For me, the interesting thing about Japanese work culture is that they pay white collar jobs overtime.

Paid overtime seems to be a blue-collar only thing in most English-speaking countries.

Paid overtime is covered in my contract (with rates detailed etc.), as is leave entitlements (and even how long I can be expected to work without a break). I suspect my contract is not unusual in Australia.
