Yes, they do.

Japanese parents spend almost ALL money on their children and almost none to themselves as they give a birth.
All their savings go to children educations and gifts so their child is not less than other children at school.

You might find it as spoiled kids but usually you have to work for that expensive bags so usually they are not given without you taking all A in school etc.

Also unlike American culture, Japanese culture is very materialistic. Guys in Japan usually buys their date or girlfriend very expensive gifts often.

Birthday you can expect famous brand purses or very very expensive watch.
Japanese guys like to gift a lot so you will get unexpected gifts sometimes as well.

I could not speak for ALL japanese but as a japanese girl who grow up in Japan and US those are the things i realized .

The Japanese girls I know (those that are still studying) might work a few hours per week at minimum wage and have very few personal expenses, but I don’t understand how they could afford bags 100000yen and over…
Do Japanese parents have a habit of offering very big gifts to their children?
I’m just asking… I know in many cultures, including European, parents pay EVERYTHING for their kids, but not where I come from…

I agree with that. they didn’t like the rental bag because bags serves as their property.

This is just confirming what we already know. I was surprised that so many of them found buying second hand acceptable but didnt like the rental bag idea. I wonder why.
