As someone who moved to a place where everything practical is metric it's much easier. We do have a combination of traditional units for a couple of minor things (room/property size, alcohol size) but they're almost always posted side-by-side with metric. We do get screens and some tires in inches, but those also always have metric with them. Most Japanese probably also don't realize that the unit is inches because it's basically a "60-type TV" not a "60-inch TV".
