Are the Japanese on the move (travelling, commuting) more than people in other countries?

Everyone knows that Japan has the world's highest rates of rail travel. But Japan also has some of the world's busiest domestic airports, busiest domestic flights, and very high rates of car ownership - higher than most European countries. Whereas in other countries, high rates of rail travel translate to fewer cars and vice versa. The only logical conclusion to me is that the Japanese are on the move more than people in other countries. Do you agree with this conclusion? And what are the reasons for this?

Yes.

When I was lived in Japan, shoe repair shops were popular. People wore out the heels of their shoes by walking.
