Nope. It isn't.

I have Japanese friends that I do hug when meeting outside Japan but don't when we meet in Japan. In my native Canada, you're hugging a friend, nobody cares. In Japan, Dame!

It's not about lack of affection but about keeping a certain sense of decorum. I wouldn't want to embarrass my friends.
