The unfamiliar usually is, especially when you aren’t there to experience the less obvious negative aspects of a given culture.
Outside of Japan, Japanese culture often gets put on a pedestal but it of course isn’t without its own issues that aren’t apparent to outsiders viewing from a distance.
Hahaha! I'm from Japan, but I totally agree. Honestly, I often find other cultures even more charming in many ways.

Zabkas are no match to the experience of Lawson, 7-11, etc.
