Aisatsu（挨拶）or Greetings. Make sure to properly greet your office when you get to the office and when you're leaving. Here are a list of greetings:

• Ohayou gozaimasu - "Good morning."
• Konnichiwa - "Hello." Usually used after noon.
• Konbanwa - "Good evening." Used in the evening.
• Osaki ni shitsureishimasu - "Excuse me for leaving before you." Used when you're leaving the office before your coworkers.
• Otsukaresama deshita - "You worked hard." Say this when someone is leaving the office while you're still working.

Be on time. Be at least 5 minutes early to work, class, or meetings.

Dress to impress. Unless it's Sport's Day or school cleaning day, dress professionally. No sweatpants or jeans. No revealing clothing. You don't have to wear a suit everyday, but during special occasions such as Opening Ceremony, Graduation, and Closing Ceremony, you should be wearing a proper suit. For every day attire, look at your coworkers. Some people will be wearing tracksuits, but you should be aiming for the middle upper end of the pack in terms of dressing. If you have a support teacher at your school, try looking to them for how someone in your position should be dressing. Basing it off of your JTE isn't a bad idea, either.

The art of gift-giving (omiyage). Omiyage is an obligatory gift when someone returns from a trip. Follow these tips when before purchasing omiyage:

• Buy something a group can share. Most omiyage in Japan comes with a lot of small, individually packaged sweets or snacks. This is a great way to be sure that the group can share.
• Ask someone where to put the omiyage. You can either leave it in a communal area or place it on each teacher's desk.
• Buy something consumable.
• Buy a regional speciality.
• Make sure it's not too cheap or expensive. 1000 yen - 5000 yen is a good range.
• You don't have to buy omiyage EVERY time you travel, especially if you travel a lot. But it's good to bring some back after big breaks and big trips.
