In fact, both Japanese and China people belong to Asians, so many customs and habits of these two countries are similar. For example, Japan is also very lively, and even many Japanese people are even more lively than China people in this respect. Because of this, even if the epidemic situation in Japan is very serious now, there are still many opportunities in Japan, such as marathon. Moreover, large gatherings such as cherry blossom parties have been held in many places in Japan. If the Japanese are suddenly locked indoors, I think they will feel very uncomfortable and think it is restricting their personal freedom.
However, in this respect, China has actually done a good job. When the epidemic began to spread, the people of the whole country United as one, especially Wuhan, which was basically completely isolated. Moreover, in this respect, the people of China are actually very cooperative with the Government. Many people have taken the initiative to isolate, so the epidemic situation in China can be controlled quickly. I think this aspect is actually worth learning from many countries.
In addition, due to the outbreak of the epidemic, in fact, Japan's tourism and some retail industries have been greatly affected, and even many people are working from home, which many Japanese companies do not want to see. In Japan, many companies don't allow employees to take holidays, so most people actually have no choice but to take the subway or bus to work every day, which will greatly increase the probability of infection.
