Typically, the definite article is not used here. In other words, it is "Western culture", "Japanese culture", etc.

"Western culture" is never used with the definite article. It's always just "Western culture." For example: "A person from Japan who moves to North American or Europe has to get used to Western culture." "After, living in New York for three years, he moved back to Tokyo. He just couldn't get used to Western culture."

"Japanese culture" is usually used without the definite article. For example: "An American who moves to Japan has to get used to Japanese culture." However, there are some situations where the definite article is used. For example: "After living in Japan for three years he moved back to New York. He just couldn't adapt to the Japanese culture."
