Is it bad manners to sit on the aisle on the Shinkansen?
On the Shinkansen non-reserved seats, there are people sitting in seats near the aisle even though the seats near the window are empty.
When the Shinkansen gets crowded, you'll end up sitting next to someone sitting near the aisle.
Regarding this, there are opinions on the Internet that it is "bad manners"
Sometimes the person seated next to the aisle may put their luggage on the seat next to the window or pull out a table to leave things on.
People who sit by the aisle say things like, ``I like sitting by the aisle because it's easier to go to the bathroom,'' or ``I want to sit by the aisle because I get off early.''
To avoid getting into trouble on the Shinkansen, if you want to sit by the window, gently say, "Is the seat by the window available?" and ask the person sitting by the aisle to sit.
