If you go out to suburb of Tokyo then you will see many places open from 6 a.m. or before to cater to morning commuters heading into the city.
That makes sense. So do Japanese workers in general start later in the day than in the U.S.? I presume they work much later as a general rule.
I just found it interesting at the hours as many open up at 5:00 a.m. in the states. I didn't know whether it might be that Japanese just don't drink coffee in the morning.

I haven't seen that place yet but I will look shortly since I'm about to go out for a run.
