I'd think Japan of all places would have voluminous quantities of antibacterial soap in public restrooms?

  AFAIK regular soap, used correctly, is enough in most cases.

  Using antibacterial soap might be a systemic problem because it disrupts the bacterial ecosystem in our skin.

    I agree; I didn't mean to suggest it should be used. I just meant that my expectation would be something on one extreme rather than the other.

      I mean, if people overuse it, wouldn't it be expected to lead to more resistant and nasty infections on the long run?

  My experience with Japan was that it was simultaneously more and less advanced than you expect. There's a lot of juxtapositioning of {future}{past}, oftentimes within inches of each other.
