Even kids in Japan don't have much freedom compared to other countries tbh. After school, they are forced to go to a club and stay there for an hour. Then after that, they have to go to a Juku until 9 because how they do in their final exams depends on what college they get into which determines the type of job they get for the rest of their life, not dissimilar to the Gao-Kao exam in China.

Unlike 30 years ago, most Japanese office workers now work 40 hour work weeks especially in the big corporations. Even in the big cities, why do the trains get packed the most around 6pm??? Restaurants and the bars were packed as well around that time. Japan is more like a country where people work hard and party hard creating continuously a new culture.

Except its a legitimate question, as it appears he only really does a few hours of actual productive work a week. The rest is really just wasted. I'm on a team of efficiency consultants for struggling businesses, and this entire business model is fundamentally flawed. For many industries, we are now in fact encouraging work from home programs utilizing telepresence technology, with only important necessary meetings between staff with a clear defined agenda illustrated by powerpoint presentations that are archived on the cloud for later reference and construction and maintenance of a knowledge-base that makes integrating newhires much more fluid. We've found that through proper management and business model, each employee's measured productivity increases an average of 3 times while the employees are also happier and less stressed because even though they feel like they are doing less, they are actually doing more because hours of commuting time, useless meetings, too many managers compared to subordinates, etc. is taken out of their schedules. We also encourage a 4-day workweek with 10 hour shifts, with clearly defined KPIs for defining and measuring an employees productivity so that they don't waste time "looking busy" for appearances sake, and just ensure they get their work done and are also competing with their peers on the quarterly KPI review to see how they rank.

@@dk4529 Most employees are happier to have the extra day off, while still achieving a 40 hour productive work week. The ultimate goal after all is profitability for shareholders in a highly competitive global landscape, and you will have to compete with the Chinese and Koreans working 70+hours at lower wages. 10 hours is also not as much as you may think, as its 7AM to 6PM, which is early enough and late enough for peak congestion to die down for those unable to telework. For those that can telework which is the preference whenever possible, the average hour travel time to and from the office is replaced with actual productivity. In exchange, every weekend is a three day weekend allowing more fruitful passtimes like traveling. We encourage a "work hard, play hard" mentality, so employees can party hardy all day Friday and Saturday if desired and take Sunday as a day for relaxation and recovery.

It’s true that mass murder does appear to be more common in the USA, however taken as a whole, the murder rates in poorer countries are much much higher. The culture in Japan seems to be much more introverted and focused on honour, so instead of killing each other, they prefer to kill them selves.

Jim D Well, a few things I should touch on. First of all a majority of Japanese live with their parents well into their late 20s as oppose to moving out at 18 which is common in the west. Don’t know the reason for them living with with their parents for that long especially since a lot of times their financially independent. Only about 50% of Japanese own cars. That’s due to the fact that japan is a public transportation heavy country. A big chunk of the budget goes into PT. So commuting to work via train is extremely common. When I went to study in Osaka, driving to Tokyo took about 5 hours as oppose to taking a train there which was about 3 hours. So pt is quicker in a lot of cases. Last point is a lot of Japanese are single. Having a love life just isn’t Japan’s ball game for some reason. It does correlate to their low birth rate. In fact it’s very common to be a virgin well into your twenty’s. I think about 25% of Japanese 30 year olds are virgins too. So all that correlates somewhat to maybe why Makoto doesn’t have a partner Don’t be mistaken. This is a very common lifestyle for id say about 3/4 of japan’s population

Also- a culture of after work drinking booze with the bosses and apparently you CANT decline if you do you’ll get fired down the road I couldn’t live like that .

Japanese people are big on etiquette and respect but they're aware of other cultures. They won't expect you to know everything, and what's interesting is that even though the culture is like 10x as nuanced I found they never really get grumpy at foreigners who don't know stuff. You're a guest after all. You might get a firm slap on the knee by an old Japanese grandma if you accidentally break a rule (learned that the hard way,) but that's just part of the experience! Number one tip I'd say is just don't be 'loud.' Like both in terms of volume and 'loud' actions. It's just not in keeping with the way society works. Oh and treat everything you touch like it's someone's prized possession.

@@shervinnasrin2829 I believe "insulting" was the right word? As in: doing something that might rub people the wrong way without even knowing because you don't know all the unwritten rules in the country you're visiting. Or was my grammar off?

This proves how Japan isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. The workers are literally worked to breaking point. The problem is they are too polite and bottle up all that stress. Would love to see a Japanese company that allows a bit of overtime but doesn’t make staff go out drinking every night or doing extra unpaid tasks after work.

Makoto seems like a great person, would love to hear his life goals and perception of level of happiness
