Don't forget to include a healthy dose of xenophobia, so that you'll feel unwanted and ostracized anywhere you go. Add some fascism too, lots of people there love it.
If you're waiting for a xenophobia-free society with no right-wing nationalist presence before you're allowed to say something nice about a place, I'm afraid the only place we're allowed to praise is the moon.
I'm just putting some gray on your rose-tinted idealized Japan. No need to be so defensive about it. And it's hardly the only place that what I said applies, plenty of places in Europe are like that, or on the fast track to become like that.
