in my opinion , the most fascinating thing about Japan is although the usually has a lot of nature crises like hurricanes, earthquakes and tsunami, but they could pass all difficulties and be one of the most developed countries in the world.
There are many reasons for this. Japan is an ethnically homogeneous country, where there are no disadvantaged ethnic groups (there are the Ainu and the Burakumin, but they are too few in number). Also, the Japanese tend to have long working hours, with the average factory worker toiling for up to 60 hours per week, compared to 30-35 hours per week which is common in the western world. And despite the long working hours, the quality of the Japanese products remain among the best in the world.
