Our 2 Japanese cars were both 2nd generation Prii - a 2005 and a 2009. I had the 05 until it was 12 years old and the 2009 until it was 10. Both had the 3-way coolant valve for the thermos stick open but that was the only repair. Everything else was maintenance by the book.
My parents have only owned one Japanese car - a 2010 Prius. It has required no repairs in 10 years / 190K miles.
