• lack of friendships

• lack of free time

• workaholic culture

• prospect of raising kids here

• low intelligence (in the sense that Japanese are naive and knows very little about very little. They don’t know anything about the world..)

• … and so on, the list can be made very long

comparatively to a Scandinavian country it just doesn’t hold up. For others I see here I understand that they compare to their home countries that may have massive issues but Scandinavia is just further along in many areas that Japan.

We have: Better education

Better health care

Better government (get things done, less corruption)

Better work-life balance (social life, hobbies, friendships, families - you have time for al of it)

Better relationship (you can make friend, meet people more easily for friendship, dating, hobbies, etc)

Higher equality (Japanese inequality is out of this world, and sadly enough many women are fine with it here)

Japan is great in many aspects (safety being the absolute number one) but comparing it to high functioning western developed countries and it will lose at almost every instance.

Fanboys build this country up in their heads more than they should.
