There is a Greek movie based on the exact same idea. Its the "Alps" by George Lanthimos (later known from "Dogtooth" movie).
I don't about Japan, but that movie had a quite depressing ending (not to mention that the whole thing was kinda creepy and unsettling).
A greek director also made a movie based a very similar idea http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1859446/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Also check out his newer movies like The Lobster... really good movies!
