The one main difference between Japanese and European feudalism is that European feudalism involved the exchange of land for services, while Japanese feudalism did not. In European feudalism, land was granted in exchange for military service or other duties. This created a hierarchical system where lords held power over their vassals, who in turn owed them loyalty and service. In contrast, Japanese feudalism was based on a more centralized system without the exchange of land for services. The Japanese feudal system relied on a strong central government and the allegiance of the samurai class, who served the daimyo (feudal lords) without a direct exchange of land.
