Yes — Greeting the neighbors when you move in. In Japan, it is still common to greet your new neighbors soon after moving in. People often bring a small gift, such as towels or sweets, and say a short "Yoroshiku onegai shimasu" (please be kind to me). Japanese Talk adds a short culture note like this on the lines that need one.
