Population density may be a factor but I think it's also cultural.

E.g. I spent 2+ decades in the deep south and "southern hospitality" is definitely a thing. I then moved (back) to Seattle and conversation with strangers was/is much more difficult.

Spend some time in small-town Japan and Seattle will feel like a beach party town in that sense ;)

Loads of hospitality and warmth once you break through the ice, but the first steps are hard
