Japan is the best case of modern slaverly in a rich country.

Drilled to be the best since pre kindergarden age till university and after that a full day job with almost no holiday, well paid but you don't do much beside doing your job (the average salary man works all day, on weekends too).

Almost nobody opens their own business there, everybody is bred to be employed and that's their mentality too.

I don't wonder why so many people commit suicide there.
Have you ever been in Japan? I spend 3-4 months a year there and I know plenty of people that have their own businesses... big and small. In the last 10 years a lot of things changed and especially many younger people have different goals in life now.

Of course, their system/society is not perfect but which one is?

Also, Japanese have about as many leave days paid as people in the US and they have a lot of national holidays on top (even more than we have in Germany and we have a lot).
