they were not pro vaccine at first and were more hesitant at the beginning(as you said it was because of old vaccine scandals) but they ended up getting majority vaxxed anyways so the propaganda must have gotten to them.
Its got its up and downs. Apparently there was no legal mask mandate so if you didn't give a shit about stares you could just go around without one. Same with internal lockdowns
Another big thing was tons of performative shit on TV. All the variety shows had limited audiences (that they made a point of showing), people wearing masks, 6ft of distance between guests, and those stupid plexiglass barriers between guests sitting at the same table. They all know it's bullshit but it's very important to look like you're doing the right thing in Japan.
Iirc japan wasnt very pro covid vax compared to Europe or America. Something to do with some old vaccine scandal so this is a toss up

they are extremely conformist, everyone just wanted to end the pandemic so most of them complied
