especially those sitting behind their backs.
