Japan and South Korea tap water is safe...and I think it's commonly consumed in Japan. Koreans approach it like Singaporeans..some do, some boil.

- philliphaydon 8y agoI just googled and see Japan tape water is safe to drink. I've been by hotels in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Mt Fuji all told me not to drink the tap water. Hence I thought it wasn't drinkable. Good to know it is! I've never been to South Korea, yet.
- kalleboo 8y ago> I've been by hotels in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Mt Fuji all told me not to drink the tap water. I've traveled all over Japan including those places and others far more rural and never seen that, it sounds really strange. Are you sure it didn't say you can drink the tap water? Maybe in broken Engrish? Only places I've seen in Japan with warnings against drinking tap water is on trains and porta-potties.
- sho 8y agoI don't know which hotels you went to but that is bizarre. All water in Japan is safe to drink and, furthermore, is some of the best drinking water on earth IMO. You probably misunderstood, or perhaps the hotel staff were all sharing the same oddly wrong english handbook...
