Older people are more likely to develop risk factors and severe health consequences from COVID-19, in the one hand. In the hand, Japan has the high prevalence of the elderly population in world and it has one of the low rate in the world.
By the kind blessing of God, I got an opportunity to work as a JSPS Visiting Scientist in Tokyo University during 1989 to 1990. I found that Japanese people are well disciplined, honest, patriotic , helpful, sincere, and hard working. As they honestly followed the guidelines of lock down, the mortality rate due to COVID-19 is very low.
It's for their better health management and the prevalence was not so high there but the cases are rising now.
Because they are protect themselves from covid-19 & if any one infested, she/he will go to hospital by them.

Japanese people are very disciplined. Therefore, practicing of social distancing and wearing face masks could be the main reasons for low COVID-19 death toll.
They are highly conscious regarding sanitation and social distancing. Besides, their discipline is immaculate.
Low COVID-19 death rate in Japan could be explained by high levels of hygiene practices, low individual autonomy, high humane orientation, the “low-contact” culture, high internet penetration, low body mass and a high number of hospital beds per capita.

The immune system of the Japanese is very high and they maintain all the precautions which are helpful regarding COVID-19.
The low death rate may results from a low rate of infection due to the strict adherence to preventive measures.
Dear Mahendra Pal, thank you for your contribution and for your analysis
Dear Arvind Singh, thank you for your contribution and the good reference
I believe that it is the discipline and the responsibility. Old people are more careful
and many stay at home
Thank you dear Yitzhak Brick, thank you for your opinion. Agree with you
As I was in Japan for few days, I realized that Japanese are the most disciplined people in the globe. They are very strict follower of any rules and regulations. They follow very healthy diet and most of them walk at least 5 km in a day which makes them physically fit. Though there is high prevalence of elderly people in Japan, most of them are way fitter than the people of 40 years of age in rest of the world.
