I went to Japan earlier this year. Filled the travel related paperwork online in advance, and at the border they took fingerprints, compared face to passport (which I assume included a photo) and that was it. Not any different from any other developed country.
I imagine that most nations would have started doing that extra stuff. Still good to be aware of it since it isn't something I think about often. And since my friends over there have a different process and might not know off-hand to mention.
