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).

Japanese salary men have max. 2 weeks holidays per year normally 1 or less and working 7 days a week.The companies give you holiday days but they don't expect you to use any of them and nobody does use many.
There are small and middle sized businesses but compared to europe that are very less.Most belong to chains or bigger companies and it's almost impossible to get a loan to start your own business.
Japanese society is one of the worst worldwide, all focused on performance and being the best from pre kindergarden age till university and after school on working all day.
