There are two major differences that I've seen in Japan that America hasn't embraced. One being that even though there are cars, public modes of transportation seem to be more popular. The other difference being that karaoke is very different from the average karaoke bar in America.
Trains in Japan are incredibly popular, you should see the 5 o'clock trains, they're always standing room only. Another difference being that areas around the station are actually seem to be quite high priority areas for shops, foods, bus stops, and taxis. Also, buses are more popular than in America.
Karaoke is a favorite of many Japanese and tourists. In America there are karaoke bars: however, going to a Japanese karaoke room, a group of people go together and get a room for the group, whereas the karaoke bars are just a stage. I think the Japanese karaoke rooms have a less intimidating feeling.
These are two interesting topics with lots of potential for discovery. Perhaps you should have chosen one and given more detailed information. Quality over quantity is better in these posts.
