that sounds like a waste
Cumulative damage from tectonic activity and extreme weather, iterative increase in building standards. The actual value in a property is mostly in the land plot. For a modern nation their real estate is actually quite cheaply built, thus the trope about thin walls letting even the smallest of sounds through - because they do.
Knew a jap who spent half a year in Lofoten as an international exchange student in the late 80s, and staying in a house with insulation even in all the interior walls and permanent heating in every room blew his mind.

When you put it that way, yeah one way or the other 10-20 years a major earthquake is going to happen and those buildings are going to wind up getting destroyed anyway.

A lot of their infrastructure is made to be easily rebuilt for that reason.
Like in telecoms for the last hundred meters there will often be a patch panel rather than a splice-bomb so that in the event of a storm or tectonic event bringing down or tearing overhead lines, they'll just unplug and replace them with a standard length optic cable. So you're 60m away from the utility pole, that's a 75m standard cable, the rest gets wound up in the termination box cabinet. Domestic gas lines are more uncommon, more usual to have your own tank that gets periodically filled by a tanker for a big household or apartment building, or have a 11kg standard flask delivered every few weeks. Oil/paraphin indoor heating is super common, usually with portable heaters that you move around to the room(s) you are currently using. AC is super common, but often sparingly used since electricity is expensive and houses and apartments are often poorly insulated. Very anachronistic and old fashioned in many respects
 
How? You're not even capable of getting a job in the U.S. How do you suppose you could land a job in a foreign country?

You're obviously mentally retarded, lack any sort of employable skills, don't speak Japanese and genuinely repulsive. Why would anyone ever hire you?
I could always learn Japanese on my free time. Im capable of getting a job, i just have standards when it comes to a potential job.
Japan look ghetto asf. Oh wait you're from a ghetto, nvm.
