General things that might shock someone about Japan (especially if they were sent there, rather than being exposed to it for years through pop culture and choosing to move).
-Nickel and Dime mentality
-Exuberant costs involved
-Attention to detail (this isn't always good)
-Packed trains (and everything else)
-Queuing for everything
-Ridiculously long work week
-The awesomeness of no last call or regulations on when alcohol can/can't be sold
-"This is Japan"
-Unbending of almost any rule
-Stuff actually being turned into the lost and found
-Lack of crime
There's a really long corporate list.
