Firstly, it’s probably the most racist country I’ve ever seen. It is not at all uncommon for people to rush on to a packed train, see that I’m a gaigin and head for another seat or stand up rather than sit next to me. The kind of racism I’m talking about is not overt but just accepted. We - by which I mean all foreigners - are second class to them.
Then there is the insincerity of the Japanese in business. Forget all this honour stuff, there is none. They will happily screw you over the first chance they get. They are a very insincere race and, frankly, not very trustworthy.
Then there is this myth of the Japanese being the politest people in the world - rubbish! I have seen more rude and inconsiderate behaviour in this country than anywhere I have ever been - and I am very well traveled. OK, if you go into a restaurant or shop, the service is always good and they always have a smile on their face...but this is them making money. Again, very insincere.
Then, they are just really weird. Every other night, there is a story on TV about someone chopping his sister up and putting her in plastic bags in the bottom of their wardrobe or a wife killing her husband and carrying his head on the train to dump it somewhere. Trust me, they are sick.
To be honest, I don’t understand why you are all so fascinated with this place. I promise you, you would not feel this way if you lived here.
...Public transport is awesome, though.

the way i see it, if they leave their seat it saves you the trouble of standing up or finding a seat. especially on a train. i was on the subway in mexico city, the time i went on it it was packed. some dude tried to grab some womans ass,lol. she got mad and start yelling at him alot. we had to stand the hole 45 minutes we were on that thing.
for restaurants , at least they smile for you. if all they wanted was your money they probably wouldnt have. the people where i live are CRAZY in all sense of the word. you try to order food they drop your plate on the table and just walk away. they people cleaning up , act pissed off because there cleaning up plates from tables.
also murders like that happen everywhere. my dads friends girlfriend dragged him from his apartment tied his foot to the back of her truck and dragged him for about a mile before the rope broke. all along the road there were blood stains and hand prints. they found a small mountain with over 30 bodies buried in it.
