Seems like the Japan stations don't use LoTW. I have a bunch of contacts with and not 1 confirmed by a Japan station.
For the most part I like LoTW and use it exclusively now.

I checked and my LoTW has 998 confirmed Japan contacts from 1992 thru this year, out of 3500 or so in my log.  So some of them do use it :-)
Whatever dude...no need to be snarky. Just sharing my experience.
I have 10,000-12,000 mile SSB contacts confirmed using a BTV with an AL-80 amplifier.
I am proud of my confirmed contacts from my modest station because I earned them.

Oy, I wasn't being snarky !!  People with amps and real antennas have WAAY more contacts with DX than I've ever dreamed of..  It was just meant to be a comparison of a total to LoTW confirmed contacts from one country, mine are all CW.  People using computer modes with automatic uploading (FT8 etc) have anecdotal reports of 90% confirmed QSOs...
