>>42029Japan is the people and government, as you will be among the people as part of the increasing amount of foreigners and the government who will test you to high standards if you will even be let in. And it is part and parcel, but can you take the blows of being the guy blamed for not disposing his trash properly or being accused of making too much noise or worse. And Japan has one of the most unfair legal systems in the world with a 99% conviction rate and forces you to fight tooth and nail to not get charged and sent prison, you can be detained for 23 days before you can make a phone call. These hypercapitalist societies have as much or almost as much mental illness as communist countries, lots of suicides and reclusive depression, bullying in schools that is harsher than you'd think, South Korea is even worse to the point where some North Koreans say their life was as miserable after a while or fled back.
I'm not telling you to not go, I understand and agree with your sentiment that you should go and see how it is for yourself, I think it's the only good first-world country left and what I like about it are pretty much the same reasons everyone else does, but it's not perfect and people who say they want to go think it's wonderland.
