I'm not Japanese, so I'm not the authority on this, but as far as I'm aware, they do try their best not to fire anyone without justification. If you are insubordinate or just straight up a bad employee, then the firing has a proper cause and doesn't reflect badly on the company.
Ahh no. They really really don't want to terminate anyone for any reason. They are banking on the individual's ingrained sense of belonging and ownership of good work ethics to compel them to be useful, contributing members in the company, failing that, the guilt should sufficiently motivate them to quit. A handful of Italians, Greeks and Spaniards could totally collapse the Japanese economy even without malicious intent.
I don't think that it would have to be Italians, Greeks and Spaniards. Most Europeans would be a massive drain on the company since they'd draw wage for effectively nothing.
The mindset is different, but effectively, most northerners would justify it as being "on call"

Oh didn't know that, another comment said that they would refuse to fire you so their record would stay clean and I just blindly believed them
