Most of the people here are Japanophiles, and if not living there already, at least want to travel there at some point. I thought it could be helpful for those of us that have yet to go to hear all the different angles beforehand so we know what to expect.
Nothing I've read so far on my own has swayed me, and I doubt anything will, but I am glad to know. For example I read that hospitals close at night and on weekends, which seems crazy to me as a westerner. Most places don't have central heating, and anywhere outside of Tokyo is shockingly low-tech (correct me if any of this is misinfo).
For those living there, is there anything like this that took some getting used to, or you wish you would've known before going?
