What are the typical cultural interests of normal Japanese adults?

This is something I've been wondering about for some time now. I gather that anime and videogames are not generally well-regarded in Japan, despite their popularity in the west, so what do Japanese adults actually enjoy? From what I've seen, pretty much all live-action TV and film made in Japan these days is complete shit.

I hang out with Japs every week and their entire lives seem to revolve around:

60 hrs a week of work and study
Drinks/dinner with friends but not past midnight
Extracurricular stuff (I. E. Singing, kendo, travelling)

Their entire lives seem to revolve around work while spending what little free time they have catching up with people or learning a skill so they can be good at something they actually enjoy.

In japan, sports elite and jock elite will go to baseball club. In fact, every great uni has baseball club and every big company has OB connection of senpai kouhai society of baseball jock elite.

Japanese male train to be samurai after work every day, then they bathe in the onsen and drink sake afterwards.

Japanese girl stay at home to tend to bonsai trees and train for their geisha tea ceremonies every day.

This is objectively the truth.

Those who have answered "we have no life but work" are just being lazy by repeating the stereotype and lying.
It's just that they are massive otakus with few friends to hang out with and they have no idea what other normal people enjoy on their days off.
The vast Majority of the people take their weekend very seriously and devote the time to activities they love.

Can't comment on other peoples lives, but aside from anime and internet shennanigans, I swim three times a week, and play guitar.

People here seem really invested in whatever they do, I always see the same people at the pool
