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?

A mindset of quality.

CNC Machines that are built in Japan are so much more better than their 'Made in America' counterparts. Even under the same company name.

Visit any shop that requires quality around the world and you'll see Japanese made machines almost everywhere.

I remember touring a Harley Davidson factory in Milwaukee and noticing that, while the tour guide continued to repeat the "made in America" mantra, all the machine tools were either Japanese or German.

A place I worked had a noodle machine made in Japan. The manufacturer had us send noodles to them from our shop in the US to ensure the machine was working properly and that our noodles were good, I had never heard of any other sort of company doing that. Where I work now has top quality machinery and they are mostly made in Japan.
