Public Affection. In America it is not uncommon to give your wife a peck on the cheeks or lips in public. To Japanese it’s embarrassing.

Japanese men are very chauvinistic, and American men aren't.

Americans are much more laid back. Most Japanese are a little up-tight.

I can add more to the list, but me and my wife are still learning and have a long way to go to bridge are cultural differences.
