If you measure the us conviction rate the same way the commonly quoted 99% conviction rate in Japan is calculated ours is actually higher.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conviction_rate scroll down to the Japan entry for the source. Sorry don't know how to link it directly lol
Japan is just gaming the numbers here. Both with the conviction rate and with the homeless ratio.

According to this link, if you apply western metrics, Japan would have between 100k and 200k homeless. Which would mean Japan has 81.2-162.4 homeless per 100k inhabitants, while the USA has 221.7.
That would make Japan a bit better than the USA, but it's not that much of a difference any more.
