For example, travel tickets bought and paid in advance from an agency will only arrive a week before the trip, so good luck trying to fix possible mistakes/getting visas while working full-time, or getting an apology (or even a correction) when a mistake is clearly theirs.

Simple problems with ethics.
I have never heard anyone say Japanese service is "friendly". What I hear (and experience) is service where the customer is king.

I have never experienced slow or inefficient. Nor have I ever been ignored.

I have no idea what ethics has to do with what you are talking about.
