ここは右側だよ。急ぐ人のために左側を空けておくのがルールなんだ。
ここはみぎがわだよ。いそぐひとのためにひだりがわをあけておくのがルールなんだ。
You stand on the right here. The rule is to leave the left side open for people in a hurry.
Gesture & etiquette
Point to the right side of the escalator with your hand.
Do not stand on the left side, as it is strictly reserved for people walking up or down the escalator.
