Japan is not going to torture him, keep him up without letting him sleep are they? They have the rule of law and generally treat people well. You can't seriously compare those countries, can you?

It’s definitely much better than KSA, but 23 days in police custody? Most people would break under the pressure alone - no torture necessary...
Try Sweden... 365 days of policy custody.
There's no limit that I know of.
No, you are correct, there's no limit.
It all depends on the conditions, if you have access to an attorney and are in general safe situations

I would take that than say 1 day in a mexican prison run by the drug cartel

What I heard about treating foreigners in Japanese police stations qualifies indeed as torture. The rule of law applies when you confess.
