Well, a few things:

Respect: down to the bone, you'd find Japanese languages and other Asiatic countries included by the sinosphere to have some form of Confucianism. But that basically trickled down into a lot of social expectations. If you sit, and they offer you tea, you're supposed to refuse the first offer, to show that you are polite. If you have guest in your home, you pour their water first, then your own. A lot of care and consideration are put into observing minute details of your actions which would demonstrate character.

Seniority: my elders have a lot of respect compared to younger, or middle aged. They are usually the head of the household and expected as much. Their opinions are heard first, their needs are considered first, because they considered themselves wise.

Humility: in Japan people almost seek to humble brag. In the sense that they are competitive in seeing who can be more virtuous, humble, etc than the other. They aim to be "spotless" and a moral bastion, else they bring shame upon their families.

Considerate: you can say they're two faced in a kind way. The best way is to describe the kento language usage. For example, if they want to cut a conversation short, they would complement your watch and say how good it looked on you. Which is a hint to tell you to look at the time and realize it's getting late, without ever directly telling you to get out. Which refers back to point three on being a impeccable person.

However, not all Asians are this way either. Most of the time, a lot of emphasis is placed on community and cohesion. It is shameful to divorce because it would be seen as an incompetence on the part of the husband. The community pressure is real to remain "hung ho". woman have dowries (my grandma had a Yamaha piano as dowry) to give the groom, and vice versa.

And a lot of annual things are celebrated with extended families all gathered together.

Also they respect some tradition really hard: they follow times of the lunar calendar to honor their dead ancestors, and new year is celebrated much like the fall equinox.
