When you spend enough time in Tokyo you see two major influences: America and France. You see it in the restaurants and shops - non-Japanese food and goods are usually either from the US or France. One particular annoying habit that still has a strong hold here is smoking during meals. Not to say that France invented it - I just see the Japanese as having borrowed this habit from the French. They smoke indoors here, still, something that I hope changes soon....
