Nothing fails more miserably than prayer. That the vast majority of Japanese want nothing to do with Christianity ought to tell you something. They have far more to teach you than the reverse.
Being Japanese and a Christian has led me think that God wants me to be a missionary. Weather its in Japan or somewhere else in the world. I don't know how I'm going to do this knowing that I am only a young teen. I also hope to become a pediatrician so that I can help heal the young while spreading the good news to Japan and other people across the world. I also don't know how to speak that well of Japanese even though I am 75% of me is Japanese.
Socksumi, I hope that one day, you too will find God and then be overwhelmed by His love for you!
Japan may be more 'peaceful', but are their lives at peace? There is a HUGE suicide rate in Japan... I pray for Japan very often~ Hopefully, I can spread the love personally there too!
If the Bible tells Christians to forgive, and a supposed Christian doesn't, is Christianity to blame or that person? Christianity is very influential, and many people take advantage of that. such as the catholic church in the past, even though we are supposed to be patient when preaching and set an example. there are families who are the same, they force their children to believe, when the Bible tells them not to exasperate their children or they will be disheartened.
Yes... and though largest percentage of modern Japanese are atheist/agnostic, the culture and ethics are strongly influenced by Shinto, Buddhism and Samurai. Samurai emphasizes achievement, honor and chivalry (not unlike the old knights of England).
Christianity does not figure at all in Japanese culture. Less than 1% are Christian and most of the young Japanese who experiment or "convert" to Christianity soon abandon it (once they regain their senses within mainstream Japanese society).
@Shamalai You are making fallacious causal connections. Indeed I find it offensive to claim those without god belief are not happy and prone to suicide. You could not be more wrong. If you believe you have one shot at life you are motivated to value it more. The Japanese ARE a happy and industrious people.
But their culture does impose certain social demands and for some failure is looked upon with great shame. Suicide is more socially acceptable in Japan going back to the Samurai tradition.
@Shamalai I was in Japan last year and was shocked to notice that 99.9 percent of Japanese are not practicing christians. Which is equivalent to saying that 99.9 percent of Japanese are going to get the shock of their lives when Yeshua returns. .My heart is for evangelism to the Japanese. I'm doing a degree at the moment in London in the hope of being an english teacher to adults. I hope to get a teaching job in Japan - and assist the Japanese church.

Japan (currently) is one of the most peaceful, advanced, civilized, low crime rate countries in the world.
It should come as no surprise that they are also the most atheistic. There is a strong correlation indeed.

You have a very good point! Though, there is a great deal of syncretism in Japan.
