Japanese buildings also are massively lacking in emergency exits. Almost no building would pass US safety codes or even come close to it.

This does not sound right. On the contrary, I have always seen emergency exits in Japanese buildings.

Where did you come up with this? Japan has incredibly strict safety regulations and building codes.

The place I work at is about the same size as this office and only has one exit (and that's the main door). Many of the facilities I visit for work are similarly lacking.

Maybe the US really goes over the top, but there are plenty of places where I'd feel pretty screwed if some sort of disaster occurred.
