My wife actually speaks a bit of Japanese. Her parents lived there for a while. My father-in-law is fluent in Japanese. Definitely a skill I'm envious of!
I think mostly what I don't think I'd function well in would be the whole hierachic honor culture. Not sure how much that is just stereotypes and how much of that everyday people deal with. I always get the impression that most of the culture is based on that. And then there's that movie, Shall We Dance, about a Japanese guy who does ballroom dancing, which is scandalous because you're not even supposed to hold hands with your wife.
