Just an FYI but the Japanese take their privacy far more serious than many in the west are used to<p>Examples:<p>Check Japanese Facebook accounts. 99% of them have no pictures of themselves nor is their profile pic a picture of themselves<p>Japanese don&#x27;t use selfie sticks to take pictures to brag. They use them to not have to ask a stranger to take their picture. See paragraph above<p>In Japanese law it is illegal to take pictures of people in public without their permission. Not enforced for crowds but it is the law<p>Trade shows booths will often have &quot;no pictures&quot; signs which are respected in Japan and would be ignored I most western countries<p>Nearly all hotels in Japan have porn but you can pay for it by using a cash based vending machine in the hallway. It gives you a card with a code you type into the tv. It therefore doesn&#x27;t show up on your credit card or hotel receipt<p>You have always been able to buy almost anything on the Internet with cash in Japan. You order and choose to pay with one of the many 3rd party payment systems. You&#x27;re given a code. You go to the nearest convenience store and use a machine there to print out a barcode page (or print it yourself). You hand it to the clerk who scans it and takes your money. The item is now paid for. The merchant knows what you ordered but the payment company has no info on you.<p>Japan was the only country to get in a tizzy over google street view issues.<p>I bring all those up just to point out that the Japanese have a vastly different attitude toward privacy
