In the 1980s, going to Japan really did feel like stepping into the future. A decade later, it didn't so much. There are still neat things you see only in Japan, but you can say that about a lot of countries. As a traveler/worker in Japan over many years, I am so tired of hearing from that kind of visitor who idolizes their limited idea of the society, regards anime/manga as Japan's most significant fine arts, and refers to all Japanese as "-san" even when speaking English.
