The difference is in Japan you'll get taken advantage of with a smile and good service, while in western countries it'll be yelling and a headache.
Westerners get fucked in Japan and then it takes them like 3 hours to realize it happened lol.
I swear to you the people are the same, the assholes are equal in number, the good people are too, the frugal businessmen also, all of it, seriously.
You're setting yourself up for a massive disappointment if you go to Japan expecting otherwise.
edit: as long as you're only dealing with the facade, which is a lot heavier in Japan than in any western country I've visited, then yes it does seem like Japan is a far more civil place.

How can I get disaopointed if I already know who they are? I've spend 6 months only traveling with Asians from Japanese to Koreans to Chinese people and lived with these poeple on the smallest places and even had the most intense realationship I ever had with a girl from Thailand.
I know that they are very different and this is what makes me feel attached to these lovely people. everywhere there are black sheeps and perhaps I was just lucky meeting the most lovely Asians you could ever met. Just luck? Impossible!!!
Asians are that way and they might not scream at you or tell you that they don't like you right in your face or discriminate you like Western would do. They might built up a facade behind there face just to save there face. And this is where it all starts. This is an attribute which is not negative at all throughout my eyes. The way Western handle those situations are a lot more negative to me, but thats because I am different, thats the reason why I feel that I belong in this society and not here. I just happen to be born here, thats all!
I won't ever be disapointed when I visit Japan or Korea cause I already know what I will experience. MAybe I am just compeltely ignorant in your mind, however I know what I experienced and I know what to expect. I do know that!
