Actually, they are cracking down on walkers on escalators. No one is supposed to be walking at all because it’s dangerous. There are constant announcements and posters everywhere stating to stand in lines of two on the escalator and to not walk, and this rule is only recently being enforced.
You still see foreigners shouting 'Cowabunga' every time they do a toast in a Japanese bar……This was a short lived fad in Japan and now it's completely frowned upon particularly by elderly Japanese.
Actually in my country it's also common on the escalator to stand on one side and let people walk past. It's rare to see people standing in the middle, but i don't really pay attention to it.

Escalator
In Osaka, it’s the opposite, so be careful not to stand on the wrong side!
Hot Springs
Placing your towel on your head isn’t just practical—it’s stylish and makes you look like a true local!
Night Shooting
Shinjuku and Shibuya are bright and perfect for night photography, even after midnight..
Oh, and Asakusa? It’s much quieter at night, and the Sensoji Temple is beautifully lit up—it’s absolutely stunning!

In the states, you're supposed to keep the right and leave the left side open so people can get passed without issues.
The first one is in Greece to!
