The larger size of their bills is very distinct compared to American crows. And sure enough they're called large-billed crows. The videos I've found show they have much deeper voices than American crows. It looks like the carrion crows of Japan are more like American crows.

Oh wow, cool info! Their calls were a lot deeper! They were also a lot less bothered by humans, letting me get really close.
