The problem with language and cultural issues isn't with neutrality, or whether-or-not something gets written about, it's how it gets written about. Indeed, the "cultures" aren't really differences between Danish culture and Japanese culture - they're differences between the internal culture of the Danish wikipedia and that of the Japanese wikipedia.
The important differences are the deep one between cultures and linguistic structures. The concepts that are most significant in a culture are taken for granted by the members of that culture. It's "the way things are done", and doing things differently is well outside the box. Other cultures will take an entirely different set of ideas for granted. Different pronoun sets, the selection of verb forms, the use of inflections instead of prepositions can all be major factors in cultural differences. It's not so simple that it can be dismissed as a difference between internal Wikipedia cultures.
