I live in Japan and both Pachipro and Banzai are correct.

Japan has a very complex and subversive culture. There are currents and eddies swirling around the conversations and communication that foreigners simply cannot fathom. But if you take the country at face value and don your favorite pair of rose-tinted glasses you will be blissfully unaware of the undercurrents and will probably have a good time.
