Not just Japanese, but I believe most East Asian countries as well.

Interestingly, not only with dates, but they order things from the “biggest” to the “smallest”

Like Year-month-day for dates.

Family name - personal names for names.

And for address, they start with country, city, street name, then house number. Opposite of what is more common in western countries. I actually find it more useful as very often I remember which street my friends live in but not the house number, and I can type it in and expect google maps to give me the result based on my search history. Not so useful with house numbers if you can’t remember them.

A generalization that does not apply in places like Tokyo, where many houses are numbered by their age, and street names are not used at all.

Also applies to Hungarian and Lithuanian, which are in Europe. Still, I agree, weird to characterize it as European.
