The Japanese government and the people regard industry and manufacturing as a key element in the country's power and prosperity. Therefore they go out of their way to cooperate and support industry.
And the ironic thing is Japanese industry was demolished after the war and an American with some innovative ideas presented his ideas and to a large part set up almost their entire auto manufacturing industry again from scratch. When he tried to interest the US manufacturers in the same ideas, he was turned down because they saw no need. It was only when the Japanese started setting up plants here did the US mfg start to copy their/his ideas.
