Of course there are bad things in Japan. But it is to a large extent relative to where you are coming from. In my case I dont like the food because my own country the US has the best food in the world. And Im not referring to the type of food that originates in America but rather the variety, availability and price. Back home I used to eat a lot of good Thai, Vietnamese, Iranian and Tex-Mex food, but here that stuff is sparse and overpriced. Also the variety of sports drinks are lame. Most of them are this sweet grapefruit flavor. I miss the 50 flavors of gatorade in the States.

I dont like the weather either because it is too cold in winter and too hot and humid in summer. Again it cant compare to the moderate climate of southern California.

Everything else is okay though. Whatever I dont agree with I try to avoid or ignore, but sometimes I just deal with it. The pluses more than make up for the minuses.

I think the most important thing is to just accept Japan for what it is and make the most of it. Even if it is not the same as home, or didnt meet your initial expectations.
