Okay, so I am 5 foot 5 and that's considered 'average' height here. I am going to be moving to Japan shortly, would 5 foot 5 for a women be tall there?

  Any info would be great. Thanks.

You'll be taller than the average by about an inch or so, according to WikiPedia:

[a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_height"]The average height of a Japanese female is 5' 2.4"[/a]  (scroll down)

The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

Actually a *lot* of Japanese women wear high heels, so just wear flats and you'll hardly be noticed.
