- Japan has one of the lowest obesity rates in the world

- Japanese people have no hangups about masks and social distancing

- There aren’t quite as many large, touchy feely inter-generational family gatherings as in Italy

- Even if people aren’t strictly following stay-at-home orders, they might have confidence that with the common wearing of masks and social distancing, they’ll probably be fine, especially in outdoor environments. You know this more than me, but Japanese people tend to have higher attention to detail. They can more effortlessly be aware of situations where they may get infected, and they won’t just say “oh well I’ll take the risk,” they’ll put in the little amount of effort to mitigate getting infected.
