I have worked with Japanese colleagues and they have told me that the work pressure is extreme in Japan. You are not supposed to make a single mistake, no matter how small it is. You should always deliver your output on time, and it should be of the required quality. It is almost impossible for outsiders to adjust with the Japanese work culture.
High technology requires high accuracy, which leads to stress. I would not want to live there.
Today the whole world Japan rattles because of the huge level of cases of
child suicides. Even the Japanese authorities are very much concerned
about this problem. As reported, this is due to violence in schools.
