Japanese culture is very orientated on gifts. People give each other gifts all the time. Employees give their bosses gifts, friends give their friends gifts and in-laws give their in-laws gifts (usually..) It is expected when visiting.
Different places in Japan are filled with pre-made souvenirs specific to that area. When traveling people bring these home to share with everybody. Japanese are especially crazy about food items.
