Although this is the custom, there are still many places where foreigners gather and celebrate with a countdown. But don't expect them to be easy to find!
I’m glad you got a feel for the traditions! Hahah. Walked through the stations even today and it’s still empty since everyone is home. That’s another thing that most people would expect - 3 days of that same quiet.
hmmm,... with Joya-no-Kane I would not say Japan New Year Eve is quiet. Also, depending on your neighborhood, the town elders may walk through the streets and call out to homes to mind their electric blankets and kotatsu.

Only tourist on the street, no fireworks, no countdown. Grab some beers and snacks watch kohaku uta gassen and after midnight visit local shrine
