Knowing Japan, it’ll formally be 4 10-hour days rather than 4 8-hour days. Though in a culture where it is considered unacceptable to leave before your boss does, whether that’ll translate into people spending an extra 2 hours in the office is uncertain.
Yeah - it wouldn't be surprising if in a lot of settings for the 4 days to have crazy hours from what is published about the work culture.
Japan works less than the usa.
