Japanese police feel awkward dealing with family situations or domestic disputes thanks to the very low crime rate and cultural emphasis on privacy and face.
Japan is very cheap, just not in Tokyo, all the prestige is in being a salaryman in a dying economic, really there needs to be a change in cultural attitude, but the whole society is built around the existing system of corporate work.
Women have entered the workforce to help with the lowering labour force but that slashed wages and made things worse, also women will let down the company if they have a family life.
Dating is awkward so many don't make the effort, it was fine when the men were confident and the women had the expectation of being a housewife. Now both are overworked and make a similar amount, even if they still want much the same they are never in the position to do it and it seems too hard. Also dating is basically superimposed on the existing culture, in the past arranged marriage was still big and frankly it worked a lot better. Dating includes many of the same elements of arranged marriage but it will all break down if the person isn't approved, with arranged marriage people who wouldn't be approved wouldn't be considered.
The current culture is very nihilistic. Really to fix things they will want to ban porn and prostitution, bring back arranged marriage and multi-generational households and move people out into the countryside rather than fixating on corporate jobs. A justifying ideology would also be good, traditionally Confucianism played this role, but Christianity and other traditional religions also focus on legitimizing the continuation of society though the family. I have to say this as liberalism is a socially atomiseing ideology.
