Hi, Japan has very few pool servers, but in Japan we have the public NICT time server at ntp.nict.jp available in both ipv4 and ipv6, which allows querying the "Japan Standard Time" (atomic clock used by JIS) making it a public stratum 1 server, mostly useful for people based in Japan.
Some more info: http://www2.nict.go.jp/aeri/sts/tsp/PubNtp/index-e.html People in Japan are more likely to use ntp.nict.jp than pool.ntp.org (main reason being that they don't know about the ntp pool, while NICT is a government entity). Anyway hopefully it explains why there's much less pool servers in Japan (other reasons would include difficulty to get a fixed ip). For information my server on the pool based in Japan currently has 50~100kbps of NTP traffic (both ipv4 and ipv6) with some peaks around 200~300kbps.
