    Japanese work culture honestly sucks, I would never want to.live in Japan because of this.

    You can find Western companies and semi-westernized Japanese companies where the work culture is better.

      Yes, but in Japan the large majority of businesses are Japanese, and most conform to the expected conditions of underpaying or not paying for overtime (“voluntary overtime”), etc.

      Just like there can be some companies that do the same thing in the USA, though it is not.common because there are laws specifically to prevent that.
