Is it a cultural thing or do they have extremely harsh laws/punishment?
Both, I suppose.
As said before, petty theft / crime simply doesn't happen because it would bring shame on themselves and their family if they were caught and also the Japanese police are not to be messed with.
If you're arrested in Japan, they can hold you for as long as they see fit and they can be quite nasty.
