Bizarre. Most everything in their culture is (to western mindsets) either mind-blowingly awesome, or mind-numbingly horrifying. There seems to be no middle ground.
Japan is where 7/10 of the worlds' weird shit comes from.

An over-rated, over-populated country, roughly the size of California, with far less habitable land. Geographically, it lies off the north-eastern coast of China, and has a few climate zones, namely the foothills and mountains, and the plains and forests. It is an archipelago, consisting primarilly of 5 main islands - Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu, and Okinawa. Furthermore, roughly 75% of the land in Japan is unsuitable for most everything.
The culture is similar to the Chinese, for Japan consists heavily of immigrants of the various Chinese kingdoms, who ventured there prior to the Mongol invasion of modern-day China, circa 1210. Due to this, the language and religions are fundamentally similar, spare Shinto. The language is written as katakana, or kanji, both of which are very much like Chinese caligraphy. The religions practiced are, by large, Shinto and Buddhism. They have a heavy reliance on technology, like the US and EU, and are on the frontier of technology, also like the US and EU. Japanese people often take pride in their medieval past, where feudal dynasties employed mercaneries, called samurai - who often had a strict honor code - to fight eachother. There is also a fairly high population of closet pedophiles.
Art consists of music, the classical Japanese style which uses percussion and wood wind instruments, and J-Pop, which is a shitty cousin to the equally bad American and European pop music. The visual arts are oft comprised of anime and manga, which are animated cartoons, and comic books, respectively. The styles of which are generally generic, along with much of the content. These are characterized, usually, by fairly simple, talentless art, shitty dialog, poor humor, and exaggerated or inaccurate violence and anatomy.
Economically, it is third in total GDP, behind China and the United States of America, respectively. They are close allies with the US, politically, diplomatically, and economically. Their biggest export and import partner is the US, who imports agricultural products into Japan, along with raw materials, chemicals, some electronics, and manufacturing equipment. Japan then exports automobiles, electronics, and such to the US.

Japan, while a fairly good country, isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Japan is a costal country with many small islands located in the east. It is the ultimate source of hentai, child porn, incese, tentacle rape, AV (porn where women with high squeky voice), where women get groped if they are not careful and a place where you need to have a license to ride a bike(huh? what the ....). A place with high suicide rate too ! ( Thats why their nerds watch so much anime and play so much computer games to delude themselves , to escape reality) PLus, they allow secreat socirties to exist!
It is heaven for the perverts all over the world !
