One of several Japanese customs that display particular deference to guests and the elderly is the order in which people sit at the table or elsewhere. The place of honor goes to the guest or oldest person present etc. and the lowest seats to the hosts, young and so on. The top seats are the quiet ones furthest from the doorway, where there is least disturbance from other people moving around. The bottom seats are by the door. There is also a seating order in cars. In a taxi or chauffeur-driven car, the top seat is the one behind the driver and the front passenger seat ranks lowest. In the case of facing seats on a train, the top seat is the one by the window facing forwards and the rear-facing aisle seat is the bottom one.
