When I visited Japan in 2006, my host family's car had that built-in screen with a 3D representation of the car and road map, something that didn't become commonplace in my own country until like 10 years later.

I also appreciate how clean and orderly it is; trains are never late, you never see graffiti or litter, very different to my city where there's mess everywhere and public transport is constantly late.

I know Japan has plenty of issues of its own, but in my time there it did feel like they had their shit together much better than here in Australia.
