Sure some employees/companies still ignore legal cap of overtime(360-720hours a year) in Japan and some professions don't have legal cap of working hours to begin with, but USA don't have the labor law to break by Japanese standard, no mandatory paid leave, no mandatory break, no overtime cap etc. Long working hours of Japan in the past mostly came from long overtime, but it decreased quite a bit for last decade. There is some toxic culture left to be changed in Japan(only 56.6% of total paid leave are used for example because of "it cause nuisance to coworkers"), but Japanese workers including parttime workers get 19 days of paid leave on average still fewer than most developed countries vs 10 days for average Americans workers, there are more public holidays in Japan than US too. Japanese employee tend to work later because start late on average, have longer break typically 60minutes in Japan vs 30-45 minutes in the US, there is no federal legal requirement of break, some states have them though. Those people working right now in Japan? Average working hours in the US is longer than Japan right now imo, that's it.
