To be fair, I think that's kind of a racist thing to say
While I agree that overall there is less crime in Japan, and there is a more intense focus on the group over the individual there as compared to a place like the US, it's hardly accurate to call Japan an "impeccably honorable country."

There's governmental corruption, too.
Yakuza: Japan's criminal underworld - Google Books The LDP, one of the biggest political parties in Japan, has non-trivial ties to organized crime. I don't feel like digging up evidence of this right now, but I don't expect anyone who knows about Japan to argue the Japanese government is flawless. Even at university in Japan, we discussed the historical mob connections the LDP has. (not that either of the major parties in the US is any cleaner, historically speaking!)
