When's the last time you checked ratings on maps? I just looked at Sakata, a small city in Tohoku with no shinkansen line, and plenty of the ratings were above 4 stars. Seemed to be the same all over the place.

I don't think japanese people are unique for leaving dumb reviews. Pretty sure you can find people in all countries saying shit like "store was closed when I went, 1 star".

its pretty impossible to say a statement that blanket a whole country, but there is enough evidence to form the opinion

Maybe people near Tokyo are shittier about reviews? I dunno what to tell you. Guess I haven't spent much time outside Tohoku.

First random city I scrolled to north of Tokyo (in Fukushima):
