    As a Japanese person, this is quite accurate.
    Toxic work culture.
    Oppressive, paternalistic society where if you step outside of your lines for good or for bad you will be shamed into oblivion.
    Earthquakes (you get used to them).
    Ultimate conservatism plaguing the government.
    Regional neglect and over-concentration of wealth in a few cities, leading to skyrocketing cost of living.
    Declining birth rates, emptying countrysides, and high suicide rates all because the government refuses to actually address the issue (like their war crimes).
    But hey, look here! Anime! Speedy, on-time trains! High tech toilets that will make your butt sparkle! Safety where police officers devolve to NPC's!

      Japanese people are very disciplined towards Tourist. When I visited Japan a while ago someone puked at the Asakusaba(Hope i spelled it right) metro and there were guards surrounding it so no one would step on it by mistake. It was very new to me and one thing that I noticed was people were on their phones even while walking it's probably b cuz of their bad working hours.

    Let me give you a take on immigrant life in Japan:
    Cons:
    - Sometimes racism happens with housing. True.
    - Sometimes some tech is so ahead and some so behind.
    - Work culture can be toxic, as my wife has experienced.
    Pros:
    - If you like polite, considerate people, people here are incredibly friendly. Especially as you get out of Tokyo.
    - Environment is generally clean, lots of nature, and transport is convenient.
    - Don't talk about politics or sensitive topics, or simply don't care so much to just always randomly shove their opinions down your throat. Like, it's okay to like something without being criticized!
    - Food is great. Not many complaints.
    - Lots of little things. I bought a TV for mega cheap on JMTY the other day, and the couple literally carried it all the way to my place like 20 minutes away. And then they invited me to see their Taiko drum performance. I really like the people.
    People need to stop idealizing Japan, but I'd encourage people to try living here for at least a few months to get a feel for day to day life. I actually prefer the day to day life over the tourism and fun places. It's kind of fun to just take a nice little walk over to a convenience store nearby to grab some late night snacks, or go to a local gym. Things that don't necessarily feel unique to Japan, but just feels quaint and peaceful. Bonus if you can find a good job or be self employed. Easier said than done, but this is my home. That's how I feel. And I feel welcomed.

      There’s more people that criticize others for idolizing the nation than there are those that idolize it.
      On any video discussing foreigners in Japan you’ll see “it’s a great place to visit, but not to live”. As if the only metric for standard of living is how well it matches up to America or EU nations. It disregards the idea that Japanese can live happy, fulfilling lives. Or alternatively that foreigners cannot lead happy lives in the country due to issues they themselves have never experienced and have only heard about through the nebulous grapevine.
      There are downsides and caveats to the country. This is undoubtable, but that is true for *every nation on Earth* like you said. But much like the US, people discuss issues in Japan without ever having visited or lived in the country and therefore just talk out of their ass.

    Edit: my bad it's not UNESCO heritage sites that it had the most of. It's 11nth. However something traveller's will point out is that pretty much everything is some sort of regionally culturally protected thing (each city and province has dozens of unique dishes, sites, places, crafts, festivals etc) that rhe government protects)

      I've been there, my cousin lives and works there full-time, and it's just mid.
      It's not bad, but it's not the heaven that these internet weebs chalk it up to be.
      Pay is good, food is great, nice scenery and architecture, but otherwise it's just meh. It feels empty, living conditions are shit, paper thin walls in which the neighbours will scream at you if you make the slightest noise, and people are polite but almost never kind.

    1:30 We have Moonies in the UK, too. My friend's parents were part of a mass wedding in South Korea and her family still practices. South Korea is probably where the biggest concentration of followers is since that's where it began.
