If you get the opportunity to watch NatGeo's, Japan Between Earth and Sky, do so. It's a beautiful country.

May be the most polite people on the planet.

tJapanese are such a wonderful people. My brother just married a Japanese woman (native) and their demeanor is so calm and relaxed. Plus, they love ‘Murica but still hold on to traditional Japanese values.

I’m sure there are plenty of nice things about it, but I’m not going to fetishize the le glorious Nippon where they would rather lust after underage cartoon women to the point of dying off and everything is just so kawaiiii. Maybe that and all the sideways gash walking around makes some people feel like they have a chance, but then as a trade off you have a henpecking wife and ugly hapa nowag children with your last days being in a suicide forest. I’m still glad I live in burgerland.

Over the decades, Japan has moved farther away from capitalism and embraced more socialism, and their economy has suffered for it.

I pity Japan.

It does sound pretty comfy doesn't it? Goes to show what you can achieve when you protect your borders.

I work for a Japanese company.

The country has its charms, but overall it is really a depressing place.

Japan is not allowed to have an offensive army according to their constitution post WW2. I guess that's a good thing for the rest of us.

The problem with Japan is real estate prices. That's why they don't have as many nice golf courses as China.

Japan is my second home, specifically Oita-Ken Kyushu. I love the Japanese “ inaka-country-rural” life. Very simple. A wonderful daily ethic that has a purity and simplicity that I miss.

The one area where we beat the living shite out of Japan is ENERGY. I do not mean oil. I mean Individual energy and enthusiasm for life that most young Americans exude. We are supa-genki. They envy us for our excitement for life and adventure and innovation . We envy them for their VISION of who they are. They understand themselves and they make no apologies while we are gripped by never-ending Progressive AgitProp that weakens us by design.

None of those things are true.
Japan has been struggling with a stagnant economy for 20 years.
They have some of the highest rates of suicide in the world with an aging population.
Their young people have essentially stopped even trying to date or have children because cost of living is so expensive.
It’s a fun place to visit, but the people who live there are super depressing.
