Japan’s public debt is more than double its annual economic output, by far the heaviest burden in the industrialized world.

I know running a deficit and having a substantial amount of debt is par for the course among most developed economies, but that's still crazy. Keep in mind, that Japan also has a declining population and said population is likely to be reduced substantially over time, which will put further pressure on their economic output.
Japan's economy seems like a potential disaster waiting to happen.

Suzuki reiterated the government’s aim to achieve an annual budget surplus — excluding new bond sales and debt-servicing costs — in the fiscal year to March 2026. The government, however, has missed budget-balancing targets for a decade.

So there is some desire to fix the issue, but if they've consistently missed their budget-balancing targets, achieving a surplus by 2026 might be wishful thinking.
