In some ways, but it would re-inforce the stereotype of conformance. Hard to be an outlier, when your bank manager polices your behaviour. You have to want the Japanese social cohesion a LOT to go there, and remember the cultural ties which favour this also permitted warlords to rape China and Korea. In other ways Japan is pretty harsh: I'm told childbirth is unpleasant compared to many western cultures and the inequality wired into society concerns me.
But I can see upsides, sure. (in a totally different economy and back in the 1980s securing my first home lone in Australia with my partner) I actually liked knowing my bank manager was a person who understood my drives and motivations. The shame was he was late stage career, retired and was replaced by a robot functionary with different KPI.
This is kinda what the US was like up until the 1960s except you had to be white, male, straight, not Italian, Irish, or Polish, well educated and of good standing in your community (read: Christian, but preferably not Catholic).
Basically it sounds good until you realize that kind of power starts to self select for the kind of people it wants to succeed.
The 1960s was very long past the point where being something other than a WASP would keep you from the height of power. It sure as hell wouldn’t keep you from getting a loan if it wouldn’t keep you out of Congress, the Senate or the Governor’s mansion.
