Was it ever mandatory? I've heard the compliance levels over there were sky high anyway...

Not mandatory, but nearly 100% masked during covid times.
Masks have been part of Japanese culture before covid and some people seem to enjoy wearing them
The only time I got shit for not wearing a mask (outside!) was from another foreigner who told me to go home where i came from, which was kinda funny
Those "your umbrella will keep me dry" characters. Literal memes šš
