I have come across certain posts in Japanese subreddits which shows weird pictures in front of doors or building(and these are not traditional religious symbols) and have came across posts where OP has been followed by cult members.
So, are cults really prevalent/popular in Japan?

There is a lot of trolling and exaggeration in those Japanese subreddits, so don’t take those posts too seriously.
No.
Are there weirdos in Japan? Well yeah.
Are there weirdos in Japan at a significantly higher rate than anywhere else in the world?
No.
Don’t give anyone you haven’t vetted money. Same as the rest of the world.
These guys are glorifying Japan. There’s a reason why former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated. Cults are prevalent in Japan, it took an assassination to bring the whole situation to light.
