They have sandals for working and a nap room.
I really want to go work in Japan. I finally get why people are obsessed with anime and their culture.

• Nobody stands up in the movies until the credits are finished. They actually respect the producers and actors.
  


• They don't wear shoes indoors.
  


• Public school funding is untouchable in Japan.
  


• People are generally cleaner (wearing masks to respect others from germs, etc.) from what I saw.
  


• Overall, tipping in Japan is not customary. The Japanese culture is one that is firmly rooted in dignity, respect, and hard work. As such, good service is considered the standard and tips are viewed as unnecessary.
  


• Also, fish in American supermarkets would almost never be considered fresh by Japanese standards. Most of what is considered "fresh" in the fish section in America would be heavily discounted/thrown out in any Japanese supermarket.
  


• Great art culture, especially manga and anime. Great MMOs. Great events/conventions.
  


• Americans are more prudish when it comes to media. In Japan children's cartoons, it's not unusual to see a penis being depicted. It's very much in the context of just potty humor and it's very much thought of like how little kids think "teehee, wienies." You're seen as a pedophile in the west just for talking to a little boy or girl.
  


• Strict gun laws, so there's very few shootings.
  


• Porn is censored (which IMO is a good thing for various reasons, but it's debatable)
  


• And a lot of other things.

Check out the video anyways. That specific place is a nice working environment.

It's just a cool culture to start a family.

Although Japan does have a problem with depression under workers. I think this is a generation thing and might go away within the next one.
Of course, the issue is not as simple as that.
