It seems like security in general is taken lightly in Japan.

Probably because they tend to work on a honor system and are generally well behaved. I think the subconscious idea is "Why would people try to hack the system? It is wrong", because they wouldn't do it themselves, the threat is like an alien concept.

It works in a day-to-day life. In fact, it is a very pleasant experience and often one of the top things people say when you ask them what the like about Japan. But for IT security where the threat can come out of anywhere, it doesn't work.
