What's some amazing technology they have in Japan that's very normal to them but would blow our minds here in the US and western world?

I heard Japan described as being "stuck in the year 2000 since the 1980's". I think South Korea fits the original question better than Japan nowadays.

Yeah, Japan had a massive tech boom in the 80s and 90s, but then just kinda stopped growing that field. It's still there and still a strong industry in Japan, but the cultural tech hype isn't there anymore, it seems.

I think Shanghai/China fits it even better. The convenience and technological advances are moving crazy fast.
