Heard the hotel rooms are very small and not soundproof, you can hear people talking in other rooms

This is the main reason. I would choose Japan and not China.

Japan is no longer the expensive place it used to be. Their prices haven't changed much in 20 years and what's more JPY is near all time now to SGD. Japanese ramen in JP is now about half price what we pay in SG.

The reason Sporeans like to go Japan is because we used to be Japan’s colony, correct?

Most of them are small and they charge by person. Not worth by package. But it is hard to book individually if you don’t have friends there or don’t stay there long.
Some go for the sea food and skiing.

Their marketing skills are very good and know how to package very ordinary attractions and products / services into something unique. The polite hospitality together with their kawaii and anime culture appeals to a lot of overseas people.
Following the rapid depreciation of the JPY, it's becoming very cheap these days, so not surprising many Singaporeans are heading there. I have heard from Singaporeans who have lived there on longer term as expats that Japan is a good place for tourism but a bad place for long stays / permanent residence though.
Agreed!
If want majestic scenery visit China - Jiuzhaigou Zhangjiajie Huangshan Huashan Huanglong Tienshan Inner Mongolia and if interested in peach/plum/cheery blossoms China offers even better views than Japan! Temples? Heritage sites? China's more superior! It's like comparing the churches in US to those in Italy! Or if you are anti China Switzerland or even New Zealand offer more superior scenery!
True China not as good as Japan in promoting its heritage! I had the impression that China was backward then but boy were I wrong! Talk about modern cities - many cities in China are more technological advanced than Singapore even those heritage sites amenities are easily accessible. I visited Leshan wow you won't believe the 6* hotels available and at affordable price!

They are used to it. They were ruled by the Japanese for a century. Imported a lot of Japanese culture during that period.
