Many people can argue a lot about what's beautiful and what's not in western design based on Latin and Latin-like scripts, however I think that the web design has become more streamlined and easier to consume during the last decade. Although the new trends with parallax effects and weird scrolling hacks certainly don't help, but aside from that many websites look really nice on the eyes.

Since I find randomwire.com a nice looking website, I decided to see what it would look like in Japanese: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=en&tl=ja&u=h.... I don't know Japanese and probably the translation is quite a bit off, so I can only speak about the visual aspect of it. I think Japanese characters really don't help the design but overall it doesn't look bad either. Certainly much better than Japanese websites.
