Gaze Aversion

How to Make People Avert Their Gaze in Tokyo

  • Sit on a park bench, read a book and laugh aloud at the funny parts.
  • Walk carefully balanced along the edge of a fountain.
  • Strike poses while perched on a rock or ledge.
  • In the middle of an open plaza, stretch out your arms and spin.

If you do any of the above, people will pretend you are invisible. Guaranteed.
