In terms of tv/film/music quality Japan is almost a cultural desert even to Japanese. The industries are pretty stagnant. Japanese have Netflix now and can see the cinematic quality of (some) US tv shows that is beyond anything locally.
But Japan is still widely admired for a good number of iconic cultural exports like food, architecture, games, decorative arts like bonsai, ikebana, martial arts, etc. And every midsize US city has a few ramen restaurants in the past 5-10 years.
