Question:
In Japan, do parents teach responsibility, or do the schools?
Also, is chores a common thing in Japan or do children help out on their own?
Answer:
Looking at elementary school life, Japanese children should be more chances to get chores.
"当番制 touban (chores) system" is very common among Japanese public schools. I remember we did cleaning all together, school meal setting (as a chore), play music during lunch hour (chore) etc., which I don't see in my daughter's school in Canada.
Especially kyuushoku-touban (school meal setting) is such a nice thing.

As for family life, it depends on the parents or on how many kids there are.
-------------- edit:
Not really about "responsibility", but it's also notable that in Japan, public schools (elementary & junior) are required to introduce "doutoku no jikan (Moral Class)" which might be equivalent of "religion hour"
