Personally, I found a lot of systems to be a little behind regarding UX/CX in Japan.

Clearly once great and really ahead, but a little dated, by modern expectations.

The phrase “Japan has been living in the future since the future since the 80s” comes to mind. For a country so deeply rooted in the technological revolution of the last 50 years, it certainly doesn’t feel like it when your there. It’s a weird mix of culture, history, and a deeply capable people hamstrung by economic forces.

Even great Japanese corporations like Nintendo and Sony make it a lot harder for them to take my money than, say, Steam and Amazon.
