When is "reverse culture shock" just "culture shock"? Is that a thing?

Been living in Tokyo for over a decade now, headed "home" for the first time in 3.5 years as a stopover for a work trip. Even back then, I'd noticed a lot of changes, e.g. in demographics, attitudes, culture, norms (genderless bathrooms!).

On second though, maybe I'm mostly weary of dirty/crappy toilets (compared to Japan) so maybe I'm over-thinking it :p
