I live in Japan and have never seen a attendless brick&mortar shop?
Vending machines are everywhere, but usually only for drinks and there is plenty, and I mean plenty of retail shops.
So I don't know what you mean really. Automaking electronics, again not sure, there is a fujitsu factory nearby where I live, there's hundreds maybe thousands of people going in and out of there each day.
Do you have a romantic view of Japan that doesn't exist maybe?
